I’m sorry if I smothered you
I sometimes wish I’d stayed
Inside my mother
Never to come out
Listening to Naseem sing to Aleena is adorable his made up songs crack me up it’s the cutest thing ever.
Aleena my princess
You are so adorable
Daddy has no idea what rhymes with adorable.
You are so tiny
You are so small
Whatever you want
I’ll give you it all
You’re gonna be so spoiled
But that’s alright
Because you’re the sweetest chunky monkey in sight
