In search of silliness...

The everyday experience in the perspective of kids is much more bigger than we actually imagine. Every object they see & every incident they relate shows how they still try to understand their tiny world. Kavya & Oviya needed more & more exposure to the outside world. We like to take them out just to see the curiosity in their eyes, awestruck reaction in their faces & the exciting smile in their lips. Regardless of tiny bug digging a hole to enormous aeroplane flying in the sky, everything catches their attention. When they see an empty road, they run without boundaries. If we watch them closely, we realize that their silliness teaches us important things we were forgetting in life. All these days,

I didn't know what was inside a drainage hole until both of them showed me.

I didn't watch the birds fly (with the same excitement every time) until they disappeared from the sight.

I didn't roll with laughter for petty things.

I didn't even care about the shadows that follow me.

I didn't feel contented with having just one cookie.

Now the details of life are clearly visible when I experience all of these by becoming one among them . There's no fake smiles or fake hugs & there's only genuine love to get drenched in :-)

                 

It was also Kavya & Oviya's time for the summer haircut & of course it was their first haircut :-). When we took them to a nearby parlour, both were tactically escaping the scene by going to the restroom alternatively :-). With all the tears, the haircut was done finally within few minutes. They still describe their first haircut ( they seem to remember incidents) as if something tragic has happened to them :-P. 

                 

Then, we took a right trip at the right time to the nearby Carnegie Science Center. We were amazed to see how the little brains were engaged in various activities. 

Both had fun with experimenting with water inside various shaped containers, building the giant blocks, brushing the giant teeth, watching a miniature village, feeding the ducks (Kavya was upset about the duck's teeny tiny bite of her finger along with the chips... Oops!!) etc. This was a place with lots & lots of activities, which they never got bored of. Meanwhile, I was doing something too.  Both were watching their mom hanging in 'zero gravity' like an astronaut ( well, not exactly )... hee hee!! Now, that's what I was talking about - becoming kid-like :-D :-P.

                 

It's sometimes hard to cope up with the rapid speed they grow. Kids surprise us by letting us know, 'Hey, we're capable of much more!'. It becomes challenging to feed their brains as they grow up. 

The only way to read our child is not through books, not through other people's advises, it's only through walking closely with their path of life!
