Samvad: talks with your baby
Our Sweetest Secret
Talk with your baby · 2 min read · Week 6
Before telling the world, a mother shares her quiet joy with her baby.
Hello, little one. It's Mumma. I have a story for you.
Today I went down to the gate. The aunty next door was watering her plants. "You look so happy today!" she said. I just smiled. "It is a nice day," I said.
But inside, I was thinking of you.
Shh... it is our secret.
Nobody out there knows about you yet. Not the man at the corner shop. Not my friends. Not the didi who sweeps our lane every morning, swish, swish, swish.
They see me walk by, the same as always. But I am not the same. I am carrying a tiny light inside me. And that light is you.
Sometimes, in a busy room, I rest my hand on my tummy. Just for a second. Nobody notices. But I am saying hello to you.
Shh... it is our secret.
Soon we will tell everyone. Phones will ring. There will be hugs and happy noise all over the house. Everyone will want to say hello to you.
But tonight, it is still quiet. Just you and me. The fan is humming softly. The sheet feels cool under my hand. And I am smiling in the dark, thinking of you.
Shh... it is our secret. For now, you are my sweetest secret.
“Some joys are sweetest when kept close.”
Talk to your baby
For now, you are my sweetest secret. Every quiet smile today was for you. Soon the whole world will smile with us.
Say this aloud, slowly, or in your own words.
I love you, little one. You are safe. We are together.
