Happy 4th Birthday Cookie Boy!!!
Akshar is celebrating his 4th
birthday today. I can’t believe this little one is a Pre-Ker now. Where did the
last 4 precious years go and feel the clock is ticking too fast? I am one of
those greedy mommies who wish for an extra 5 minutes at the end of each day to
spend more time with their little ones. I still remember his first cry after
taking him out of my womb. And then his big eyes made me fell in love with him
instantaneously. I had a rough pregnancy because of a prior loss. As a result,
every day was a challenge in that 9 months. To add it up, Akshar’s dad
traveled for his job out of town every week and my dad has been diagnosed with
Multiple Myeloma in my first trimester. In those days it will be surprising for
me if I don’t experience a panic attack frequently. All these masked my
personality in a way throughout the pregnancy.
But this little one’s entry did
bring lot of joyous moods and changes in our lives. Akshar helped me in looking
the world through his innocent eyes, enjoy each and every milestone and laugh
at not so humorous cases. He lightened all
our hearts with his wittiness. He knows when to throw his tantrum or when to
massage us with his hilarious acts if the situations are not favorable or seems
incorrect.
Few days back I had a bad day and
this is clearly visible in my face. My cheer leader noted this and approached
me in a soothing manner. First, he yells with a commanded tone “AMMA” to grab
my attention and then he starts throwing air kisses, followed by funny sounds
and faces. Lastly, I have to give up my miserable look and start chuckling at
this little clown. To conclude he ends the performance saying “FUNNY
AMMA”. Seriously, he has been my sole survivor
in many instances. Not sure how much he knows about his little brother’s
arrival on the day of Saharsh’s birth, but right before he left to the day care
that early morning, he smiled and gave me a big hi-five in the pre- operating
room. Like any other patient I was under deep stress prepping for my surgery
and this little one’s act eased up my spirits.
On this birthday, I wish for this
boy’s happy and healthy life. Hope he enjoys each moment of his life with the
same zeal he is doing at this age.
