Counting our blessings

I rarely get to see Danial interacts with other kids although we send him to a daycare centre. I take it that it's normal for kids Danial's age to accomplish things that he has accomplished. After seeing him earlier tonight at Dzareen's birthday get together, I am amazed at my little boy. He's trully my little miracle. And before I forget, Happy birthday Dzareen . We'll skip the age part. After all, it's just a number.

Back to counting my blessings. I'm thankful that I have Danial to begin with. I'd be miserable if I didn't have him. And to add to the joy, he's going to get more cousins to play with from Liris and Rizal; and Soosan and Ghaz . It's double trouble for Soosan and Ghaz as they're expecting . Well, good luck to all of them. I had my ups and downs during my pregnancy. I vaguely remember the bad turns but fondly recalls the miracle of pregnancy. The sweetest memories of getting the good news from the doctor, listening to Danial's first heart beats, looking at Danial's development through ultrasound imaging, his first kick, and lots more. How I wish I'm pregnant again.

Secondly, I'm thankful that Azrai is a loving husband and a hands on dad . He took the emotional roller coaster ride with me through my pregnancy. He's my pillar of strength. He started as a novice but quickly mastered the skills of being a dad. He didn't have much choice I supposed with Danial being so tiny and me still recovering from ceasarian. I don't think I've ever met a more hands on dad than Azrai. He bathed Danial when he very little and until now they take their bath together. He's on diaper duty the minute he steps into the house. He spoils Danial when Danial wants to go out and play. He's everything Danial and I could ever ask for. He's a super dad!

And then, I'm thankful that Danial is a smart kid . I bet every parent would say that about their children. I've always notice that Danial has a charming personality. He's friendly and eager to interact with people. Just take tonight for example. He was pleasant to everybody. He shakes hands with everybody. He danced to the belly dancing tune . He was playing with his 3 year old cousin. Somehow or rather they understand each other with their baby talk. He kissed those who offered their cheeks to him . In short, he's my little man and he's my baby. I must have done something right.
