Happy Children's Day Little Ones :-)

Capturing Innocence!!!

Innocence, the word itself looks beautiful when I think of you My dear.
It started before your birth. When We used to tell 'Wake up Chikku', the response you gave through kicks, oh the real joy!!!
As a three KG bundle of joy, When i holded you, I perceived the first purest smile in the world.
The innocence went on..
When you started moving on your tummy.
When you got your first fever and wanted my presence.
When you started standing on your own.
When you smiled with your first teeth.
When you said the first word 'Light'.
When you said the first sentence 'we will drink milk'.
when you asked your first question 'Why don't we make biriyani with all these hens?'
And still going on..
The joy i see in your face when I return back from work.
The joy that you give me when I get a new book for you.
When you tell the rhyme 'Kiwi black fdhuit' ( Your version of 'three bags full' in Baa Baa Black sheep)
When you combine three rhymes together, and make your own version of rhymes.
When you want to wear my clothes.
When you ask me to show pink color cow..
When you ask me to make 'Spicy Apple Curry'.
When you tell me to give bath to your 'Thidhi'( Teddy )
When you tell me 'Go thoo aapithe' ( Go to office ).
Innocence is the only feel that I have captured in our Mother-Daughter journey.

sometimes I have expected you to be a matured girl according to my needs.
Many times I wanted you to be a naughty toddler.
You have always got confused, because of my controversial expectations,
But even in confusion you have given me a big smile.
You have been my great teacher when it comes to parenting.
Love you A lot

Happy International Children's day to all the Children in the world.
You People are really wonderful!!!
Without You there is no life for this World itself!!!
Please be more naughty and innocent, to make us happy!!!
Enjoy your Childhood.

Love,
Vaanadhi
