Riflessione

This happened last friday morning, Aug 5. I got up early from bed to do my morning routine but was’nt feeling really well . . .  maybe because of lack of sleep from the past nights, my husband and I share the same curse . . . can’t sleep, not until past midnight! Take note of my dark eyebags! ewww!!! well, . . .  before my husband went off for work . . . i tried to lay down again in bed, just then my two-yr-old Nathan came up to me and asked, "Are you ok, Mama?", while feeling my forehead, (as if he could tell whether I have a fever or something). Of course I answered, "I’m fine baby, I’m just sleepy." Guess what he did next . . . he shut the windows, (we have sliding windows) and yes he can already reach it, pulled down the curtains to make the room dimmer, shut the bathroom door and turned on the fan. Then he went up to me, gave me pillows, kissed me and said "Sleep Mama, sleep." "Don’t come out." and then he went out and shut the door. Of course I didn’t really fell asleep, I just let the moment pass by because I knew, it would not take long before he would come up to me again and ask for food or play with him. And I was right!

He did exactly the same things I am doing everytime I tucked him to bed. And not just that, the best part is, I can already see the growing emotional intelligence in him. WOW! isn’t that great? and he’s only turning 3!

MY GOD, THAT MOMENT WAS AMAZING!!! And everytime I observe some positive signs of growing from him, I know I did the right thing, every sacrifices . . . its all worth it.
