All in the Plan
On most mornings, when I
leave for work, my son would still be sleeping soundly.
How I wish I could just snuggle in with him and shut the
world out! But you can't have everything in life the way
you want it to be…
My son calls me at work
everyday to rumble about random things…about his new
creation from his Lego® play set or how his Hot Wheels®
car flew and sped like the wind or how his Ferrari car
crashed into the dumps! So much energy! And how he has
grown…into fine six-year-old. Behind the cute
boyishness, he belies an astute understanding of things
and empathy beyond his age.
Looking back, I still
remember how he used to cuddle into bed with us claiming
that he was afraid of the dark…and how later, years
later, he proudly told us one night that it was all part
of his plan to sleep with us…hehe! But who can get angry
with the little tyke, who looks exactly like me!
But on Saturdays and
Sundays, when we sleep in, I still wake up to a small hand
twirling a lock of my hair. And when I open my eyes, I'll
be greeted with a megawatt smile, "Is it morning yet,
mummy?" Sigh…how I wish everyday is a weekend!
Time doesn't stand still…I
will look back on this period of my life with great
fondness. I love my baby boy to bits from the moment he
was born… This year, on Mother's Day, I will definitely
wake up with his hand in my hair. And, despite the fact
that the reality of motherhood seldom matches the
expectation, I am well aware that I've been truly blessed.
Here's wishing all mums
and mums-to-be a Happy Mummy's Day from all of us at
Motherhood magazine!
