5 years and 10 months old

Today at the Chinese dance, I saw that you were very tired. However, you persevered. I never see you so determine before. Your performance is in Dec and today it's the second time you had to practice for 3 hours. Last week you were not well & had food poisoning. Even with that, you wanted to go for latin and Chinese dance. I was with you all the time at your dancing class to ensure that I'm there for you when you are tired, to hug you and to give you mental and emotional support. You were so willful to learn the dance steps, which are very confusing to me. Wow, I'm so impressed with you. I must write this down so that you know how proud I am seeing your determination and perseverance towards dancing. After dancing, you wanted to go cycling to show me you can cycle with 2 wheels now. Again, I'm very impressed with your determination. You were able to cycle on 2 wheels a little on your second attempt and successfully on your 3 attempts onwards. When you first cycled on 2 wheels, you had to stop because you were out of breath. It was too exciting for you that your whole face turned red and your heart thump so hard and fast. You were unhappy due to short of breath. I think you were disappointed at yourself for not able to continue to practice. Mummy and daddy told you it's normal and it happened to us before too. Your palms were all red and swollen abit as you gripped the handle very tightly on your first attemp. I'm so proud of you and love you so much.
