Today I am Grateful For..

  1. A baby boy who is becoming more and more independent everyday.
  2. A baby Girl who is still so dependent on me that it takes my breath away.
  3. The lovely breeze from my kitchen window when i sit down for my morning cup of tea.
  4. A good Internet connection and time to browse.
  5. One of the best desserts I have ever had..its sweet but not too much and absolutely delightful...its called Kunafa.

A change of heart ??

Today marks a memorable day in my parenting world. Last night when I was dealing with once-uncommon-but lately-very frequent, bout of insomnia, I changed the wallpaper in my profile to a picture of my baby girl. No big deal!! You say?? Well for me it is a big deal…..its a momentous occasion, a disloyalty to my undying love for my boy. I never could have thought, never could have imagined in my wildest dreams that I was capable of loving anyone even an echelon more than I love that person. It was just not happening. Yet it took my baby girl just 7 months to win me over and by GOD she has finally won me over, through her sweetness as apposed to her brother’s fierce, headstrong, willful self. Once, when I saw my friend (equally taken with her first-born) change the wallpaper on her mobile to a picture of her second son, I was dismayed, appalled even. It seemed like a treachery of epic proportions, a how-could-you moment!! I am at the same point in my life and I love every minute of it. My heart sure is big enough for two, maybe even more. Now all I have to do is make sure I hide the mobile from aun, I don’t want to break her heart na!!!
