It started with lot of chaos on an unusually busy day but later proved otherwise, when I look back how we planned and went about celebrating Levin’s birthday . He managed to convince me to include all his elderly neighborhood friends along with 10 other friends in and around our house whom he spent his evenings playing with. He handled them with ease and made them absolutely comfortable and even made some amendments by allowing them to proudly display his collection of books and toys.
He amazed us with an unusual calmness and sharing attitude which were always a concern for us as parents. We were feeling proud when he was accepting the gifts with a grace and thank you smile and passing on to his Uncle with patience for keeping them safe. Our daughter Liana too made sure her presence felt with her chirpy sound and charming smiles without least of any reservations in the presence of new faces around.
It was a great evening with all our family members presence and made us proud of him when he was giving attention to all the needs . Even before I asked him to distribute the gifts, he went around giving the gifts followed by an instruction -"Open it only once you reach back your home"
What had prompted me to pen these thoughts in here is the fact that how amazing these kids are nowadays. They are able to demonstrate the needs and understanding of the priorities of a situation and are willing to adapt so quickly without no complains, which i myself had failed to do many a times.
I learned lot from my son that day. He actually itched stimulation to my wisdom. The gamut of activities and experiences he had demonstrated on that day made me feel the importance of connections we make everyday.
