The
experience of being a first time parent is priceless. Witnessing
the first laugh of your child, the first cry, and the moment he or
she speaks the first word is something to be remembered in a
lifetime. Being
a parent comes
with great challenges, but surpassing all these bring great reward.
The
love of a child for a parent, every smile, and the innocent show of
dependence is heartwarming. It
can make a parent believe that everything is all worth it.
Whether
you are a first time parent or not, welcoming a baby is a joyful
event in one's life. For
months, the child has been waited. The anticipation level increases
its as months pass by, so as the mother's difficulty as her womb
gets bigger
to accommodate the growing life inside. The
sacrifice in childbirth sometimes is too much for the mother to bear,
but the love for her offspring overcomes
all the pain just to hear the first cry of her child. The
father's happiness and the warmth of mother's embrace welcomes the
baby in her new world. The
child will not remember anything of it, but the memory of such
happiness will forever be encrypted in the hearts of the parents.
Much
more before
a
baby's
arrival is the thorough preparation of parents
to be. The
soon Mom and Dad usually shop for kids stuffs to keep their little
one comfortable in
her small world. In
their enjoyable expectation, the parents decide what their kid will
use and wear from colors to
designs. Even
looking for mini-dresses, small cloth shoes, little hats, bibs, blankets, feeding items, and other baby needs is an experience people cannot have everyday, and it will always be a part of parenting.
In
the very moment the child is born, the
baby is not the only one born to a new world, but the mother as well.
Her,
being a woman is fully given meaning, and her life will be dedicated
to learning, and making the most of being a parent. It is an added responsibility, but a responsibility entwined with love
and care. Mothers
and fathers are also newborns, for they are to embark another
journey together with the family they created. There
can be difficult challenges to come, but keeping this relationship
intact should be a goal of every parent. A
family is precious, especially to a child who is to be prepared to
this dynamic world. Children
are to be nurtured, cherished, and cared, until the time they are
capable of handling their own lives. Kids
will grow and depart their childhood, yet parents will always be
parents.
Parenting
is no joke, it is a decision that must be taken seriously, and one
cannot simply turn backwards when things did
not get in tune with expectations. The
responsibility to take care of life is given to the hands of parents,
and no matter what, they are to give
their child or children the love they deserve.
Kids
are gift; their sweet smiles are joy incarnate, and they are their
parent's treasures.
