Hello everybody!
Hope you're having a great day! I've been MIA for the past few weeks because I've been experiencing so many new things and trying to get used to a whole new country. So far, I'm loving USA. I miss my parents and Tee a lot; but with whatsapp and skype, its not too bad. Another huge advantage that I have is that I live with my sister and her family. I have an adorable 4 year old niece and I spend a lot of my free time with her. Off late, I feel much younger! I am quite lazy and lethargic by nature and used to spend a lot of time watching TV or scrolling through fb. With my niece (let me call her A) around, I don't get to sit around much. After spending these past few weeks with her, I've started enjoying playing with her more than sitting in front of the computer! I've never been good with kids; I don't know how to engage them. I've never even had any desire of doing so before. A is the first child I've ever lived with. She's become really close to me and she puts me at ease! Earlier, I never knew what to do with kids. After being around A for these few weeks, I've realized, I don't need to do anything! I just need to find the kid in me and enjoy myself!
When we take A to the park, I never used to get on the slide and other play equipment. Play equipment is for kids and grown ups like me shouldn't get onto them was my thought! (I thought it wouldn't support my weight! :P But the play equipment here is really heavy duty; I've seen well-built 6 foot people getting onto them to help their kids) I finally got onto one once as A kept asking me to play with her; and it was SO much fun! I loved sitting on the swing for hours when I was a kid. The other day I sat on a swing after roughly 8-10 years! God! What an amazing feeling it was! It brought back all my childhood memories. It was early in the morning, and I could see the green grass all around for quite some distance. a cool breeze was blowing, and I swung for almost half an hour! It was SUCH a wonderful feeling! You feel weightless on a swing and I love that feeling.
About 3 days back, in the evening, A was struggling to finish her dinner and we decided to play a memory game with her just to distract her. I never thought that I; a 21-year old would enjoy a game meant for 4 year olds. But we (3 adults and A) had SO much fun! We played another round of it even after A was finished with her dinner.
I don't know how or at what point of time I grew out of all this. I've stayed away from it for such a long time that I was convinced that I was too old for any kiddie stuff. I was wrong! I still enjoy playing games and playing on the swing! (Not to the same extent as A of course!) Staying with A has brought out the kid in me again!
Do you enjoy playing games once in a while? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time,
Bye! :D
