Coming to terms

To chose the name for my kid has been the most difficult work I have done till date in my life.
Kanav is not the best of all names but in the end I agree with Shakespeare.
Today he is 53 days old and me and Preeti are gonna remember this day throughout our life for an unexpected incident which happened just a few minutes back.

I was watching Apocalypto on Star movies intermittently watching it with Preeti's serial while Kanav was trying to sleep in her lap after his dinner/night dose.
With his eyes half open and half shut, he laughed and smiled like a grown up. He had done this few times in the past 50 days.
Being alone I just kissed him and told him (as he was looking in my eyes) "Baby, don't worry.....now you are with us, and we will make sure that we keep you happy throughout your life. Now we are your mom and dad baby and we love you and will keep loving you."

As soon I said, we are your mom dad........the hell broke loose. He started crying like he never did in the last 53 days. Not even when a week back he was given three injections in his thigh.
Preeti couldn't control herself. I thought it could have been because she suddenly realized that kanav does not believe she is her mother. But then it was mixed emotions - both the previous one and the also that a mother who sees her kid crying like mad dogs can't control herself.

I had to take the kid and make him realize that he was just a kid by playing with him like one.

A few days back I had just learnt that kids in the first 40 days can remember their previous birth and they see images from their past and talk to them.

My kid on his 53rd day is now coming to terms with his new found reality..................May God Bless his soul.
