Raj and I went out for a little bit, while Suhaana was being watched by grandmas ( my mom and her two sisters). When we came back, Suhaana and her grandmas were sitting outside in the front lawn. (We live in a townhome where our upstairs room balcony opens facing the front lawn. Also our next door neighbor has a similar -though not the same- floorplan. Their upstairs balcony opens into their front lawn that's right next to ours'.
When we came back from outdoors, I came and gave my doll a big sloppy kiss and hug. Then ran upstairs to freshen up. Then, I opened my balcony window to wave and blow air kisses at her from the second floor. She kept looking.. Smiling just a little bit, but mainly just looking. I was just running back downstairs, when I remembered I had to put clothes in the dryer. I wrapped that up, then came downstairs.
My mom was reporting later, that my doll was watching me from downstairs. Once I closed the balcony door, she started looking at the nearby balcony door on the other side (our neighbors') for a long time. Expecting I'll be playing peekaboo coming from the other side, next time. She kept looking and looking for me to come out from the other door for a long while.
My mom told me this at night, at it was just so heart melting! Can't believe I was busy putting laundry at that time.. But its just so sweet..
Also makes me feel how very fragile kids are. Not just physically, but in their tiny, little hopes and expectations. And daunting to think how easy it is to affect them without ever even realizing it.
