Yesterday she has got her bicycle and she is too much fond of it. From the night itself she hasn't left it.Even she kept it in our bedroom so that the bicycle is infront of her eyes. The first thin gin the morning after waking up she did is, went to the bicycle and asked me to take it out of the room. Once the bicycle came out of the bedroom, she has to ride it. Such is the fascination, that even she brushed her teeths, got dressed, and ate her breakfast without much fuss, and went to school. After returning her first task again is to ride the bicycle. The lollipop of riding the bicycle to park is doing its charm.

Surprised, shocked ofcourse pleasant shock, watching her over and over while writing here. My kid is used to throw the things on the floor whenever she doesn't like anything or activity. But just now something different happened. I asked her to put all her hairclips which she obviously has thrown on the floor, threatening her of no park visit today if not done...and surprise ahead for me, she really asked me if she has to put those in the box . On saying yes she started putting them back in its place. I don't know what is going on in her mind, but she really is doing the work.

As already I have ranted so many times about the minimum celebration, and gifting habit of hubby S, this year was full of surprises for me.
According to S kind of celebration, the occassion would be a normal affair with nothing to separate the day from the normal ones.As far as gift is concerned, then "go and buy whatever you want, or come with me and take whatever you wish". Then my egoistic side comes in action making me at loss by discarding his offer.
If its working day then, I guess S thinks its a crime to take the day off from work, sigh....The evening followed with a dinner at any restaurant/hotel/venue of my choice. Can you imagine even on my birthday he asks me if I want him to bring cake for me...gross....Inspite of my love to cakes and pastries I have to say no thanks, and so I settle with the cake deprived bday girl, or lady to be precise . And if I ever tease him for it, he would make an innocent face and say " I asked you and you yourself said No." Grrrrrrrr. At that moment I really feel like to punch him on the nose :P
So now what is special this year? Waking up in the morning , recieving wishes from everyone, finishing off the daily works, pick up the phone check the facebook, and find a special wish from S.
I mean quite surprising for me, Mr. S who really is not into anything like the excited ones for the occassions, leaves the wishes, which everyone knows and I was unaware until I connected with the internet. How great would it have been to hear those words from him face to face.Still those wishes do count, as those are the only ones making the day special in whatever little way it can.
So thought of saving those wishes and securing them in my space here, kya pata next year ho na ho ;)

My kid use to follow her grandfather a lot. She visit park, local market, etc with him. So its kind of real comfort zone between both of them without me worrying to take her to outdoors.
Recently this scenario took place and its left all of us in smiles. Whenever her grandfather purchase stuff from the local area shop, she takes the money from his hand and handover herself to the shop owner. Yesterday it was a Rs 500 currency note in her hand. She observed it and finally indicating the mahatma gandhi image printed on the note, asked her grandfather ' Dadu , ye aap ho ?' {meaning, grandfather is that your picture on the currency note } what could be the answer other than the giggles and laughters.
The aged and bald grandfather really matches with the Mahatma Gandhi picture on the currency ;)

Tantrums, tantrums, and tantrums...at each and every step a new tantrum is underway. I don't understand from where the kids get the mind and plan for them. I swear, raising kids requires a hell lot of patience and which is a difficult attribute for me to achieve. The more I try to control at one point, the more trials are waiting for me to get slashed.
Sometimes diverting the kids attention works, but that's not even 1% of the situations. It's totally exhausting, irritating and frustrating altogether leading to anger. No matter how much I try to avoid the situations leading to anger, but the tantrums hidden in the nooks and corners of the house just ruins my efforts.
I am just surprised that earlier I had reached a point where I felt no anger to express, as always I had an escape for it.... But with my kid, it's like I just can't help pulling my hairs. Even my kid has developed the anger attribute, if she wants something and is refused then all she will do is crying, crying, and crying, and when it seems not working, she starts throwing things to the floor.
Why the kids are so stubborn supporting their wrong demands. Just say no to any of their wishes and bang starts on the drama.
Somewhere I fear that I am lacking something in parenting, and this self doubt is really depressing at times . Only way to be at peace is just keep on fulfilling the incoming demands. The more I resist the more is the drama. I just fear that this surrender of mine may not make her stubborn and spoilt.
Taking a stand at this point is really the need of time for betterment of my kid. She should be able to hear and accept a "no" for things she demands. Just giving in won't do good for her upbringing.
So let me get ready for some more drama in everyday life, as my tantrum Queen is going to increase the intensity and frequency of her tantrums. All the best for me..
While I am writing here, my drama queen is in the arms of sweet, calm, deep sleep all hugged around me, making me forget every ranting. Her innocent face tempting me to cuddle her, kiss her forehead and just make sure she sleeps well.

Sometimes the small pleasures of motherhood goes unnoticed in the hustle bustle of daily life. Watching the kid sleeping all clinged to mother is so special. Today I noticed her face while lying near to her, I am totally mesmerised with the calm and content with which she is sleeping all wrapped up to me. Now why this moment is so special for me, because everyday I wait for her to sleep, and then rush to finish my pending chores. In this rushness I just missed to see my Sleeping Beauty.
Sleeping with her mumma , such is the contentment and secured feeling of my kid that even any random noise can't wake her, all I need to do is just caress her.
All this time I kept on rushing to finish my priorities regarding chores, tasks, and people..... People because when you stay in joint set up your time is actually not yours, can't keep on looking at your child while others are finishing your tasks, at least for me it's like that.
By the way my kid is quite naughty. During night she just find ways to get away from sleeping, all she want is to play, and all we want is to just sleep and relax. So to get her sleep I need to give her what she prefers most, sleeping on her Mumma's pittu (tummy), the moment she lays on my tummy she start to get calm and relaxed, ask me to hum the nursery rhyme 'twinkle twinkle little star' ,sometimes she will ask me to sing it, and sometimes hum it, saying Mumma aise wala nahi and hum or sing herself to clear her demand. This rhyme humming/singing is her bedtime ritual every night. The more I get irked with my tummy the more she loves it. Guess child have deep connection with her nest of nine months!!
