My precious possession!

Right now our (me and the hubby) world revolves around this little man, who is busy himself and keeps us on our toes as well! Darling kiddo is 3.8 years now and is the most happening thing at home. Here's presenting a little peek into his illustrious life :)

He managed to dug out a chocolate lying somewhere in the fridge and was asking me to open it for him. I said - you can have it tomorrow morning in the car when we will go on a ride to your grandma's place. He just listened to me and went on to do something still holding the chocolate in his tiny hand. I was smiling to myself that I handled the situation smartly by not saying no directly, to which he would throw a tantrum otherwise! After a while he was asking me to open the balcony door to throw the chocolate wrapper in the bin. I was not pleased that he finished the chocolate and asked him why did he eat it? He said - Mumma I already ate it while going to grandma's place in the car tomorrow!!!! #AajKalKeBacche!

The days are always longer than nights, irrespective of the season when you have a toddler at home. Somehow toddlers are (mostly) not that hungry, always busy and active and not that sleepy when you just want to curl up and sleep at the end of a chaotic day! On that same day they just cannot sleep soon! Murphy's law I guess! On one of those nights when I ask him to lie down and sleep, he keeps yapping and after a while he gets up and says - I will do su-su, ask daddy for drinking water and come. I don't have a choice but to say ok otherwise he climbs on top of me and keeps repeating the same thing till I say ok, so better to give in at first instance! So he walks to the bedroom door, opens it half, turns back and says- I will come in 2 minutes. He finishes the activities, comes back and by then I am half way through sleep when he climbs on top of me bringing me back to first step. Now the second round of yapping for a while and he gets up and says - I will do su-su, ask daddy for drinking water and come!! He walks to the door, turns back and says - I will come in 2 minutes!!!! And this cycle happens till when I hate keeping a count. The cycles of drinking water and doing su-su are never ending during sleep time on some days!! #AajKalKeBacche!

So now he started recognizing vegetable names looking at the sabzi/curry. I was so surprised that he was able to figure out so many things by looking at the end product. So I made a surprise gesture with  a big grin saying - oh, how do you know??!! After few days of this episode we went to our in-laws place, it's a town called kadapa. Now when he met an older kid of a relative, and we were asking my son to introduce himself and ask the boy about his place. So he said - Hi I'm Suvan, What is your native? Kadapa, oh, how do you know?? heheee - all this uninterrupted without giving a chance to that boy, who didn't know what to say as my child was asking the question and also saying his own answer, followed by - 'oh, how do you know?' in that mocking tone of his Mumma and goes laughing! #AajKalKeBacche!

Bringing him back from school was never easy! He always wants to spend time outdoors and finds all the reasons for not coming home and to stay out. I discussed the same with his school teacher and so once she called him and said - it is time to go home, see your tummy is very hungry now, time to eat lunch ok? He nodded his head like a good boy, held my hand and walked home without much struggle that day. Needless to say I was on top of the world! Next day when I went to pick him up, as soon as he saw me, he turned back to his teacher and said - I'm not hungry today! and was smiling and started running here and there - back to square one! #AajKalKeBacche!

Once when I told him that I hurt my knee while opening the bathroom door, he quickly said - that's why you need to be careful and walk slowly!! Will you be more careful from next time? oh god, when did he become my grandpa, hahaa!! #AajKalKeBacche!

And when I say that my legs are aching after lying down to sleep, he would say - I will press your legs Mumma! and he manages to do so with his tiny little hands. The pain might not go away but his offer to press is what makes me sleep tight! #AajKalKeBacche!

And yes he manages to sit for one hour long when I am participating in much-required-can't-miss workout-dance class. I cannot appreciate him enough, for I know it's difficult for kids at this age to have such patience and I feel so proud about it.

He is naughty yet adorable
unmanageable yet cute
mischievous yet sweet...my little bear!

I always wonder what is it about kids that makes us feel they are the sweetest angels when they are sleeping!
I always wonder how does my kid get away with it even though I think I have disciplined him enough?
I always wonder what life was before he was born?
#AajKalKeBacche are not only smart but teach their parents how to be patient, compassionate, innovative, disciplined among other essential things which are rarely found in this rapid phase of digital life now-a-days!

Parenting Tales - Luck Is Overrated & Happiness Is Acquired

Hey there! It has been such a long time I wrote here and it feels so good to be back. While the look and feel and reach of blogs have been transformed while I was away, one thing remained constant and that is content. End of the day, we all read when the content appeals to us, when the content stays with us, keep popping out of our minds when we are busy with something else, when it resonates with our persona and current phase of life. If you are a parent and dealing with new parenting trials every day then yes my thoughts resonate very much with you - our content is the same :) Let me make you feel jealous/happy for a bit now! Recently, during many interactions I was quoted as a 'lucky parent' and I felt the need to write why it is not so on most occasions. Sooner, you will know why. My child is 5 years now and below are certain things that happen as a rhythm and part of his lifestyle. 1. He is the first one to wake up at home by himself, early in the morning, around 6-

Two fathers...unlimited love!

To the two most amazing fathers I have known so far! To the father who thinks beyond money who thinks daughters are no less to sons who thinks the best thing he could give his daughters is their education who never thinks that cooking is only a woman's job and still cooks at home who prepares much loved home-made pickle for her daughter instead of getting the store brought one who doesn't care what others think when he is doing the right thing who defied the societal rules and went out of his way just to give a beautiful life to his daughter in her rightful way! Happy Father's Day dear Dad! To the father who delivered his baby with the same (or may be more!) grit, passion and pain as his wife, excepting the physical pain and scars! who takes care of his kid also like a mother who never shows patriarchy who is never tired and always plays along with his child, almost like a sibling who never minded changing diapers, cleaning bum or giving bath to his baby wh

adaptability is a great virtue

I cannot tell my dad to use only enough water while shaving, I cannot tell my father-in-law to be cognizant about vote bank politics, I cannot tell myself to rinse and get the milk/curd packets dried before throwing them in the bin...oh but I can say anything to my kid, for now! So the point is it's not that my father or father-in-law or some elderly person (which also includes me!) are unaware of what they are doing but some things just cannot change! U bet! I'm sure all of us would have seen a bit of it in all of us. What do you think would have been a proper way for us to change? Get most of the things right at the right age. That's why I said that I can try teaching anything to my kid. When I was a kid there was no such thing as garbage segregation as people never felt the need to do it. Now there is so much hue and cry about the dispose of garbage, of course it has to be, as we reached the verge of unthinkable unimaginable diseases people are contracting these days. S
