He is blooming everyday....like a flower opening its petals right before my eyes. With each day he becomes more perceptive, more intelligent and more hungry to learn . For a child , who is not even 3 years old, he has an amazing vocabulary, speaks in complete sentences and can suck your brains out with his unending queries!! I know, all of you are patronizingly smiling at me and thinking 'another doting mom' and I would've agreed with you and smiled sheepishly...... had it not been for the elders around me (who have already seen numerous other kids grow in the family ) and who stare agape at Kavin when he speaks. They are stunned and awed at his sharpness, grasping power and IQ level (definitely not my contribution). He knows that 'eddison uncle' created electricity, he knows 'Bell uncle' created the telephone, he knows his alphabets (A-Z), his nursery rhymes ( more than 20), he knows all shapes (square, diamond, rectangle, semi-circle etc etc) and sizes and more than anything else he knows how to get away with anything just by flashing his buck-tooth smile!! Total charmer !!!
When I get tired of attacking him with my kisses (which is never!), I take time out to wonder about the miracle of life. This lil boy.....with such tiny hands and tiny feet....with such innocent eyes and soulful smile....with an ego, double his size.....with an attitude that would put his favourite Jungle Book character, Sher Khan, to shame....is my creation (ofcourse with a lil help from Aby.....and... er.....God!). :) :) This lil boy......who clings to me like a monkey, who rushes to me with all his complaints.....who exitedly narrates to me his unending tales of everday adventure.....who looks in my eyes and says 'Maama I love you'.....who calls out my name in his sleep........and who touches my soul everytime , with every little act of his.....this lil boy is mine.
All this time while I have been gloating over the things that I have taught him , I have realised that its actually he who has been giving me the larger lessons of life. He has taught me to love and relish and live. Its because of him that I experience a myriad of emotions in a day ranging from happiness to excitement to concern to fear. I wonder if such oscillations of emotions are good for my ageing heart?
Oh, btw, did I brag about the fact that he can log in to his nana's computer, open & close the desired windows and access his Nursery Rhymes folder from the desktop? Eat that!! :) :)
