Hey, mama, why sometimes life is so much fun?

Life has changed for me

Hey, mama, even though I know you sometimes complain about me
I can feel you still love me
otherwise how can you feel so happy after a long day
just seeing me and Yaya flying, hopping and running
I know I am not good at jumping yet
but still I can try, right?
because i know no matter what I do
as long as i am happy
you are just so thrilled

Hey mama, even though I know your wrist hurts more in the winter
still I don't mind asking to be "up"
coz I know whenever I wish
you will simply do what I want
coz daddy told you "it will not be long that Peter will not let you hold him"
so you are afraid, right?
I know, I know
that's why I like to try
sometimes to act as if I am changing every minute
sometimes to act as if I am already two

Hey mama, even though I scream at Yaya from time to time
still I am so happy I have her in my life
coz she always do whatever I want to do, whatever you don't like me to do
and isn't that really cool
like opening another juice box for me
like feeding me when you ask me to stop running and sit down for dinner
like tumbling, jumping on bed with me
like putting on dad's shoes and walking around,
like holding my hand and running out of the door and away from you
like handing me another candy without saying "no more"
like telling me how to answer your question"who is that in the picture?"
Although when she whispers "ter-ter" to me
I like to say "Pee-Pee" to beat
coz
I know you will laugh
I know that's how you think I am funny

Hey mama, even though I like it when Yaya hugs me
still sometimes I try to act like I don't care indeed
coz you know
I am a little man,
and Man is not supposed to be so girly
but, but
I love the magic of my hugs
I love to see her stopping crying right away whenever I hug her
I love to see her open her arms and wait for me to cuddle
most of all
I love the fact that I am so important to you all

Hey mama, even though sometimes I upset you
still more often I know you are so proud
coz now I can talk to you
in my own words
Yeah, yeah
it is true
because after so long of training you
finally, finally you got my word
like "happy book" means "the book 'if you are happy'"
like "nod-nod" means giraffe
like "mama" means I need you
like "no-no" means you keep on trying
like "llo-llo" means I want your phone
like "wai-wai" means I want to go out
More and more, I am glad you read books about me
you learned only one good meal can be expected out of me
now that you are patient with me
so
most of the time
if I am in the mood
I will be nice to you

Hey mama, even though you like time flying fast
still I know you already miss my past
coz you see
just review my picture of a year ago
you can not put your writing on a hold
Anyway so far life seems still good
and I will stay in this mood if I could
No, no,
that was your hope
just don't drag me in your loop
