Aubrey is Seven!

As a parent, I think I won't get tired of saying, time flies whenever my kids reach milestones in their lives.

Last October 15, Aubrey celebrated her seventh birthday. As much as she wished to have her seventh in a party venue with all of her friends and family, we had an intimate party at home due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, it was more fun than what we've expected.

My top 3 realizations now that my second is seven.

1. There is truth in the saying: the days are long and the years are short - I remember the movie Click by Adam Sandler.  Sometimes you wish to fast forward everything when you have a baby because of the endless sleepless nights.  But when your child hits seven, suddenly you want everything to slow down and enjoy this cute stage in their lives.
2. Empathy is key - Aubrey has the highest empathy among the siblings.  She has a great sense of how the people around her feels.  Sometimes, it becomes too good for her such that she cries when she knows someone in the family is hurt.
3. True Joy - Aubrey is such a simple person.  And I think much more than the gifts, her greatest wish was for her family to be super happy on her birthday.  That everyone maintains a cool and calm aura.

To our dear Aubrey, we love you so much little Peppa.
