My two and a half year old boy pleasantly surprised me with his emotional part. During all these months of his steady mental growth, I have realised that he acts emotional on a few aspects. He never left home without asking the mother to accompany him to lovingly lays silent on her side while she is asleep and he is awake at even midnight. I have noticed him at nights when he suddenly awake to realise that the mother is sleeping the other side and he rush to her arms and throw himself over her peacefully. I have seen him getting comfortable with mere a touch from the mother while he is in deep sleep.
There are many such circumstances when I found him being emotional but I also realised that all kids are emotional to their mothers. There is an animation that he used to enjoy and kept on watching when he was hardly an year old. In the mid of that animation, a mother just appears in the stars and then put her baby to sleep and disappear. Somehow he learned the exact timing and scene when the mother has to appear in the video and he used to hug his mother a moment before with a smile loving enough and whisper “mum mum”.
Recently what got my attention is a song he forced his mother to play on TV and a moments later he was sobbing and crying his heart out. I could feel his pain in his eyes. He just hugged his mother and kept crying. She has to take him away and indulge in some fun and he took more than 15 minutes to be calm. I came to know that there is a song again where a sudden storm throw away the nest of a sparrow in which she is living with her little ones. He realised this pain and every time the song plays he used to cry. Moreover he forced his mother to play that song and then start crying watching the scenes again. I told him to watch the song till end as it has an happy ending but I didn’t force him to see as he is always sobbing watching the song.
First I realised that he has a soft heart. Later I thought that a kid of his age can understand that much of pain. I wonder so many things a kid is born with including such emotional orientation. I also relieved that my kid has moral human values inherited to him and it is up to him to practice them in good ways. World is full of life and joy only if human remains human.
