I’m saying all this while being well aware of the fact that I’m included in this generic but to-the-point indicative list of ‘compulsive-n-paranoid’ mother traits. What led me to suddenly come up with this? Let me tell you..
I was mildly surprised (and I swear I even blushed a bit) when A came to me with an apple slice and offered to feed it to me. Well aware of his habit of restlessly shoving one full slice in my mouth to save time (and spoil the whole romance along with ) I begged him to leave it aside for me to have it later.
What A did after that was completely unexpected! I thought I heard him tell A Jr, ‘Jaao Mamma ko apple khilake aao’ (go feed Mom the apple slice) but wasn’t sure if I heard it right. Right I was indeed! There came my cute little prince armed with an apple slice and the most killing smile in the world and extended the slice towards me. When I tried to take it from his hands he flatly refused and asked me to bend down. I obliged. I couldn’t believe my destiny and was almost in happy tears when he fed me the whole slice, no rushing, no hurrying, allowing me to chew it properly, all the while flashing that million dollar smile! *Getting all emotional again!* 🙂 🙂
It was a sight to behold. I wonder why it never struck me to take a video. May be some moments are best kept that way? I remembered all the times when I got all restless and squirmy while feeding him and felt immensely guilty for them. How true, kids teach us valuable lessons in the most unusual ways. And we mothers always take pleasure in accepting that our kids outshine and outlearn us, at any age whatsoever.
🙂 Awww and big hugs to the lovey-dovey family. (So Calvin does have a soft side, eh 😉 )
Ah…we're all the same, huh? When I read the opening lines, my face went flush with guilt, because I'd just then finished bragging about my kids to a colleague of mine, Becky did this, Becky did that…Awww, that's so sweet. True, kids teach us much more than we can imagine. To start of with – Patience. A hug for A Jr. for that sweet gesture and the million-dollar smile!
when you're Internet is down your mobile is down too or what ? hmmpf !
@G: Oh yes..he gets these bouts of displays of caring and concern…and those are such emotional moments…glad my Calvin is a complete package! 🙂
@RGB: We're all in the same boat dear…you'll never find a mother who'll not love bragging…it comes with the tag…and we're rightly entitled to it!! :)Kids are so innocent…they see through things…they're not confused like us…that's why its fun to learn from them :)Will give your hugs to A Jr…
@Nu: Arre…sach mein…all tech gadgets at my place are acting up…mere mobile ka keypad thik se nahi chal raha…can't type a message…cant even make calls at times…have to get it repaired 🙁 🙁
See A junior is so cute 🙂 and Hey even the senior one is not that bad 😉

That sounds like a quintessential family! Nazar na lage! 🙂 Enjoy! the best period in a child's life vis-a-vis mothers is up to three years!
Hey Varsha, you appear not to have updated my site. I have posted thrice more after that one displayed on yours! Would love your comment on the latest. 🙂
beautifulanyone can teach us including kids
aww aww aww..I would be laying there in a pool of tears if something like that happened to me..I can so understand what you wrote..And A jr..you are the best.. loads of hugs to you sweetheart 🙂
@Nu: Oh dear…isn't it that element of cuteness in A that makes A Jr so cute??? 😉 :PHonestly…both of them are awesome!! Touchwood! 😀
@Celly: Oh yaaa….I felt like I was on top of the world….I couldn't stop hugging and kissing A Jr over and over again and he didn't seem to mind it a bit! It was very cute 🙂
@rohini: How true…its the innocence in kids that makes them see through things na…we complicate them so much…I read your post dear…it was very sweet…Neil is such a lovely boy!! Am sure you must be having a blast with him!! 🙂
@PB: Haha…isn't it strange that when you look at others you call them crazy, but when you step in their shoes you don't mind being one? 😛
@Swaram: Yaaaa….he throws such surprises at me and makes me go Awwww myself 😀 😀
@zephyr: Wow…thanks for such a big compliment!:)I so agree with you…people keep telling me to make the most of these years 'se they fly away too quickly..and I hate to admit but I too feel sometimes that A Jr is growing a bit too fast :(I'm so sorry…I haven't been able to catch up with you…didn't update your site…didn't read your blog…and replied so late. My laptop is spoilt, so it gets tough to come online now. Hope it gets fixed soon!
@sm: True…kids can be the best teachers…they just do their stuff and we know they're doing right what we don't! Welcome here 🙂
@Comfy: Seriously…I was short of words…didn't know what to do…A stood at a distance relishing the deepness of that moment…I silently thanked him with my eyes…and A Jr looked over…God that moment was simply undescribable! I couldn't thank God enough for giving me so much…a loving husband and an angelic kid! *Sob sob sob*
How cute! 🙂
@Chandrika: Thanks 🙂
