Meryem 7 Yaşında

Kızım bugün 7 yaşını doldurdu. Bu sene Meryem ile ilgili yazılarımız doğum günü gelmeden hazırdı. Haftanın öğrencisi olduğu zaman Emre ve ben birer sayfa mektuplarımızı yazıp göndermiştik bile. O yazıları bu sayfaya ekledim. 

Kızım seni sen olduğun için çok seviyoruz. Bilmiş bilmiş konuşmalarını, yerinde gözlemlerini ve hiç bitmeyen enerjini çok seviyorum. Herşeyi ne kadar da çabuk öğreniyorsun!


İyi ki doğdun ve iyi ki benim en büyük kızımsın!



Kızımın yeni yaşının ilk gününde canım kızımız ve oğlumuzla. Elif'im daha uyuyordu.



My Little Sweet Angel Meryem,
I remember your eyes were full open seconds later you were born and you were staring at me with your big dark eyes. I love those eyes. You sure have an expressive face and I like how that communicates your feelings sometimes even stronger than your words.
I like the big smile on your face and I want to see that smile all the time. It is making me feel happy. It is making us all happy (your daddy, your brother and your little sister). Your big smile is like the touch of sun light on our faces in the mornings when we wake up. I love it! It is scientifically proven that emotions are contiguous so once you are around I can’t think of anyone that will not pick up your happiness. You sure will be one of those people everyone will want around. You have a magic in your smile!
You made me proud so many times and I know whatever you start doing you will do the best. You were rocking out at the soccer field. I really enjoy how you get better in playing the piano. You are brave and strong. As soon as you started walking you were practicing climbing and monkey bars. You will try out doing new things and you will learn how to get better at things. You sure do not give up easily.
You are a great big sister. Even though you and your brother have some though times during your play time I know you always take care of him and your little sister. Once we are outside you watch them carefully. You always make sure they are safe and happy.
You attend to every detail, and respect to your friends' choices. At the same time you expect the same respect. You come home learning new things, you pick up books that you will learn.  
I love our summers where we go out for walking, you ride your bikes, hiking in the woods, spending hours at the beach and having lots and lots of picnics, breakfast-picnic, late afternoon picnic, dinner picnic… Sometimes ending the day by getting a big ice-cream - you always pick strawberry and chocolate, I usually pick mint-chocolate chips and Bilge always tries something new.
I love finding notes in random places like in your pocket or your backpack all saying how much you love me. As you say “I love you when you hug me, I love you when you smile”. We grownups sometimes forget how it is important to give those big warm hugs and having that magical smiles on our faces. I have one of your notes in my office reminding me those.
I think I miss waking up with your interesting questions like why blue berries are blue or how the very first tree came out in the world. Even though we don’t always have the answers we think together and those conversations always open a door for something new we did not know before. I think we are having less of those recently, so we should pick that up soon. Those questions always show me how much hard thinker you are and how careful you are in your observations.
I know you want 100 stuffed animals in your room, you want a big backyard where you can grow a variety of fruits and plant our favorite herbs- we will make sure to have mint for you and basil for me. We will definitely have lots and lots of flowers. I am not sure if we will be able keep bunnies in our backyard but it is fun to dream about having a lot of fluffy bunnies and a doggie. Whatever the future have for us I know it will definitely have a lot of fun, surprises, new experiences and lots of learning.


I am so happy to have you as my daughter, you are my little sweet angel that makes me happy all the time.  Love, Mommy

Dear Meryem
After starting the first grade, I am very happy to observe your improvement. You surprise me with the new things you learn at school, some of which I even don't know myself. I enjoy seeing your artwork, you start to work on details and your work includes very specific details that shows your attentiveness. Your reading improved steadily throughout the school year. At the end of the year l believe that you will start reading chapter books. I can't wait to hear the stories that you will read us.


I admire your patience and caring towards your little brother and sister. Both of them enjoy spending time with you. At times you become little Ms. Watrich and start teaching new things to your brother, read books to him. Both your brother and sister loves to play with you.
As your parents we are very proud to see the improvement in you. We are happy to see the things you achieve when you work hard. We want you to be a hard working, caring and happy person. We are glad to see that you are on the right direction.. We are very happy and proud to be your parents.
