My angelic sweet boy!

I am a proud mother! Ofcourse I scream, go crazy and drive them crazy as well, but I know how blessed I am to have these two wonderful babies. Maya has always been a very social outgoing personality and she would get along well with everyone. I have known her playing with kids who generally the other don’t play along, she is kind especially to them. I know a couple of kids with special needs in her after hours who would always be playing with her. Karthik is more shy and for a long time, infact his entire kindy, he loved playing alone and didn’t really mention any friend. He is in year 1 now and every day my usual question is, who did he have lunch with, who did he play with. He had a new kid in his class – a beautiful little girl who is a little on the chubby side. He has been saying for a few days that he has lunch with her and another lovely boy in his class. Couple of days ago when I picked him up and I asked him my usual question, he said he wasn’t angry, but he was just sad that the new friend didn’t let him play something he wanted to. He told me again that he wasn’t angry at all on her, but he was just upset. He said she said sorry and he said its fine. I loved this sweet gesture and I said it was good he wasn’t angry. Later that night, while I was putting him to bed, he kept struggling with some thought and said Ámma, I am having a bad word about this friend in my mind, it is so wrong’. I was so worried and he was literally struggling to keep his tears controlled and he kept saying he is having in his mind and cannot get it out. I was really worried and I asked if he told his bad word to his friend and he said no no, it is just in my mind, I want to get out of it. He kept telling me, I cannot even say that word. Maya asked him to say the starting letter and he said f. I was blank for a minute and then realised and asked him, if he thought of the word fat. He said yeah, that’s the word, I know it will hurt her feelings if I say that word, I am so sorry. I said its ok to have it in your mind, whats more important is that you realise it is wrong. Why don’t you think of a kind word instead. He thought and he said he came up with the word beautiful to tell to her. He was really relieved and looked so happy! I was melting and I don’t know if I would have been more proud if he achieved something in academics or anything else. He knew it was wrong to say something hurtful and he struggled to even have this thought in his mind. May you stay like this forever my sweet little boy, respecting women and being kind always. There is nothing more attractive about a man than one who is sensitive and kind! I wish to see this kindness and gentleness in you forever!
