Kids-Totally amazing!!!!

I had visited a new born baby girl about 6 months back....The kid was red, dressed in white and was sleeping blissfully. There was so much commotion outside with almost our whole family there trying to see, who the kid looked like....Definitely the eyes are like her mom's...the lips exactly like the father.. The color exactly like her mother.. Oblivious to all this, she woke up and cried....It was like telling all of us, why are u bothered abt such trivial things??? Be happy I m here......It is something that’s inexplicable and I cannot put it in words...

6 months later during my visit I could see a drastic change...She reacted to what we said, the color I was wearing, my expressions, the toy I was having...Kicked her mom, when she finished eating ,gurgles, laughed when we made funny faces and kept on talking like we should understand every word she was speaking!! I din't do anything.. Just sat and watched her and learnt so many things in just an hour.....I couldn’t help but be in total awe of God's creation....

Recently, I was taking a flight from Mumbai to Chennai. I got in, settled down with a book, when I heard a small voice behind me..."Amma, how does the plane fly"?? It was just an innocent kid talking to his mother. I din't intend to evesdrop, but the mother was just so patient in explaining every single thing to the kid. I presume its his first flight journey and till we reached Chennai, he had so many questions to ask. Some very silly, some smart, some for which I was also trying to learn the answer from his mom....
Overall I couldnt help but wonder what a marvel they all are at every stage of their life...
