School days-the treasure for the lifetime. How do you feel when you get to enjoy the time again?
Memories of my initial days in school are faint, life has become so busy and fast that few things are forgotten. I still remember all my friends and teachers in secondary school but primary school's are dim in a corner of my brain.
Thanks to my daughter for helping me regain all those sweet memories. It took all my patience to take her off bed and then wake her up. She need some time in my lap and then she prefers to have bird's view, her best toy etc. before going to the bathroom. Chirping birds take all her dizziness and then she is all set to take a bath.
A thought comes daily in my mind- How my Mumma used to do all this? I have only one kid even then sometimes I am all baffled but she had four. Convincing her to wear the dress I have choesen for her is another tedious task. My two and a half years old daughter is having better dressing sense than the icons in the Fashion World. "Mumma, I won't wear Jeans, I want my stockings and frock."
I have to bear all her tantrums and this raise patience in me. :)
Then it is time for breakfast- O God!! Now she wants to talk, dance, tell me a story or hell anything but she doesn't want to eat. I have to run behind her, take her attention to soemthing else so that I can put the spoon inside her mouth by trick. She eats at her own speed as she don't know the pace of the world.
Giving her in hands of teacher is really a hard moment. I know its important and it is for her good only but still a strange feeling of insecurity and fear surrounds me.
Saying good bye to her, sometime happily sometime leaving her crying in her teacher's lap I quietely hide behind and then see from the window of classroom to ensure that she is not crying. Taking her after her off to home is the best part when she comes out with all the smiling face and new stories in her mind.
During all these moments, I miss you mumma and I remember and imagine how you must have sent me to school.
Kids' innocent face just remove all the tension of the adult's world. No matter how is my mood but a sweet smile on her face bring a one to mine. That smile is so contagious and natural that it melts all hearts.
