Quiet Baby

These 2 days, Declan had been exceptionally quiet. Usually he’ll skip on one’s lap when someone is carrying him upright or at least he’ll flash his toothless flirty smiles when a female species teases him. (he is one cheeky baby whom I realized prefer the female species to the male). Even if he is not trying to “skip” out of one’s grasp when someone is holding him, at least he’ll be alert like a little rabbit looking out for predator. He’ll turn his head this way and that way while his eyes will dart and observe everything in sight. However he seems listless recently. I gotta put in double effort to squeeze some laughter out of him…

Is my baby mourning for the tsunami victims? Is it because I’ve subjected him to too much hideous television footage on this disaster? Or is it just the effect of the coughing medication which I fed him? Or maybe his metabolism rate just drop like pregnant polar bears during winter time since it’s exceptionally chilly these 2 days?

Hmmmm I guess little babies are just as sensitive as those animals living in the affected disaster zones. Somehow they can sense that things are not right. (it’s reported in the papers that no animal bodies were found in Sri Lanka as yet) For the little animals, they scrambled to safety before disaster hit. For little babies, who aren’t as predictive as those animals, they’ll probably be sensitive enough to feel the sadden mood hanging in the air.

*Anyway the above statement about babies’ sensitivity is my own deduction with no scientific backings. Readers may choose to go along with me or choose to disagree with me. If you disagree with me, no need to flame me down ok?? It’s just my personal thought.

I choose to believe my little boy is one babe with a big heart. He is just quietly mourning for the ever increasing casualties… I bet when he saw tv footages of little babies and children who died, he’ll feel bless that he’s born in this sunny island shielded from such calamities by its neighbours. As a little baby, he can’t really do much to help those victims. The least he could do was to observe some silence as a form of respect. Well done boy! Grow up with a big heart! I’ll want to see a man full of compassion in years to come!

With this, Little Declan will like to wish all babies, mummies, daddies and all others a peaceful, epidemic free, disaster free, terrorist free and accident free New Year. With all the bad news splashing all over the news in Year 2004, it no longer matters what you will get in the coming year, it’s what you can avoid which is more important.




May "Sister Declan" bless the world and help to bring a little smile to warm your day and your heart in this chilly year end.
