Dear Lila,
You got a paper cut on your finger and like all paper cuts, it huuuuuurt. And I forgot about your paper cut when I was giving you a shower and rubbed soap right into it. You started crying and I washed the soap off as fast as I could. I felt so bad about making the cut worse and kept saying, "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Between sobs, you managed to say, "It's okay, Mama. It was a mistake."
Thank you for being so mature and understanding!
Love,
Mom

Princess Paramedic
Dear Lila,
We went to the playground after school last Friday and there was a pretty traumatic incident while we were there. A girl your age fell off of the tall jungle gym, hit her head on the ground and laid there completely motionless and unresponsive for several minutes while her mom held her. I called 911, the paramedics came and the girl and her mom got in the ambulance and went to the hospital. I saw the girl's mom at your school today and she told me that the girl is thankfully 100% fine but whew, that was the scariest thing we had ever witnessed at the playground.
The whole thing left an impression on you. After the ambulance drove away, we were sitting on a bench and you told me, "When I grow up, I want to be a helper in an ambulance . . . And a princess."
Helpful and glamorous, I like it!
Love,
Mom

Shy Mode
Dear Lila,
You are definitely more outgoing than you were before but you still shut down around new people and go into "shy Lila mode" -- when a person you're not comfortable with talks to you, you look down at the ground, wiggle your foot back and forth and stick the tip of your tongue out of the corner of your mouth. Once I see that pose, I know that that person is not going to get any words out of you!

Mom

Ninja Turtle Chocolate
Dear Lila,
When I asked you what you wanted for breakfast today, you said you wanted bread with "Donatello" chocolate--you meant Nutella. Haha!
Love,
Mom
