Seperation Anxiety

Every minute that I am away from you, all I keep thinking is what are you doing. I keep wondering if you are eating properly and sleeping comfortably. Do you miss me when I am not around and wait for me to get back home? What new games do you play and what new actions have you learnt? Will I miss the first time you will crawl or you walk. I feel so sad that I am not around and hope that someday you will understand why I am gone for soo long…

My little boy recognizes the fact that mommy leaves him and goes off some place in the day... the moment I get back he cries out in happiness, wants me to pick him and hug him...he gets a little cranky and annoyed when I get late in the evenings.. I believe he misses me and this gets really tough for me. His joy on seeing me in the evening is immense. The minute I step in, there is instant recognition on his face, and he pulls out his hands for me to pick him up. His happiness and smile is so innocent and so full of joy at seeing me that it melts my heart beyond words.


The hours that I am away from him, are so difficult to pass, I keep checking out his photo’s and little video recordings in my cell. I talk about him like a proud mom discussing his activities and little achievements. When I think of the little things he does, I smile inherently and miss him all the more.


When I am not around, he hardly sleeps a wink. But in my arms he sleeps snuggly and comfortably. When I sing to him, he smiles sweetly at me and gets a little drowsy. I hold him tight and kiss him on his head; he sleeps content with a smile on his face.


This separation is tough for both of us, but that’s a part of growing up and eventually I believe he will understand all. I love you baby!

Time Passes Sooo Soon...

I am the mommy of a little naughty 6 month baby boy who is full of excitement and enthusiasm at all times with lots of naughtiness in his eyes...


He has reached a stage where he has started recognizing us and enjoys playing little games with us. He has started all his antics and clowning around. He manages to teach us so many new things everyday and makes us appreciate those smaller things which we had forgotten existed.

He loves catching his shadow and a game of reflections on the wall thrills him. On morning walks, birds pecking seeds in the garden fascinate him and when they fly off the swirling of their wings excite him.

A little hide and seek with the blanket is such a fun filled activity with lots of noise and laughter…He speaks in his own language and tries holding conversations with us which are nothing but lots of sound and screams. The way he blinks his eyes when he looks at the sun, the little ride on the merry-go-rounds that thrill him, the laughter when he slides down the slide…all these little things tell me how innocent he is and remind me of the little pleasures of life that I had forgotten…The way we wrinkles his nose when I tickle his skin with soft flowers…the reflection in the mirror that fascinates him..the sounds of the kitchen that scare him..the mindless splashing around in a tub that he enjoys..the way he tries to hold on flowing water reflects his innocence.

No wonder with him, even I become a child!!!
