Dear Niu Niu，
   Welcome to the world!Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.
   When your sister was born，we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she grows up in and now you will grow up in a world with better education，               ，stronger communities，and greater equality.We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology，your generation should live much better lives than ours，and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen.Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong，we still believe these positive trends will win out.We're optimists（乐观主义者） about your generation and the future.
   But rather than write about growing up，we want to talk about childhood.The world can be a serious place.That's why it's important to make time to go outside and play.
   You will be busy when you're older，so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now.I hope you read your favorite books so many times and hope you start inventing your own stories.I hope you ride the carousel（旋转木马）until you've tamed（驯服） every color horse.I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want.And then I hope you take a lot of naps.I hope you're a great sleeper.And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.Childhood is magical.You only get to be a child once，so don't spend it worrying too much about the future.You've got us for that，and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.Niu Niu，we love you so much and were so excited to go on this adventure with you.We wish you a life of joy，love and the same hope you give us.
Love，
Mom and Dad
