My baby lion turned four years old a couple days back. Not a huge milestone in general but if you ask a mom why each year of growth appears extra special than the one before here's what you will find. A year is not just made up of hours, days or months. It's made of up more laughter, more hugs, new words, new gestures and new adventures amidst some new turmoils too. Given how time flies and kids fly their nest, each year at home with a child is truly a gift of companionship.
I asked my boy what he wanted for a cake. I truly expected him to say "don't know" like the year before. It was a pleasant surprise when he came back with "dinosaurs, please"! He now knows what he wants in life! He is capable of making decisions and is showing an inkling of preference of one thing over another. He is developing his own individuality and personality. That in itself is incredible. Soon the time will come when he will no longer need me to help him along and he will be his own human being: hopefully a strong and confident one at that.
As I was saying, time is a funny thing. It never differentiates between rich or poor, young or old, black or white. Yet it feels that time takes longer to traverse when we are sad and time travels in a flash during our happy moments. Since we cannot do away with either in life, we need to cherish the good times and know that the bad times will soon be over. Life is short and we have so much to do and so far to go. Let's not waste any time pondering any more and go out and have the DINO-mite time of our lives by celebrating our family, friends, occasions and everything worth rejoicing about.
