While I have been thinking that Baby is the sensitive one, and Baba the typical boy, I got to witness the sensitive & caring side of him.
Om and Ahana were home after school and I was checking with him about his Pool splash playtime that he had at school. He was excitingly talking about the fun he had in school and Ahana suddenly burst out crying. It was the day of her Mathematics examination. She was upset that she had lost 6 marks straight without being able to attempt the last two questions. She had a 1hr 45mins examination without having a clock in the class or the invigorator announcing the timings. What had upset her the most was, the teacher had snatched away the papers on first bell, without giving them the extra 5 mins that the kids should have got. And the worst part, she knew the answer to the last 6 marks. Now..this was the story behind her crying..
While all of this was being narrated by Ahana (with tears rolling down), Om ran to Ahana hugged her first..then came back running to me and asked me why she is crying. I told him that she was upset about her exam. He again ran back to Ahana and asked her to stop crying.."Ahana please alabeda" and again came to me asking me to tell her to stop crying. The otherwise happy face was now sad to see his sister crying so bad.
Am happy that while the kids continue to fight over petty things, they still have the bonding that the siblings should have.
