The Men In My Life - and the Precious Moments


It has been written in the stars that Scorpio is one of the soul mates of Cancer.. Well perhaps it is cuz of the stars, but perhaps it is also cuz of the efforts that Daddy has put in for Baby En since birth, even now, Daddy is the one who will bath Baby En since preggie mummy has given up lifting and carrying chubby En.

The 2 men are qute inseparable, and En just loves his dad to bits. And the weekly Kindmusik class now further strenghtened the bonding between the 2 of them, as dad spends an hour of quality time playing and learning with Baby En..

Sometimes it makes me wonder about my role as a mum... Perhaps its the stars, (the cerebrel air signs generally dun mess with the water signs), perhaps its cuz I am preggie with Baby Xuan, which makes keeping up with baby En's activities quite challenging sometimes.. after all the most exciting thing i can do with him is reading to him in funny voices.. duh, so exciting..

The first time I saw En giggling while whirling around in his Kindermusik class in the arms of his dad, I had to look away.. cuz of the tears pricking my eyes.. everytime I see the 2 men having such fun and special times on their own, i feel very touched.. it is much like watching a very finely executed movie that makes one feel a tad breathless, and I am privileged to be the audience of it...

Such moments should be captured, and always remembered - This joy that we have with our little babies, and the special tenderness we feel for them.. Years later, if and when we are faced with a rebellious punk, a defiant rebel or a recalcitrant mischief maker, and when we exchange heated words of anger and hurt, I want to be able to look back on such moments and remember the strong bond that we have built and shared. And to be able to see and remember the little innocent and wonderful baby...

Many Kudos to En's daddy, for being involved, committed and just always being there for En and us.. Parenting is really hard work, but it would have been harder without the equally strong commitment, time and devotion from the dad..
