Baby, I will be there for your important moment

One day, while reading a picture book story with my son, I saw a sweet scene of a princess and a prince getting married. I told him: \”Dad is really looking forward to the day when I drink your wedding wine.\” My son asked: \”What does the wedding wine taste like?\” \”It\’s sweet, the taste of happiness,\” I said. \”Then I\’ll drink it too and see what it tastes like.\” The little guy said happily. \”Okay, that\’s an important moment for you. Mom and Dad must be there.\” \”What is an important moment?\” \”There are many, many important days for you, such as your birthday, your first day of school, And the first time you walk on your own, a lot” for every parent. There are always many children’s stories and unforgettable moments hidden in my heart. When I know you are coming, I will be by your side. I remember that at that time, when I found out that my wife was pregnant with the baby, I was both happy and scared. This fear comes from not knowing how to cope with the coming days. I am even more afraid of not being a father suitable for my children. Fortunately, reading can help. So I quickly made up for my classes and bought books to read during pregnancy. Then I read it to my wife. Compare the knowledge in the book and imagine what the baby in your belly looks like now. Waiting day by day, counting week by week. Sometimes my wife has cramps in the middle of the night, and I quickly relieve her. The son often starts to move around at 11 or 12 o\’clock in the evening, gently scratching his mother\’s belly. We were happy at that moment. Because when children are too quiet, we always worry about whether we are not doing the right thing. Many people say that a man\’s true awareness of being a father only begins when he hears his child call him \”Daddy\”. And the mother\’s nature is innate. At this point, dads’ feelings often lag behind. Therefore, fathers must start participating in pregnancy preparations. Fathers who are highly involved tend to be closer to their children. Bei Dao wrote in the poem \”To Father\”: \”What I see from the direction of childhood is always your back… You called me to be a son and I followed you to become a father.\” These two poems tell the story of the relationship between father and son. Truth: A father brings his son into this world. No matter how picky and challenging the son is, one day he will suddenly discover that his father\’s characteristics are also hidden in himself, and he will see his own shadow in his father\’s back. No one can deny that father is the most important person in a boy\’s growth. It is worth reading by every man. I had been looking forward to being with my wife when she gave birth. But no matter how you calculate it, it’s all during work. So when we finally started taking our annual vacation, I used to say it to the little guy outside of that swollen belly. \”Come out quickly, so dad can spend more time with you.\” Unexpectedly, my son was born more than 10 days earlier than the expected date. My mother-in-law said I was the one who called him out. No matter what, I accompanied my wife into the delivery room and took the baby from the nurse when it was just coming into the world. This important moment is also an important moment for our family. I must be there. Some things seem to be already destined. As my son grows up. We had an important moment together – reading. I remember that when he was only 6 months old, he pulled my book and started to chew on it. I think it\’s time to get him some books. Then I bought cloth books and cardboardbooks, and a picture book of a bunny with a rattle. Just think of this as a fun toy. I made a promise to myself: I must be there when my children are reading. Because babies aged 0-6 are basically exposed to reading and fall in love with reading when their parents read aloud. At that time, I regarded the moment of reading as a very important moment. I\’ll drop everything I\’m doing. Then read the story with him. He looks at the picture, and sometimes he prefers to look at me. In fact, I know that, especially when listening to familiar stories, he is waiting for me to repeat that action or a certain sentence. That was his little expectation. The child looks forward to his parents accompanying him and slowly opening up the world. After my children went to school, I found that the time for parent-child reading has really decreased. In the first week, I didn’t get used to my schedule. I had to go to bed early and get up early, so I had almost no time to read. Do you just give up like this? Of course not. So we moved the dinner time earlier and the bath time earlier. Then I squeezed out 30 precious minutes. This will ensure that the little one will be told a story every day. After he drank the milk, he found a book and put it next to the pillow. He waited for me to come over and close the curtains, close the door gently, then sit on his bed and start telling stories. Put aside the unread items on the bookshelf and put aside the read items. Baby, I hope I\’ll be by your side every day when you tell me your bedtime stories. There must be a sense of ritual in a child\’s life. Because of the sense of ritual in treating life, it brings endless happiness to family members and also leaves milestones for children’s growth. What is a sense of ritual? In the book \”The Little Prince\”, there is a plot about the sense of ritual that is quite touching. The little prince visited the fox again the day after taming it. \”You\’d better come at the same time every day,\” said the fox. \”For example, if you come at four o\’clock in the afternoon, then from three o\’clock onwards, I will start to feel happy. The closer the time is, the happier I will feel. Here it is. At four o\’clock, I will be restless; I will discover the price of happiness. But if you come at any time, I will not know when to prepare my mood… There should be a certain ritual.\” \”What is the ceremony?\” asked the little prince. \”This is also something that is often forgotten.\” Fox said, \”It is what makes one day different from other days and one moment different from other moments.\” Try to add a little sense of ritual to your life every now and then. Children will like it very much. They can feel an attitude of being noticed and valued. This is actually the taste of love. What child doesn\’t like it? I remember once taking a taxi. There was a serious traffic jam under the viaduct. The taxi driver was very anxious about him. I said don\’t be so hasty, it\’s okay. He pointed to the seat next to him, where a cake was placed. \”It\’s my daughter\’s birthday today, and I promised to spend it with her. I was about to finish my class, and I saw you were stopping by, so I made another order.\” \”That\’s it!\” \”Every year, my daughter asks me to bring it to her personally. Give the little princess a birthday flower crown.\” \”You are such a good dad.\” \”No, because I am too busy and have almost no time to accompany her and can\’t do much.\” I think this girl is happy because she Although my father is very busy, he always has her in his heart.And the moment of wearing a flower crown between father and daughter must be her sweetest birthday memory. We have too many parents who regard their children\’s matters as trivial matters and feel they are of no importance. Deal with it hastily or end up cheating. But do you know your children’s expectations? Just as the little fox said to the little prince, \”If you come at four o\’clock in the afternoon, then from three o\’clock onwards, I will start to feel happy. The closer the time is, the happier I will feel.\” The love we can give our children will never be greater than Children really need so much. So, please treat every important moment of your child with care. Even if you think it is trivial or common. I remember my son’s first day at school. I promised to go with him. So despite staying up late the night before, I still struggled to get to school the next day. When he said goodbye to us, he went to the classroom without looking back. That moment was truly unforgettable. When I got home in the evening, I opened red wine and cooked delicious food. Celebrate him becoming a school boy! His shy smile at the dinner table contained a hint of happiness. My dear child, I cannot promise you wealth and smooth life. But I will definitely be there during your important moments. Moreover, I will use all my efforts to bloom a brilliant flower.
