All about parenting

The title of this post could also be - next part of “The moment”…

My friends were asking, why I am not continuing with my blog, why there are no posts. Well, apart from the time constraint, it is also to do with the single track mind state…. why single track? Read on….

She came into the world, after a long wait - 5 days after due date. Guess, she was quite well settled inside and had no plans to come out!! It was another great moment when I saw her first time… when I forgot all the pains I went thru labor. Life was thrilled, but different, difficult and very new. There was learning all single day, each single moment. Though all possible situations with babies are available over internet and we “googled” most of them by then, but still we realized the small tiny life was the best teacher. Sometime in middle of night her colic used to upset us or sometime we felt helpless when we did not know why she is crying…
And then she grew and we grew too as parents. Life shifted from proactive nappy change and feeding to something more reactive and demanding. Life started revolving around her. It’s her building blocks, her crayons, her dolls, her TV shows, her rhymes, her, her and her... and we seemed never got tired of it. We have less and less time left for us. She does not allow us to complete any discussion. She wants to be the part of our each moment. A single utter of pain, and she showers all her love and kisses. She even cheers up us for anything we do. She comforts us by saying “chinta maat karo mamma, sab theek hoga” < don’t worry mom, everything will be fine>
But we know this phase will pass soon, she will grow up, she will have her own world, friends. She will not search the nook of my arm to rest herself…
She gave us all the happiness and bliss that any parent can ask for...we only pray to God that she gives us more reasons to live, every single day...we love you
