Happy Birthday! I'm sorry I'm emailing a day late, but it's entirely Mama and Baba's fault. In the future I won't forget, I promise.
It was so good to meet you finally! And I have to tell you, I had a ball. Normally I'm not too keen on little boys. Little girls, of course, are entirely another matter. But I just felt I shared a bond with you. I probably couldn't respond with as much dexterity as I would've liked (yeah, I've been reading, hence the vocabulary), but I hope you understand that I''m a few months behind you. Just know that I really enjoyed our meeting, and I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful friendship with you.
Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. So tell me, how did you spend your birthday? Any tips for me when mine comes around? I hope I am in the US with Mama and Baba when it does, so we can have you over and celebrate it together. I do miss Mama and Baba sometimes, though, to be honest, I'm having a whale of a time here in Lahore. Nano, Nana and Khala take such good care of me! And they spoil me, too, which I've heard is something parents don't do. I still keep Nano up at night sometimes, but that's because I'm teething. I love crawling, and my favorite spot in the entire house is the mosaic in our front lobby.
Anyway, now that we've met, do keep in touch. Looking forward to hangin' with you, ma' man!
Lots of love,
Faiz.
P.S. I picked up the slang lingo from my mamoons, who want me to be cool. I'm not sure how Mama would feel about it. So let's keep it our little secret, okay?
P.P.S. Do you think it's cool?
