Whenever I look at my baby girl, I find myself questioning if she's truly just a year and eight months old. Sometimes, her behavior is so mature and responsible, it’s hard to believe she’s still a toddler. There are moments when she surprises me with how much she can understand, mimic, and contribute, making me feel like she’s more than just a baby, she is a little helper in baby form sent from above.
When I’m cooking, she insists on doing everything I do. Whether it’s stirring the pot or trying to place the ingredients into the bowl, she wants to be right there beside me, her tiny hands imitating mine. And it’s not just the kitchen, whenever we go out to buy something, she wants to carry a part of it, if not all of it. It doesn’t matter if the item is bigger than her, or if it’s heavy. Her determination is unshakable, and I can’t help but admire her persistence.
What amazes me most is the fact that her brain is constantly working. I can tell she’s processing everything around her, always observing, always learning. She is not just a baby, she is someone with a deep understanding of her world, and that makes me think maybe, just maybe, she’
Is been sent to help and guide us, her family. Her presence is so purposeful, and I feel grateful every single day for her unique spirit.
Of course, she is not all serious! She can be dramatic, funny, and full of joy all at once. She's like a burst of sunshine, lighting up every room she enters. There is this one adorable thing she does when I complain about a small ache or scrape. Immediately, she turns into a little doctor, rubbing balm on my wound, her tiny hands gently patting me as she apologizes over and over again, as if I’m in serious pain. That is how we came to call her “Doctor.” It’s her way of showing care and making sure everyone is okay, even if she is the smallest one in the room.
But what really shows her fierce love and protectiveness is the way she looks out for her older brother. Her brother is a shy type, hardly speak If wronged, but whenever his sister is around, If anyone dares to hurt him or pick on him, she’s there in a heartbeat to defend him. She may be little, but don’t let that fool you, she will stand her ground. And when she does, she doesn’t just fight back, she pacifies him afterward with her sweet and caring nature.
And she can frustrate anything out of that brother she care for, Her older brother will sometimes come running to me, saying, “Mummy, come and see! Morayo is beating me, I will beat her back!” But despite his protests, he won’t lay a finger on her. His innocent eyes can’t bear to hurt his baby sister, especially when she’s the one comforting him.
My baby girl is a perfect blend of a helper, protector, and little sunshine, and let not forget she is stubborn too. Watching her grow and evolve every day reminds me that she’s already much more than I ever expected. She's teaching me, shaping me, and constantly showing me that even the smallest hands can have the biggest impact.
