ESL Blogs

I dedicate this blog to one of the EC members and my friends who has recently become a father.

So the miracle happened at last. The baby is born!!
Isn’t it wonderful that with all the modern technology we still can’t choose what it will look like and be like?
It is a girl, a tiny girl with such tiny gentle fingers that it makes you afraid to touch them. She’s made all around realize how big they are, and the happy girl of school age, till this moment the youngest and the smallest in the family, all of a sudden seems grown-up even to herself. She’s proudly preparing herself for the role of a “nanny”, asking her mum:”Did I look like this when I was born?”
There she is, the little princess, lying in her cot. How I love that “know-all” look in newborn babies’ eyes! She’s gazing calmly at her family who are standing around, searching for familiar features in the baby’s face. A faint smile appears sometimes on her face. Very soon she’ll learn to give a real, flashing smile which will warm the hearts of those who see it.
How much she has done by just being born – giving new titles to a lot of people: Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother.
So let us welcome this new life to our world! May she grow in peace and happiness!
