On Monday (March 16, 2009), I decided to keep Julian home as he had been coughing the night before and waking up at half hour intervals, complaining of pain in his throat. I was kept awake till 4 a.m. before he finally dozed off to sleep! That morning, he woke up close to 10 a.m. (which was very unusual as Jules normally wakes up at 7 a.m. ++) and I decided to indulge him since he was unwell.
Me: “What would you like to do today? Since you are unwell, Mommy will stay home with you.”
Jules: “I want to paint!” You know, those new things you bought for me in the (magic) cupboard?”
I didn’t know what I had gotten myself into … Cos some moments later, my spick and span house was slathered in paint though I had painstakingly laid newspaper extensively over the floor! Anyway, Jules enjoyed himself tremendously so it was well worth it!
My son visibly perked up after the entire painting session . I guess Colour Therapy – a combination of colours, enjoyment and laughter - works! Like an old saying goes, “A merry heart does good, like medicine.”
