How your grandparents love you

Dear Jovann, when you grow up, you must love all 4 of your grandparents, because they love you so much.

Ah Gong and Ah Ma had to endure so many of your tantrums when you are sleeping, tired and therefore irritable. You kick and punch Ah Gong sometimes when he is holding you in his arms. Many times he frantically warm up your milk feed and trying to placate the screaming you at the same time, only to have you fall asleep once the milk is ready. When you are in your "I-don't-wish-to-drink-from-bottle" mood, Ah Gong had to carry you in one arm and bounced around in a mock-dance to keep you entertained enough to finish 50ml. Ah ma has also had to sing and dance in front of you when Ah gong is feeding you to keep you distracted to forget the milk is coming from the bottle and not mummy. I saw her doing that before and she was panting with exhausation and you must remember that your ah ma is not in the best of health. They do all they can to keep you happy and well-fed because they love you.

Gong gong and mama loves having you over on mondays and tuesdays. You squeal and laugh so loudly when gong gong plays with you, chuckles with glee and likes to hold conversations with them. mama loves you very much. Once, she was carrying you in her arms and sitting on the floor. gong gong came over with a hot cup of tea and pretend to offer it to ma ma. he made the mistake of holding the cup of tea over you, and ma ma literally exploded with rage at gong gong. She was so verbal and expressive with her thoughts about gong gong one would think he had tried to force hot tea down your throat. As it is, not a drop spilled out of the cup at all but ma ma is fantic and adamant that gong gong not do something like that again.
