these days shuffling between office and home, late home comings have taken a jolt upon my health giving me stress, lack of sleep and lethargy. By the time I reach my 2 1/2 years old son has gone to sleep. But yesterday he was awake as if for me only. He was jumping, playing, laughing and humming. Seeing me he smiled, hugged and kissed. His seeing me before sleep maybe was a surprise for him as much as for me. We both played for 10 minutes then only he left me and I was very happy and content that I spent time that day with my son. Later, I realised, it was actually stress reliever for me. Although I have the smiling face photo of my son in my wallet, as desktop wallpaper in my laptop, but the real laughing and smiling face with full happiness seeing his father after many hours had medicinal effect on me that day, because I was smiling and happy that day before sleep.
I wonder, how many have experienced this?

What a wonderful, inspirational post! Smiles are stress-relievers, and what better way to is there to feel good than by seeing your children smile? I was once asked what one thing in my life could I never give up and without even thinking about it, I answered, "Hearing my children laugh". The happiness of those we love is priceless.

ME, ME, ME!!! My 2 year old sences when I'm angry and stressed and she comes to me to hold her and says, "happy mommy" "happy mommy" and smiles that heart mealting smile. She occasionally says "mad mommy" and that makes me think, but the happy one makes me smile instantaneously and say "yes baby, mommy happy." They have an innocense about them that is so incredibly theraputic that it's where I tend to go most for a pick me up. Their smiling faces and innocent questions are the rock of my being. It means so much to me to have them with me everyday and I am quite selfish with it. I don't lend them out or send them off unless I absolutely have to and that is a rare occasion. My hubby and I went on our first date alone about a month or so ago in 2 years. We had not been truely alone for over two years and I called and checked the entire 2 hours we were gone. It is just that they are such a huge part of my existance, I truely don't feel complete unless they are with me. They are amazing little creations for being so small and so unworldly! It is truely a blessing from God to have been given these little precious girls to raise. So yea, it happens to me! I cherish those moments and it seems like you do to! Enjoy, because unfortunately, it won't last forever. Relationships with our children will grow and take on new roles but will never be like the innocense you and I are speaking of right now at this stage in their lives.
