H for Helicopter Hat

Children is one of the best gift that God has given us. Sometimes, I just can't help but laugh at their goofiness. Every of their action is innocently cute to me. Why? Because I simply love them, much much and MUCH. When I go shopping, I no longer look at my own things. The first department is always the Children's Department. Even when sometimes I know that buying a particular item for them is a definite waste of money, I still cannot help but indulge in them. Whilst spending money on them is a pure joy, I was stingy to myself. Before I decided to make a purchase for myself, I often contemplate for quite a while, mentally debating if I really need that item and I sometimes find myself putting back the item onto the shelf.

Take a look at the Ikea helicopter hat. Reuben liked it very much the minute he placed it onto his head. It was not an expensive item, probably about $4.90(?) But does he need it? No! He has many of such hats - Chicken hat, Ladybird hat, Cowboy hat, Fireman hat... He definitely doesn't need a helicopter hat. But did I buy it for him? Yes. Why? Because he likes it, he looks cute in it and he is HAPPY. I could have gently tell him to put it back onto the shelf and I'm quite certain that he will not protest violently. Like he always does, he'll probably wave and say,

"Bye bye helicopter hat. See you next time."

Reuben can be such a sweet-natured boy sometimes. And at the end of the Ikea trip, I bought the helicopter hat for him because I love him!Loving my two children is the best gift I can give them and the best way to thank God for them :)

Loving them is the best gift I can give my two children...
