A's Blend Of Emotions

Exactly a year ago, I documented some of the most adorable first words/sentences of A baby.  A year has passed.. and its time for the performance review! Every mom longs to hear that first word from their little ones. But, there is also a point when every mom longs for some "silence" and goes “shhhhh chumma iru” (translation: shhhh keep quiet).  This writer is not exactly in that situation “all the time", but can already see a couple of glimpses before nap time and bed time specifically when she says "yes, the chatty period for today is done sweet heart, it is QUIET time now". We even received a comment from an outsider once -- "Oh, little A, you're a chatterbox, aren’t you?". That comment made us smile..no..laugh that day.  Over to the documentation now. A's.. Most-popular sentences Acknowledge  Aama (yes, acknowledgment, okay) for most of the things he is asked for. (yes, as a mom/woman I like it when someone acknowledges..go A!)

Why rock a nicely sailing ship? Sometimes, when we "think" we need a change-- it is almost always one of the following. 1- YOU are getting old 2- YOU are getting old And.. then there are a million reasons connected to the above, of course. A change is a constant -- heard this a million times? This is in fact true IMO because we are mostly dealing with these dynamic homosapiens. Whether a change is good or bad is a mystery. But, sometimes you just need to let go and explore with no (In human terminology-- minimum) expectations. Whether the journey or the destination makes you smile or frown can be beyond you. But, the numerous lessons learned while introducing a change are lessons for a life time indeed. How do I feel at this moment? 1- Jigsaw: Like my toddler receiving a new jigsawpuzzle, questionable, yet hopeful. 2- Peek-a-boo: Ready or not, here I come. 3- Separation anxiety: Like my 4-legged that panics when I am gone for 4 minutes to get the trash tote
