Mine

K is growing up to be quiet a sweetheart, extremely friendly, the whole day chatting away in a baby language. However what amazes me is the way she behaves with strangers or with people with whom she is familiar, but are not her family.

If she is at home and we have guests, she will smile back at them when she is in our lap but the moment the guest will try to take her in their lap………there start the
“ Weeeeeeeeeeee” and you can hear her crying profusely as if someone has beaten her. Even when we visit friends and family, K takes good amount of time to get familiarize and the docile behaviors she demonstrate clearly make us go in back foot. When we say how naughty she is at home, no one seems to believe us looking at the quiet shy child sitting in front of them. However, the moment we enter the elevator to come home we can feel a sense of joy in her, and the chirpy girl is back in action; either pulling her ma’s hair or trying to press the button of the elevator.

She is barely nine months old and I have no idea how much she can feel, but can surely say she understand what is her OWN……….her parents, her dog and her home. I can just see that every day, when I bring her from the day care, how happy she is to see us and how bubbly she is when she enters her home. Guess that is what we call “Human Instinct”, you love company, you love to possess, you love to belong to and the seed of it is sowed as early as when one is barely few months old
