The teacher!

3 months, and a lot of things i have learnt from my son. Some nice, some useful, and some important, for a happy day. I think so at least. 

1. Get up with a smile, stretch completely, every part of your body. Relax. 

2. Pass few farts, then lots of potty, and smile (we have a clean stomach now). 

3. Greet everyone , be it gooo gooo gaa gaa also. Make the household know that they are important to you.

4. Drink milk (no need of brushing 😉 ) , without cribbing. With that energy, shout away to glory, and start work.

5. If you are hungry, dont cry. Eat your hand. (apparantly thats tastier than milk 😉 ) . Be patient, and people will understand you need food.

6. When enter a new  territory, or when you see foreign species, do not cry. Do not get your problems out.

7. When diaper is full, lift your legs and let mommy know that she has to clean. Make people understand instead of shouting or crying.

8. When sleepy, stay silent, and dull. People will know not to disturb you, or rock you to sleep. Express properly , not in a cranky way.

9. Sleep like a log. Enjoy every moment of it. Leave all tensions behind , for there is always a better tomorrow 🙂

No philosophy. God’s creations are great. His way of teaching them are greater! 

our first talk!

The first time for everything is fascinating. That too when its the first child in the family. 

I remember the first time i cleaned your diaper. The first time you held my finger. I celebrated the first time u looked at me directly, first time you said gooo!! Then we had our first talk.

I was casually singing you ‘Old mc Donald had a farm ‘, trying to make you smile (with a bow bow here, and a bow bow there) , you squeaked, and you said ‘aaaeeeee’. I thought it was an extended smile, with little aaaa. But no, you continued ‘aaeeeooooo’. I said ‘aaaAAAaaa’ (imagine the tone) , and you repeated after me ‘aaaeeeeeaaaaaa’. this went on for a while, i scared everyone in the family coo-ing with you in the same tone, and u replied to every screetchy cooo of mine. i called everyone to say that u know, we are communicating. 

Then you stopped, suddenly, and u started crying. I had no idea why. I thought u were hungry, tried feeding  you. Na, u cried. I sang-a-song for you, danced with you. You went on crying. Your dad suggested I change your diaper, and that was it! 

The diaper was pastel yellow, with that yellowness spread on your pants , and a little on your shirt, and then i noticed that my dress also had a tinge of that.

Well dude, you did try your level best communicating what you did. 

“Mad female who is talking utter nonsense, please stop smiling and clean me up before i become untidy, else you will regret it!”

A month that happened, from then whenever you start your story, i check your diaper. Its 80% positive! Job well done 🙂

the history , behind maa!!

Disclaimer: This logic is told by a person who says/thinks/believes may be, that molarity is something related to molars! 😀 so here it goes!

As per oldies or books, the first words kids say are mostly thatha..atta, something of that sort. Now, when kids cry, the sound usually is waaaa, some kids say ummmaaaa, and my kid says, rather cries ammmaaaa. So i proudly broadcasted that my kid has started calling me ‘amma’ , without me teaching him , and he recognizes his mom more than anyone else. Now, this made someone upset, and jealous. That’s his dad. So he started teaching the kid ‘pa pa’ . Whenever he is with the kid, he repeatedly chants ‘papa’ to make the kid get a hang of it. But, that’s my kid 😉 And obviously kids dont say papa immedietely.:D

So this is what my husband has come up with. In olden days, whatever the kids used to utter, moms took that as referring to them. Kids said ummaaa , and ummmaaaa became a name for mother. Kids say ammaaaaa , and amma became a name for mother. To top it all, kids say mmmmaaaaa , and hence, maa became a name for mother. Whatever the kids said, became a word for mother. Since dads were not around for the first 4-5 months after the kids birth, moms have taken complete advantage of that !! And now please read the disclaimer 😀 😀 .

So my husband now plans to stay with the kid and teach him papa papa papa, before he utters anything else! 😀
