My Perfect Child (Part 2)


A while ago, something estrange happened after I wrote about My perfect child back in August. Tommy and I were by our-self because daddy had to work that weekend. and I didn't want to cook, so I went to our local Dali market to buy sandwiches. When I am getting into the Dali market, I saw two ladies standing close to the entrance and one of the ladies looked straight at Tommy and her faces lighted up as soon as she saw him. I got skeptical because you never know who is surrounding your kids. I Kept walking and smiled back to the ladies. The one lady came to me a she said: He is so beautiful, he is just PERFECT! and she said to Tommy: You are so BEAUTIFUL. Tommy smiled with the biggest and perfect smile to her. I just said: Thank you and kept walking.

Months later, Tommy and I went to Toy R Us to buy a gift for our little neighbor. Tommy and I were browsing. Suddenly, I saw a lady who was looking at Tommy and she asked me: How old is he? and I said: He is two years old. She said: That is the age where they are all over the place and she look at him and said: He is PERFECT! After this, I talked to the lady for a little while.

These two ladies just reaffirmed what I has always known since I was expecting Tommy. They made me realized people will come into our lives who will accept Tommy for who he is and I should be open to them. Then, they will enjoy so much, as I do, watching my son becoming a child, loving his spontaneous silliness to make us laugh, admiring him for every milestone he accomplishes at an appropriate age, celebrating his triumph over a challange because many things are not for granted for him and contemplating the master piece he is himself because he is a PERFECT child!
