Usually, apps and I bid bye in the mornings with a kiss. As I was rushing out on Monday morning, we forgot to kiss goodbye.
Just as I took the corner near the house, Nixon reminded me that apps and I didn’t kiss. I was taken aback that he took note of our practice and that he was disturbed that we forgot about it!
Not too far from the house, I remembered that I forgot to take something. So, I made a u-turn to go back home and get it. When Nixon knew I was going back home, he immediately said, “Now you can go back and kiss appa!”
When I got back, I had to call apps out for the kiss, and I could see Nixon beaming with a broad smile. *phew*
I realize that the family traditions that we have instilled in the boys means a lot to them. Nowadays, when I speak to them over the phone, they never fail to say ILU amma. But if they do, and if they have passed the receiver to the other sibling, they will insist that they speak to me again, just to say “ILU amma”.

children are watching and learning from what we do and say everyday without us even knowing it.I think your boys are just too cute!
that's very sweet and gentle attitude towards children and sure it would be a sweet gesture whenever they think back later!
starry,
Yes, I do realise that.. they just remind me of that fact every now and then :)
Thanks..
Jeevan,
Yes, I do hope that they fondly carry go on with the traditions I am trying to set within the family.
