Happy 2 years Birthday!
A lot has changed over the years. Your eating habits, sleep patterns, social behavior, characteristics, etc. Sometimes, I wonder where my little baby disappeared to. The kid I now have are loud, opinionated, stubborn and high-strung. It doesn’t mean that you are less loving or adorable. In a way, I’m glad that you are evolving into your personality and can no longer be clubbed as just ‘baby’.

Dear Baby Boy,
Its been quite some time now that I wanted to talk to you.
There is so much you seem to be doing these days, that its getting difficult keeping track of them all.
There is so much to ask you. To find out what all is going on in that little brain of yours. What makes you do what you do.What makes us fall in love with all those little actions, childish at the surface, and yet , far more mature in their content.

You , my baby, are everything I ever wanted in a boy and more. You are smart, funny, you have a dazzling smile which gives you an all new radiance . You are bright, intelligent, loving. You make the least fuss sleep time. When you get up in the morning and smile at me, it feels as if my heart will burst with pleasure. I cannot recollect what life was like, before you came into it.

Weekend Updates

The weekend started with leaving early from work on Friday to do some house cleaning before baby boy comes home from his day care. Sat morning was blissful with getting some time with baby boy before we head out to DC to meet some Friends for brunch. As luck would have it we did not anticipate the DC traffic and ended 30 mins late. In a rush to get to the brunch place we ended up parking in a private parking area and got a volition sticker on the car, thank god for small mercies in this case a big mercy that the car was not towed yet. back to the brunch which was awesome with some good Friends. One of whom had her baby boy . After brunch we decided to take the kids to a park which was 3 blocks away. My baby boy surprised we by walking the 3 blocks plus the area in the park to get to the play area. I was concerned that his legs would pain but he showed great spirit and did not want to be held. In fact we did not even want to wait for the signals to turn green and insisted on walking through traffic. The boy had a great time playing the in sand and showed no signs of sleepiness. Finally by 2:30 we decided to leave and again baby boy walked all the way back. By the end he was cranky and tired. We saw the volition sticker and ran out before the towing car could come. The rest of the day was spend playing and relaxing at home. The next day on Sunday we had a baby boy's buddy from day care coming over with his parents for lunch. The kids were surprised on seeing each other on a weekend and did not show any signs of knowing each other at first. But as time passed they started interacting and it was cute to him them together. The most surprising part of the lunch was when you showed usual interest in eating raw onion with salt and lemon that was kept aside for topping on pav bhaji. This was followed by a much needed nap and some play time in the evening. Since it is cold in the evening baby boy preferred to run around in the house then go out.
