His eyes lit up and he throws his arms and legs in excitement everytime I walk past him, and I almost always have a moment or two to spare, and break into little jig to entertain his highness. This little 4 months old absolutely loves dancing, music and people. And did what no one else could do before..brought out a dancer in me.
When I go to park these days, same one I have been going from last 5 years, I am able to appreciate the beauty which I somehow never saw before. May be because now less processes run in my mind at any given point of time. Multitasking has never been my forte.
When my kindergartner comes home in the afternoon, I have time to listen to him and join his excitement. Then, We play together, somedays it is hopscotch, somedays it's jump rope and sometimes he sits in my lap and we watch cartoons. "Caillou" and "Sid the science kid" are our favorites by the way.
In the evening, I always have energy and enthusiasm to join my boys in park or meet neighborhood friends. Mostdays, we two adults in home have deep and long philosophical conversations and I have patience for that. In fact i look forward to that..I also discovered something new, even if I live in America, home feels good, if vacuumed and cleaned everyday..hehehe..
Of course, this is story of most days. Some days are total opposite..when I harass the boys for no reason *evil grin* but those days getting rare and rare!
Yeah, I quit my job last month when my maternity leave was over and totally loving it. It was a very easy decision for both of us, one with no second thoughts. But interestingly, It is evoking reactions in PEOPLE. Some disapprove and their eyes suggests it was an hasty act. I live in a place with excellent child care facilities, had work from home option and was getting decent salary. I don't offer any explanation, just smile politely. Some think, I am "sacrificing" my career for my kids. I don't join them either. I don't believe in sacrifices. Because if one is not happy from within, he/she cannot spread the happiness. Anyways, I don't think I can explain my reason in words so instead of trying to document..may be will just live it :)
On unrelated note, blogging on iPad sucks..I miss my office MacBook :\
All four of us on one lazy evening:
