Mikhail, My Heart, My Soul....

I remembered on one occasion....

as Keerook rocked

in his arms,

he made a passing remark,

"Gone are the days when Mika's as quiet as this!"

I turned and look at Mika,

who was busy in his own world.

Doing God-knows-how-many-laps-already rounds of shuttle runs in the house,

and

From climbing the sub-woofer, just to touch the table lamp on the teevee console,

to

climbing the chair just to sit on the dining table, to 'see what goodies he can chew"

even when he knows he's not supposed to do it.

Told Mika, "you were once this small...

Tiny fingers, tiny feet..... and all, y'know!"

Mika hates it now, whenever I rocked him like a baby!

Right hand on his head, left hand on his butt,

Swaying Right to Left, eft To Right....

He'll giggle for a second or two, at most,

then demanded to be put down!

It was easier before....

As if he doesnt care how you held him,

so long he's in your arms!

Even back then,

he doesn't conquer the whole bed

when he sleeps at nite!

Now,

he even pushes me to the edge,

I almost fell!

*sigh*

How time flies so fast....

I know... I know.....

I can bitch, I can whine,

till the cows come home....

But I can't turn back the blardee clock.

But what I can do is,

Appreciate all I've got,

enjoy all I want,

make fullest use of whatever time I have

with Mika now.

Coz,

if I dont do it now,

before I know it,

I'll be busy running around, buying his

stationaries, books & school uniforms!

Tsk!

And like Keerook said,

"I dun mind Mika being hyperactive.

At least I know he's healthy, responsive, active & strong....

I'll get worried if he just sits down and not move around."

Donch U think so too?
