Lil' Boys Shouldn't Be Sent To Bed Early, They'll Always Wake Up A Day Older...

Do you ever felt on some days,
after a long day at work,
and when you've settled down and all,
having picked your lil' un from the babysitter,
you noticed that your baby seems to have grown sooo much,

intellectually and physically ?

His antics, the way he jokes and craves attention,
the way he talks to you....
its like,

Oh my!

Its as if as he's done a month's worth of growing up

in a mere 24hrs!

For now,

I felt sooo lost, in a good way that is!

Somehow,

I feel a tinge of regret,

for not being able to really 'watch' him grow

in the afternoon.

I cant turn back the blardee clock, can I?

Keerook & I

were in the kitchen the other evening,

when

Lil' Mika

came in, pointing to the large kropok filled container and said,

"Nakkkkk...... Nakkkk Popo...."

Gave him a piece, and he walked back to the living room,

sat on his mattress in front of the teevee.

Like a big boy,

precociously glued to the goggle box,

with sheer concentration on whatever's unfolding....

He looked so unbelievably grown-up in that moment

Not dat its a bad thing,

but.... but...

Hats off to weekend parents

[whether by choice or circumstance....]

For I noe, it's something we can never be!
