Kids are amazing. Its all the more interesting to watch them. I have a daughter of 2 years and 5 months and a son for 4 months. It amazes me how wonderful and amazing the human brain development is. My son can recognize voices and is able to demand for attention at 4 months. To see what he is perhaps going to be like 2 years down the line, i just need to take a look at my daughter. She has a wonderful capacity to remember people, a great sense of direction and very imaginative these days. These are just some of the aspects that stand out in her ( for a two plus kid).
I wonder many a times what an irony it is that a great creation that starts out so-near-perfect, progressively deteriorates. And then one day we turn around and say "Hey! i need to get to perfection" and head back all the way to how it all started!!!
Babies have so little needs, are happy most of the time and are not very hard to please. A new born has no negative feelings- no jealousy, no enmity, no food cravings;).......Most of the times, you will find that if the you smile at the baby, she will smile back at you. How many times are we able to return smiles? For a good portion of our lives, we keep wondering what we need to do to get the smile on our lips. Perhaps if we stop to figure out how to smile from our heart, the smile could last longer.
If I stop to actually watch my kids closely, I learn a lot from them. As an adult/parent i "teach" my kids to face the world. An interesting circle of life...who's the teacher?
