Hong Kong 2004
Anita was in the baby nursery cuddling the infant in her arms. She sat down on the bed and watched the baby making a yawn and then motioning his tiny mouth as if he was still being fed. Lemon-B, who would be turning three soon, playfully charged into the room and jumped unto the bed next to Anita. She wanted to carry the baby.
“Lemon-B, you have to be careful not to knock into your brother.” Anita patted the head of the little girl and gently placed the baby unto the child’s lap and arms. She watched as the child leaned in and kissed her baby brother gently on his head.
“Daddy said Boy-Boy likes to sleep a lot!” Lemon-B signaled to Anita that she got enough of carrying the baby. So she took the baby back into her arms. She chuckled at the child’s cuteness and at how soon she lost interest in her brother. She crawled to the other side of the bed and grabbed the pillow and hugged it to her chest. “Daddy said Mommy used to sleep here with me when I was a baby.”
