The Greatest Joy
What is the greatest joy for a mummy?
For me personally, it's not knowing the technique in feeding my baby, or bathing her, or even calming her down. It's knowing that Joey can recognise that I am her mummy.
It's so heartwarming when joey can be just looking around one moment and the next moment, she caught sight of me and then broke into a grin. Of course she's now at the stage where she will smile at anyone who tries to smile or do funny actions at her. But when she's looking at me, she will make a sound that sounds vaguely like 'urrhh'.. then her eyes will smile and sparkle before she will grin. Don't believe me, you can ask Isaiah. He's pretty jealous of me, you know? haha..
And when she gets her eyes on me, her eyes follow me wherever I go... and you know that sometimes she's just staring at you trying to take in all your features, (maybe I am just a tad too sensitive) her eyes look like she's saying, 'you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.'.. wahahaha... ok, go ahead & puke in disbelief.
Recently, I have been playing this little game with joey. When she wants to be naughty and is fidgeting and about to cry, I will imitate her every expression and sound. She finds it very amusing. When she sees me doing that, she will make one sound and wait to see if I will follow her. Then she does it again. And again. Then she will smile as if she finds it so fun. And it's obvious she's faking her cries because she will make one sound, with her eyes wide open to observe me, then make proceed to make another sound and observe with amusement again. It's so funny, you know!
Sometimes I would pretend to be angry and scold her for not finishing her milk or refusing to sleep. But I think she finds me so amusing that she will smile back at me instead! Or maybe she just knows that mummy would not bear to scold her anymore if she smiles. sigh..
It's really amazing because at only 2 months' old, she already has such a realisation of what's going on around her. And before she even knows how to call mummy, she already knows how to get her way by pouting and crying. God's creation is just so so amazing.
Finally, after 2 months of endless cycles of milk-feeding and diaper-changing, joey now knows I am her mummy. *smiles sillily to myself*
