\ud83c\udf3f Fatema\u2019s Voice<\/p>

I wonder what my daughter thinks about throughout the day.<\/p>

What goes on in that tiny little head of hers?<\/p>

When we wake up and cuddle in bed\u2026<\/p>

\u201cOh how I love cuddling with mama.
It feels warm and happy here.\u201d<\/p>

And when she cries for milk\u2014<\/p>

\u201cYayyy\u2026 my favourite milk.
Mama even remembered the straw.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNow I can drink properly while listening to Wheels on the Bus.
Yesss\u2026 she played it.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHahaha look\u2026 mama is dancing.\u201d<\/p>

Bath time.<\/p>

\u201cRunnnn before mama catches me.\u201d
\u201cHide behind dadi.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSplash splash.\u201d
\u201cPlay play.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s so fun making mama run around just for a bath.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh no\u2026 bath is over.\u201d
\u201cNow run again before she makes me wear clothes.\u201d<\/p>

Hair?<\/p>

\u201cNo wayyyy.\u201d
\u201cNever letting you do it.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh. Done already?\u201d
\u201cOkay wait\u2026 let me remove it myself.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHahaha open hair again.\u201d<\/p>

And meal times?<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m hungry. I\u2019m hungry.\u201d
\u201cOhhh food.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s exactly what I wanted.
Spoon and hands both? Perfect.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m eating by myself\u2026 yayyy.\u201d<\/p>

And then suddenly\u2014<\/p>

\u201cNo. I\u2019m not hungry anymore.\u201d
\u201cBut why does she keep asking me to eat?\u201d<\/p>

Let me pull mama\u2019s clothes so she understands.<\/p>

\u201cOut outtt!!\u201d
\u201cPark park!!\u201d
\u201cSwings and slides!!\u201d<\/p>

Snack time?<\/p>

\u201cOh cheese!!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNo wait\u2026 I want something sweet.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYAYYY\u2026 halwa today.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI want to play.
Play play play.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYes stickers.\u201d
\u201cYes books.\u201d
\u201cRead with me mama.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAnd music toys too.
My favourite.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI want chocolate.
How do I tell her?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cCry? Ask? Point?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOhhh she understood.
Chocolateeee.\u201d<\/p>

And when mama sits with her phone or work\u2014<\/p>

\u201cMamaaaa enough.
Put it away and play with me.\u201d<\/p>

And when the whole family sits together laughing\u2014<\/p>

she laughs too.<\/p>

Even when she doesn\u2019t fully understand the conversation.<\/p>

Maybe because happiness is contagious.<\/p>

Or maybe\u2026<\/p>

she just loves being part of us.<\/p>

Maybe toddlers don\u2019t remember every moment.
But they remember how safe love feels.<\/p>

And then comes sleep time\u2026<\/p>

\u201cNo sleep.\u201d
\u201cCry cry.\u201d
\u201cTantrum tantrum.\u201d<\/p>

But then\u2014<\/p>

\u201cMama is here.\u201d
\u201cCozy.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOkay\u2026 maybe I sleep now.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cGoodnight mama.\u201d<\/p>
