Today is a special day for me because I finally went for a much needed haircut after 3 months AND I was separated from Darius for about 4 hours!

Ha, it sounds funny writing this but it’s true that I’ve never been away from him for a long time already since three months ago when I did my hair or went for the talk in the church about the baptism.

After the hair session, I shopped a bit for clothes but came home without much purchases as there wasn’t much time, there was too many people on New Year’s Day and maybe… I DO miss him til I didn’t have the heart to shop much.

I called hubby twice and sms him once to ask how’s everything. Even when doing my hair, I was also worried about things at home. Will hubby be fine with Darius alone? Anyway, he was totally fine with him as hubby knows how to handle him well, feed him, change him, make him sleep etc. I’m blessed to have such a hands-on hubby. Both guys are not afraid to be with each other. (most guys will never want to be caught with a baby alone and some babies are cranky when they are held by their dads)

But as reported by him, Darius slept only half an hour and woke up when he usually sleeps one hour. And just before I reached home at about 4 plus, he was getting cranky again and complaining. Hubby thought he might want to sleep, so he placed Darius into his bed, wanting to coax him to sleep.

Did he actually miss me? I thought.

I quickly walked over to the room to see him and the MOMENT he see me, his eyes lit up, and gave me the brightest smile ever! I took hold of his hands and leaned forward and he gave me a kick in the chest because he was so excited. Haha.. we laughed at his expressions so much. So he does miss me afterall. He must be wondering where his mummy went.

Then, as I carried him, he was so excited and kept jiggling up and down in my arms as if we have been separated for years when it’s only hours. I’ve never seen him like this in my everyday life. It really melts my heart to see him so happy to see me. He couldn’t stop smiling, laughing, and chuckling! My bond with him is that strong.

We then settled down to eat the things I had packet back, placing him into the walker. His sleepiness seemed to have fled. I ate my food, he turned quiet and look down but when I looked at him again, he flashed me a bright smile. So this continued. I eat, turn, he smiles, I eat, turn, he laughs… He just can’t stop smiling or laughing! I did not even have to smile at him to have him smile back.

This really surprised us and we were very amused too. I told my hubby, “I must be away from him often if he always laughs so much upon seeing me.” This is because usually he is always cranky with me during the daytime, complaining cries more than smiling.

His actions made true the words, ‘Absence makes the heart fonder’.

How could I not love this wonderful baby of mine? Though I scold him and get angry with him everyday when he does not eat properly or sleep properly, I realise now that I don’t think I can bear to be separated from him for long. He too, I think, after today’s episode.

The rest of the night, he was sooooo ‘guai’ that he just sits quietly on my lap for sometime, not making any complaining noises when he usually would be wanting me to carry him to walk here and there or play with him. He also did what I asked him to do easily.

We were even worried that he was sick because he was so quiet and just want to be held by us. I told hubby to measure his temperature but nothing was wrong. Usually, he would be babbling away or complaining. It was like he wanted to be a good boy to prevent me from abandoning him again.

Who says babies don’t know anything? ^___^ They are smarter than you think.
