Since my little one started school, we've been falling sick. I am told it’s a regular feature in every household when the toddler goes to school. So when I fell sick (yet again), my husband
decided to give me some break and took up little one’s entire responsibility
over the weekend. I have to say he is very helpful even otherwise, when it comes to helping me with Smera. The
daddy daughter duo love to spend time with each other- be it 4am or 10pm.
A recovering child and my extreme cold and cough – didn’t sound like a
wonderful combination. I didn’t want
Smera to again contract the flu that we have been passing on to each other. So
when my man offered up to help me with in through this difficult state of
affairs, I couldn’t help but to take up that offer with relief.
The weekend started off really well, they fed each other breakfast,
played in the pool, went out to the aquarium– leaving me home alone recuperate.
Back after sundown, after a packed
itinerary, all Smera wanted to do was to sleep. The ever-helpful husband took
the little one to sleep and managed the task effortlessly.
Then came Saturday and both of them had fun again. Feeling proud (and a
little smug!) of the two-day achievement, the Daddy offered to help her put to
sleep again.
With a bottle of warm milk for Smera, daughter and daddy retired into
the bedroom. Ten minutes must have passed before I went to check on the
progress. As I got near the room, I heard two distinct yet familiar sounds –
one that of baby talk another of a heavy breathing.
As I walked in to the room, I saw a restless Smera with the
determination of a Duracell bunny, trying to wake a fast asleep Dad !
Guess Dad was so tired keeping the little one busy over a packed
weekend that he slept off instantly while Smera had the charge to go on for
some more time.
But hey, I could not have asked for a better weekend given the
circumstances. It’s been a great two days of daddy daughter bonding and I got
another story to tell Smera when she grows up. The day baby put Daddy to sleep :)
Aww this is soo cute :)
