I love your smile!!

Hi peanut,

I loved those pics of you at Alice's Teacup & I still can't get over your cute missing-a-toothy smile! I cannot, cannot, cannot wait to see you! It is only about a week now!!!!!! 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-OOOOPPP!

So, Dada told me how happy your teachers were to have you in their class, and how sweet and helpful you are to the other kids. It made me really proud (of course, I am already proud. You are so wonderful!! I love you so much!! Did you know that? Surely not!).

Are you at the Barn now? What play is Baba rehearsing? Is it another funny one where he gets to tell jokes and sing? Maybe when I come back we can go see it together. I loved his other plays.

Well, I am sitting by an open window overlooking the Nile, and it is super pretty. My room is very big and has silly things like a big lamp with lights shaped like flames and a big axe sticking up in the middle. It's very funny! Also, from my balcony I can hear frogs croaking. It's very rare that I get to hear frogs, so this is really nice!

Will you write and tell me about what you all are doing?? I'd love to know. As for me, I visited a temple today, but we're going to see churches tomorrow. One of them had bright pink and green swirly columns. You'd think it was quite something--like a popsickle!!

O.k., I love you dearest one. I'm posting two cute pics of you....

Love, love, love,

your Mama
