Indian Daddy's Blog

As parents, we are always busy with different levels of work. Official, household chores, social communications, and many more. We have limited time to warm up our bonding. Despite my busy schedule, I managed time for Neel's (my son) bedtime.  Neel's bedtime started at 8:30-9:30pm. Before fall asleep both of us interact about numerous topics. First 10-15 minutes we discuss an imaginary world that is Hot wheel cars, Airplanes, SMART house, Space station, Dinosaurs, Dragon, Solar systems, and many more. Thereafter I started to tell some short stories that give him morale to his inquisitive mind for about 5-8 minutes. Finally, I sing lullabies cuddle over a hand. Normally I sing only one lullaby but sometimes more than two songs. Simultaneously I also massage his foot, head, and hand. I often massage the back and whole body for his ultimate relaxation. This is the precious moment of both of us or Ourtime . This may be reciprocal and I also feel ultimate relaxation....

And as I believe in it, I tried so hard to become a good dad to my child. I tried, again and again, to hold my son properly. I touched those little toes and fingers and imprinted them on my heart. I cooed to him, whispered sweet little nothings and told him how much I love him. I fondly keep him close to my chest so that he can feel his father’s heartbeat. I hummed softly with a mild touch of my warm hands when he was just a few days old. Every night, I would sing lullabies keeping him close to my heart and it felt so great when he would sleep like that.
