Happy Face :)

Everyday, as we run harder and harder, we miss out or even forget, some of the nicest gestures in life. We may not feel their impact, but it certainly does make a difference.

After I had my second child, my life got so hectic and I was literally walking around like a time bomb, who might explode anytime, for anything. I smiled lesser and lesser. My anxiety grew, day after day. I was quick at losing temper, even to my beloved little ones. But, one little incident, that I have narrated below, gave me a hard blow and woke me up from, spirit deprived sleep.

One fine day, during school holidays, as my son was having his lunch, I sat next to him and tried feeding baby, her usual baby food. It was the weaning stage for my baby and it was the toughest phase too. As I was feeding her, I pretended to cry and grab her attention. My son, watched my tantrums. I kept pretending, a couple of times. After losing his patience, my son said,

“Mom, why do you want to cry like that”

“I am just trying to feed baby, by doing something funny”

“But, that's not funny! Why do you cry?”

“I am not actually crying, son. I am just pretending”

“Don't do that”

“Why?”

“I don't like to see you cry. I always want to see you happy. I only like your happy face”

“What?”

“Ya! I only like happy face. I want to see you happy always. Not like crying. I don't like it, when you are cross or crying. I only like, happy face”

“!!!”

I couldn't speak a word more, after that. He is just 4 years old. But, his words are too big to sink in. I then realised, how beautiful his heart and how prettier his expectations are. Seriously, an adorable kid! He told me the words, that I am supposed to tell him. From then on, I am trying to stay calm, get enough rest and never lose my mind for anything and everything. As my little one wanted, I am putting up an happy face and honestly that spreads the joy, all around me. Thank you, my baby!!!
