Letter to Shivansh on your seventh birthday

 My cuddly boo bear,

There’s no other creature as funny and cute as you are. And while mama would like to squish you, you’re growing with your boy-like traits too soon. You hate PDA unless it’s the zone-out hour with your dad.

While I’m glad you’re not turning out to be the rowdy and rebellious lad, I’m concerned about your screen addiction and restlessness. I hope we can expose you to better things, so you’re not addicted to anything and get calmer.

While your antics are amusing, and your humor is endearing, I notice you seek constant validation. I wish you so much self-confidence and a sense of being that you never seek external validation and find everything within. Remember that a strong sense of being is ever so important. I wish you more confidence like you made us incredibly proud this year with your super impressive oratory skills.

Thanks for being incredibly patient with your sister. You show immense bravery and courage in the face of her tyranny and interference with every thing you do. 

Let’s get you moving this year and give you an action-packed year.

From a mom who finds a great sense of being from you,

Mommy
