Gianna is a toddler now. I still remember when I used to sing my self-made lullabies to soothe her in my lap. But now, she doesn’t even sit for five minutes in my lap. She just wants to run and run all over the house. She has become more playful now. She runs fast to her “papa-jii” whenever she doesn’t want me to cuddle her tight. And I love chasing her.
The day passes by keeping up with her. She keeps herself and me busy with her shoes, her dresses, her toys, her utensils, her toothbrush, her books, her wagon car, her favorite finger foods, her youtube videos, her combs…the list goes on and on.
If we go out for shopping, no kids shop remains un-browsed. Despite of having so much stuff, we still can’t resist buying whatever that looks appropriate for her collection. Plus, there are so many things for girls in the market that it becomes really difficult to refrain from buying.
Shobhit makes silly faces for her and sings songs with meaningless lyrics that sound funny to her ears...and she smiles, giggles, and laughs, and then we laugh.
I believe that parents never get tired of silently admiring their kids, be it anything. Even a scribble on a piece of paper or filling up her scattered toys back in her store box, or wiping spilled water on floor, recognizing animals in her book…as a mother I just love praising her for everything.
Believe that’s how we encourage our kid and make her build confidence.
