This week we were blessed with mild weather in spite of it being January. To make good use of the weather, I decided to take Suhaana and go for a walk in the park. I bundled her up in a sweater, mittens, socks, a cap and two layers of blankets and off we went with Suhaana in her stroller.
While I imagined Suhaana will be most intrigued by the trees, bushes, flowers, lake, ducks, dogs and other people, there was something else she was much more interested in: ME. The whole time, Suhaana didn't take her eyes off of me. Her eyes were glued to me. As if, in spite of the wintery wind, the dogs barking, the bumpy road and a blanket overload, she's still okay as long as I'm around.
And while I was wondering how much of my interpretation was grossly over-thought and inaccurate, as long as it suits me and she's not contradicting me, who's gonna stop me? There are many down sides to the fact that babies can't talk and tell us what they think or need, but there's still at least one positive: parents are allowed their own delusions!
Yes .... :)
