One of the most precious things about him is how he picks
things up for the first time; you can see curiosity oozing out of his eyes and
he delicately examines the feel and touch of them… The moment he establishes
eye contact with you decides what happens next. If you move quickly towards
him, or raise your voice in warning, request or command (or move and use voice
together) – he’ll fling the object and run, or just run with it – but if you
politely walk away or distract him with something else, he oh so preciously –
very delicately puts it right back and walks away from it back to you or the
other beguiling thing that you used to distract him with. His delicacy in
putting things right back where he picked them up from, in the manner they were
when he picked them (to the best of his almost 2 year old ability), just has my
heart melting up into a gooey warm mush.
Mash’Allah and Alhumdulillah.
Mash’Allah and Alhumdulillah.
