Sick Yet Active Kido

Days are really hot now..the temperature is getting higher and higher and so do the sweat and heat.

My cooling agent....my kido..she got effected with this heat. Viral fever has attacked her from last weekend ( sunday evening). Luckily she is getting well pretty good. But medicines are such a no no from her.It takes a lot of effort and two people to make her take the medicines.
Doctor's visit and medicines are the two things she is damn scared of. Let the doctor touch her and there she go all in tears and screams. Well, the doctors knows the children behavior and have discovered that distributing candies are going to distract kids and make his job easier..I wish something or some idea click me which can help the medicine time as a cake walk.
Apart from this she is a healthy kid. On the recent doctors visit, she weighed 11.17kgs( ideal should be : 10.45 kgs) and height is 2Feet & 7 inches i.e. approximately 82 cms (ideal should be: 81.7 cms) . I guess the figures look good.

By the way the little kido is on her learning train too fast . She has now started getting accustomed to few more words in her vocabulary like 'tata' for 'chacha' ,'mama' for my brother,'pa' for park,'tetter' for her tricycle. She has started calling her grandmother as 'Dada' now.

Along with this, she has started recognising some more body parts 'Cheeks' ,'Fingers', 'legs', 'pittu' for tummy. From her ABC book she now knows well the apple, ball, dog,jug, bird,car,grapes,lion, icecream, fish -> the doctors place and the retaurant has the mini aquarium installed, as soon as i say fish, pari points towards the aquarium..though she is scared to touch the glass..she thinks she will touch the fish :D..even she doesn't allow me to touch it.
One interesting incident to share, yesterday we were going to park, and the cuckoo was making sounds as 'coo-coo-coo'. I just told kiddo that this is how bird speaks, and asked her to confirm if she got it. After that just ask her how the bird speaks and she will make sounds as 'coo-coo' in her beautiful voice...making everyone to roll with laughs :D

Yes or No

Unknown 11:55 PM 1 Comments

Its going to be almost 1.4 years that I decided to leave my job and stay at home with pari. Back then, she was just 4 months old baby. Now she is 1 year 7 months and 25 days ...Kids grow fast , or time flew so fast like a blink of the eye.

These days a big question comes every now and then in my mind, if I should start thinking to go back to work. This going back is going to be little difficult and time taking as the job hunt will be from scratch along with a title of 'sabbatical of 1.5 year' . Its not like i am financially in need of job, its just like sometimes i feel empty and question myself for my career and identity. Being a mom is no where less than the greatest asset of my life and I really really rejoice it in every moment of my life, but when I think about me, somewhere I feel myself lost, may be an identity crisis.

Everyone in my immediate family feels that I am spoiling my career now. Its high time I should think about it. Pari is grown up enough, and has her grandparents who are so attached that I dont need to think even for a second before handing her to them.While S is of the opinion that what is the need to work, Pari needs mumma more. So its kind of chaos in my head to decide or think on how to proceed. Somewhere I feel its my job to start teaching her, it should not be like she may lag behind other kids. It should not be that I repent on later my decision to join work again. Not to forget that still I make her eat her meals and milk.

The major facts which needs my attention are:
Am I ready to leave Pari for the whole day away from me and my eyes.
Is this right time to go back to work, or should I wait till she is 2
Should I focus more on educating her, rather than focusing on my career

I am so out of words to write anymore. Hopefully will update this one soon.Till then reader's valuable comments are most awaited by a confused mom !!

Random reminiscences

Unknown 3:21 PM 0 Comments

At some point of time,you miss the people who had very special and close place in your life .Some people who use to be so good friends, roommates, colleagues, classmates, and many others.But now you are connected to them just virtually,without even saying a 'Hi/Hello' for years. Those people are just present with a green dot on your chat list of messengers. At first a little chit chat conversation will be there but slowly slowly this too vanishes. Now, the scene is like, both of you are seeing each other's green signal of availability but no one takes an effort to initiate a conversation.Connected through social media keeps you updated about the people. For some life events you convey wishes in the form of comments. The long phone calls, gossiping hours, chill outs all are things of the past.
One of the reason for creating this type of situation is I guess different cities. Once you move to a different place, the chances of meetings, and communications become less, lesser, and then least down the time lane.Everyone is so engrossed with the lives and routines that hardly is there any neccesity, or in some cases the feeling to make an effort to communicate.Busy life, changed priorities, new surroundings, new people, new you...everything falls in proper place to make this distance justified.Obviously how long will you hold on to virtual world around you, you need some real people to feel alive and happening.
Then someday you get a phone call or say any online ping from an old chapter of your life, which makes you to recall all the memories with that person. Both relive those memory lanes and sighs 'ah what a life it was..everything is so changed now' . After the phone call ends, or you become offline, both of you get busy with your current lives with a promise to stay in touch. PS: promises are meant to be broken !!

Its not like I am complaining about myself or anyone else.This thought took shape randomly while watching the online people in gtalk. Decided to give some words to it, getting a new post for my blog :)

Happy Mumma !!

Pari

Pari is now starting to arrange words into sentences. She now speaks 'Baba aao' , 'Mumma Aao', 'Papa Aao'. Also included few more words into her dictionary 'Nana', ' bao bao ( for doggy)' , 'da' ( for Dadi)', 'Bye'. She has such a crystal clear voice that makes her pronunciation very clear.It gives me immense feeling of joy to hear these words in her beautiful voice. Her smiles, laughter, making so many different faces, her love towards music ( she watches only songs on TV) , her little laughs, her little footsteps running all over in the house just makes my day and home lively.

She has started taking small meals with her dadu and me, which has helped a lot in calming down the worried mumma in me.Banana, Dal, Rice, Moong Daal Khichdi, Aloo (Potato), Bread, Rusk are some of the things which she eat without creating much fuss. Apart from all this, still to make her feed milk is such a difficult task. The only way to reach my aim of milk feeding her is to keep her busy with songs in tv and then slowly put spoon in her mouth. At times it use to work and at other times I have to engage her to videos in my mobile phone. Some of her favourite videos for milk time are:

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Twinkle Twinkle little Star
Nursery Rhymes

Apart from these, Installing some baby games in the phone has also helped me a lott. She likes to play ,to be precise 'try to play' in phone. While she is busy in figuring out how to proceed in the game next, my mission of milk feeding gets accomplished. :)

Now a days she is such a great lover of Ice-cream. All efforts to keep her away from it got in vain. She knows the refrigerator and the location where her 'I' (she says 'I' to Ice-cream) is kept. If I deny her of 'I' she starts trying to push the refrigerator along with her ear peircing screams. What to do have to give her a little bit. Kids are so intelligent these days.
