Hi Friends,
Hoe you guys are doing well.. I am well too, living life as it is making me live.. Going with the flow as they say.. Surprisingly the summers are really good this year in England hence just want to enjoy the few days of summer before it becomes dark and dingy and rainy again :P
Today is a very special post and yes! its again about my daughter :) as she's made me really proud.
The moment when your child makes you proud could come anytime in your life.. I guess for my parent's life it would have come when I topped in my 8th std exams or got 90% in my 10 std exams and so on. not really sure, but yeah I am sure I didn't do anything in my childhood days which would have made them proud of me.. hehehe :P I was quite a mischievous kid who did everything like getting lost with my friends in the jungle to beating up my lil brother to breaking things in the house.. hahaha
But as a parent that day has arrived for me really early.. My princess has made me proud when she's only two years old and I am going to tell you how :)
It was the weekend and we have a routine to take her to the outside play area, the garden, on weekends.. She just loves going on the swings, slides, roundabouts just like most of the other kids of her age. So last Saturday we took her to the garden and she was having a gaala time on the swings and the slides. Suddenly as she was walking from one place to another, she saw a kid crying loudly, whereas other kids weren't even disturbed, she stopped and looked at the kid, the kid then ran to his mother and Anaya kept watching it until the kid was happy again, and when she was assured that the kid is happy and safe, she carried on playing. I observed her from a distance and was happy to see her concerns for the crying kid. It made me smile in my head and I carried on playing with her again.
A little while later, that same kid was crying its lungs out but no-one was even having a look at her. It had been at least 10-15 minutes since we saw her crying again too but we couldn't do anything as you can't touch anybody else's baby in this country. Her mother was not even in sight and neither any of her other friends or relatives. She just carried on crying.
At the same time we took Anaya to a swing near to where the baby was crying. She was having quite a laugh as she enjoys the NEST swing very much. And then suddenly she saw the baby crying and she couldn't stop herself. She asked me to stop the swing saying,
"Mumma STOP STOP", I said "ok what happened??"
She said: "I wanna get down" I said "Ok" and brought her down.
She started moving towards the crying baby as there was still no one to take care, she turned back to me and said "Just a moment mumma" showing me her index finger and I said "Ok Bebo" as I decided to be a spectator to what's about to happen.
She walked upto the baby who was I think near about the same age or maybe a few months younger than her.
She started talking to the baby and asking her "What happened??" "Where's your mumma?"
The baby just became quiet as it got some attention.
Then Anaya saw a packet of crisps right next to the baby and realised that the baby might have dropped the packet and the crisps might have fallen off and that's what was making the baby cry.
So she picked up the packet of crisps, started putting the fallen off crisps back in the packet and when she was done she handed the packet back to the baby. The baby was quiet by now and I was surprised how my lil one has made a crying baby quiet. Then they started having a lil chit chat and I was a proud mum as I clicked a few pictures too.
And then suddenly the baby's lost mum arrived :P, she completely ignored Anaya, took her as she might be making her baby cry, she snatched the packet off her baby's hands, threw it in the dustbin, didn't utter a word to Anaya, took her baby's hand and rushed away... And my darling daughter turned back and came laughing back to her mumma as I clapped for her heroism. I was a proud mum!!
And there was a life lesson right there which she completely mastered, that the world might be ignorant, negligent or just jealous about you and your deeds but you have to keep doing the good work and not get affected by the Stupid people's attitude as there is always someone who is watching you and knows the real story.
I was so happy and proud that I kissed her praised her and also gave her a little gift on our way back. :). May her good side always wins and makes her do good deeds for the people :)
Thanks for reading me and my lil one's story, hope you have your proud mum/dad/brother/sister moments too :)
With that note dear friends, Cheerios!!!!
