Morning

Today, early mmorning, I spent some time watching both kids asleep. The looked so serene. Couldn't take my eyes off them.  Its such a wonderful feeling. To realise that we mean so much to them. The pleading look in Aadu's eyes when she wants me to feed her to sleep, the silent tear that rolls down her cheek. The feeling of satisfaction when they sleep cosy against my bosom is uncomparable. Nothing gives so much pleasure. When Ishu silently comes to me n burries his head in my lap when he falls down while running. Aadu trying to climb up n up on me. Sleepy Ishu when we take him to toilet at night. The kisses I get from him when he finds me sad. Those beautiful infectious smiles n giggles. Aadu, trying to wave her rattle. Ishu worried about his car n bus when the batteries are dead. To watch Ishu n Aadu playing peek-a-boo behind the sofa.   It feels so good to be loved, unconditionally. Maybe that's why God makes us parents.  We must have done some good for which God has blessed us with such beautiful n loving kids.

Siblings....

Siblings are so sililar, yet so different. At every moment we as parents can identify similarities and dissimilarities instantly. Its so because we have afirst born for comparison all the time. Maybe its little harsh on the newer second born. But we have tried, consciously, not to do any comparisons. We fail many times but we are trying. Aadu is 6 months old. Still not able to sit without support for long, but already trying to crawl. No matter how experienced I might be because I already have Ishu, still, I marvel at her efforts and love to see her play. She as much a delight as Ishu had been. She makes me feel complete. I still thank god for blessing us with a son and a daughter. I so much look forward to parenting them both. Its a feast for our eyes to see Ishu n Aadu interact with each other. They are all over each other, cooing, babbling, talking, pulling, tugging, kissing, hugging and loving each other so fondly. All anger, tensionand stress melts away on seeing them together.  Its such a woderful experience. To be parents. It makes us so hopeful of future. Everthing seems so bright n happy.  We are blessed. God, please take care of my babies all their life. Thank u.
