Lil Bundle of Joy !

This is my first post in 2014 , and I thought I will write about how a tiny lil one changed our lives at home since 2012. Being someone who has always liked kids but had  never carried a kid properly or taken care of one till I was 20 years (I guess that’s why when many of my friends cribbed that crying kids are annoying I always defended the kids :P). My baby nephew was my first live hands on experience  in handling a kid. What I didn't know was how he would change the lives of my parents, me and obviously his parents ( because at one point our mornings were his nights and vice versa)  . Before I delve deep into changes that Arya ( that’s my nephew’s name) brought into our life, I want my readers to just think of a small kid in your life whom you love so much and changed your days for at least some time J it could be a nephew, niece, baby sister or brother.

I definitely felt old when all my loving uncles and aunts  had derived such sadistic happiness from telling me that ’You are an aunt now’ (Like I didn't know!*sigh* I guess that’s their way of getting back at you for making them feel old when you were born :P then I must have loved it :P) .After that I was fascinated by Arya’s puny self , his diminutive fingers and limbs trust me I was so scared to carry him all I would do was just keep looking at him ,I think that’s my way of reacting to the tiniest sprout of human life up close. He grew up fast and since then he has grown to be a ball of energy bubbling with happiness and tears at the drop of a hat.

That's Arya! He is giving me the Look !*notice that raised eyebrow*

He made me go through two very fulfilling experiences that made me realize that my emotional side is not really dormant. One was him sleeping off on my shoulder and while I walked around the house tapping him to sleep. He cried incessantly for his mother but as she had gone out, I was playing with him, distracting him and  finally he got tired and crawled up to me and he just slept off in my arms.His soft body with his tiny hands around my neck just sleeping peacefully was a small act for him but it was such a joyful moment for me. Then, the second one was him sitting on my lap and we eating together, dissecting the food to the tiniest munch able bit for him and the happiness in watching him eat it .These are trivial day to day events for people with kids all around but for someone who is with a  kid for the first time these are embodiment's of trust, life, emotion, love  and care. My sister is still in awe at my  bigheartedness towards giving him all that he asks for, while I wouldn't even consider it if my sister asks for the same thing!:P. And he is definitely getting all my ominous privileges I used to enjoy being the younger one *my parents seem to have just upgraded me to a higher level of responsibility and its plain bad!*.

And he even becomes a mini walking alarm clock who does not enjoy the sight of me sleeping and devises new methods to wake me up like scratching, horse riding on me, pulling my hair and the best is him climbing on me and sitting like he’s just conquered the Mount Everest! *oops I forgot to mention the happiness my sister derives from watching me getting woken up!*

Right from the day he was born to this day, he is the special one in my house and in all our hearts. The way we animate ourselves and sing rhymes to his wish to put him to sleep *yeah he just lies in the bed like a majestic king giving us cues to change the rhyme when he gets bored!* or piggybacking him all of it are special moments  which I will cherish always .My nephew is quite the charmer you know, he knows to get his way with everyone and if he sees a slight flash of displeasure in us for something that he did he just comes up to us and hugs and says “I luub yoo” what more is needed to melt our hearts!

So this is to all the tiny little bundles of joy in our lives who have changed us, made us experience a lot of emotions, made our day and given us tons of memories. We all have been those little ones some time ago and made everyone around us feel the same. So let’s just enjoy the feeling and those who have such experiences do share and let me know what you feel J.

Till my next post keep smiling and shower all the love on your tiny ones and enjoy every moment of it coz soon they’ll grow up and you’ll wish they were babies again J.
