Mothers have espn

Yesterday, Rehan was circumcised. Wail! I finally understand how my mum seem to always know what I am feeling and what is going in my life even though no one told her. I had even thought she'd read my diary sometimes, she's that good. As it turns out, mothers are empaths when it comes to their babies. Sniff.



PRE-happiness

Let sleeping babies lie

That is my number one advice for parents. Ha ha.

He's all botak now and look(ed) remarkably like Micheal Scofield. (Not anymore since he grows hair at an amazing rate.)

And when a hero comes along.......wail!

Had a rant all ready to go but decided against publishing it. Re-reading what Adik had written, my sanity and patience was restored. Sometimes all you need is someone to understand and to say 'You can do it!'. If heroism is in the everyday things you do, then my sister is one too, for touching people's, or at least mine, lives positively. I'm sure, as is the way in this world, this is often left unsaid, even her students have been enriched with her as a teacher. It is only that the critics are so often louder - particularly because compliments are curiously silent. Anyway, even if the ingrates can't appreciate you, I can! Hee hee. Big love Adik!

Recovering

Had a half reunion (half coz not everyone was there) yesterday. Loads of laughs as usual. :-) Not trying to make you feel more guilty Jah, but we missed having you. Brrr? Thanks for being there guys, and for sharing in the joy.

Am finding happiness with my little one. Hee hee. He has a varied number of faces...and all of them fascinate everyone in the house. He has become a real stress buster for all. Everytime someone in the house has too much work, they go looking for Rehan. It's really quite funny.

Post sister's wedding mayhem around the house slowly settling. Am not spared from the madness. Lots of 'friendly' advice to which I politely smile (or rather grit my teeth) and disregard. The problem with all the advice : they are usually contrary. So, unless the advice come from those people I consider reliable, it's bye-bye.

Am getting a little tired of well-intended acts; the only thing that comes to mind is the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Grit and bear it, eh?

From a beautiful post from my friend, Minerva. Thanks for the tribute. :)

For Rehan though, it would say Made in India. Ha ha. Welcome to globalization. Now we all know where Mothercare makes clothes.
