Mommy's Share: The most Amusing moment in my Life

Asalamoalikum\Good Morning:
It was like a dream come true when finally the moment arrived when my hubby gets the vacations so that we can take the new addition in our family(the baby girl) to meet my beloved mother residing at the distant town.

Flowers

I was very much excited because I was confined to home as i cant climb the stairs frequently due to the 2nd floor residence of mine. As every mother knows which thing on Earth, the newbie doesn't need(apart from yourself). From napkins to creams, formulas to water bottles etc.
 I, at last, manage,to leave the home with all the accessories and necessaries. I was carrying the large Hand  bag on one shoulder balancing it with the baby on  the other. My hubby is taking care of the older kid.
It was a very long journey so we opt to go by the car as we can make as many stopovers as we need so that we can feed both(ourselves and the baby) and do the rest of it (you know). As always happen to the new moms there is something important missing. In our case it is the second Feeding Bottle. So after every feed I have to toil to wash the the bottle with our Drinking Water. To avoid the stern looks of my hubby, I tried to wash it secretly as he will definitely dislike the scene of washing the baby stuff with drinking water. Thanks! the rest of the journey gone unnoticeable.
I was awestruck when I got to know the preparations going on at my mommy's home when I called her reaching the nearby place. As a ring the door bell, the whole family  was gathered to welcome us and the new comer.. As soon as I step into the house the snap mania begins to capture each and every moment. Me and mommy hugged long only interrupted by the cries of the lil one as she is once again having hunger pangs.

Now after excusing them, I got to feed the newborn for which I hurried. After the feeding, the Photos are there to make the life still. my brother is very much into this, he requested me to take a series of snaps by lying the baby lie over me as he will send this to some Baby Magazine. I obliged instantly. I have no idea that it will become an instant hit. As the baby lean over me to be photographed, she instantly burps. All the regurgitated milk went straight into the my mouth distorting my facial expressions to the weirdest.
Oh My God! This snap has made history. After watching this the whole family roar into the laughter. As my lil one seems to enjoy the the situation, it also kept me amused for the weeks to come.

Mommy's Dream: An Unforgettable Journey

Asalamoalikum/Good Morning

Baby 

There was fun & excitement in the air. Everybody was gay and happy as we were going to experience our first ever journey of the train with our very dear kids. We & kids have made lot of plans for the journey as we want to enjoy every bit of this, like Playing board games and catching Views of the amazing world outside the window.


It was like a dream come true, actually our beloved aunt who lives in a distant city, has been inviting us for long to her place but due to the busy schedules we are unable to join.So after we all decided to catch the train early in the morning.

The day before the departure was a very busy day. I and hubby were busy packing up our things to avoid last minute baste. I, additionally have to kept the kids accessories, trying to put them in every nook & corner of the luggage.As we cant afford to carry  heavy  bags because our kids are quite enough to be looked after rather than carrying of the luggage. After a hefty day collecting, packing and keeping things in the bag we are about to lie down on our bed at night.
Then what happened  which we dreaded the most
 'Oh My God' the little one got up. Now another night with full of happenings awaits us. As soon we put her to sleep she gets up after a while. After any one of us leave our bed to comfort her. this stand up lie down cycle continue the whole night. We can see our dream of wonderful journey going down the drain. We turned off the alarm and wake up other kids to get for the station, this is another courageous story to be told later.

Baby's Day Out

After collecting our energies, we rush to the station half drowsy half awake. Thanks God, we board on the right train and instantly fell on sleep after getting the seats. We remain in the sweet dreams the whole journey only to be woken up by the neighboring passenger on the train when the destination arrived.

Mommy's Scare: The most Frightening moment in my Life

Asalamoalikum/Good Morning 

Adorable Kid

 

There was great excitement in the air. Everybody seems to be in a gay and happy mood but the one who is the center of attraction seems to be little confused, little apprehensive and gloomy. Although she has quite a reputation in the entire family but obviously this was the first time she has to be all alone  entering a new phase of life. Everybody was showering their blessings and best wishes.
You must be wondering , this all is the preparation of some high profile celebration. No, No! To everybody's surprise, it is the night before my sweetie's first day at school.
As a final touch , I once again look at the bag and other accessories. The Pencil box, in particular, as this was the favorite item of her which has been brought after a long bazaar searching mission.
Finally in the morning, everybody gets up early to boost her morale as she still seems a little reluctant to attend the very first day at school.


First Day Of School

A great sense of relief was felt after dropping her at school with lots of kisses and good byes.
But this comfort does not seem to lasts longer. On returning she was not very happy. When enquired about her day at school she burst into tears. I instantly gave up to dig in the things and surprised her with her favourite food which makes her settled a bit.
But as soon as I opened the school bag, I am about to loose my mind. My, My ! There was not a single thing left undivided.
The Pencils were sharpened till the last bit, Crayons and other colors were halved into two and the books missing. It seems she must be in some fighting session rather than school.
As this all is shooting my aldosterone levels to the highest but thanks to my yoga classes which taught me how to better control yourself. I, keeping my patience level high, just asked what had happened?
She with a mischievous smile uttered in a completely impartial tone "Nothing".
This answer make me realize that I should be the one who should be frightened from the school rather than she ?
What's your point? Kindly Share.

First Day Prepration

Cookies craze. Are you still after it?

Asalamolikum/Good Evening

You must be wondering why I put the cookie container in front of you.
Yes, I know, we all LOVE the DANISH BUTTER COOKIES or SAINSBURY'S BUTTER COOKIES.

Definitely I will offer you some ONLY IF THERE ANY COOKIES IN IT?
Can u make a wild guess what is in the box?
Anyone!
It's a Mystery!
This box is a Mirage i.e things which appear from far away are not real when you reach there..
To everybody 's astonishment its a Cookie Box containing the sewing equipment, which used to be in my mother's cupboard always.
When I was a kid, me and my sis had a crush for this box and by looking at it we imagine ourselves indulging on the delicious treat. But as soon as we open it  we always get disappointed as it is filled with needles,  buttons, elastics, reels. of different colours............and amazingly this happens over and over again. We keep asking our mommy that why this BOX is misused and are made to deceive us? She always SMILES in return.

 Now my daughter always rush for it and tried her best to be the first to open it and always regret  to see stuff of no use but settled on playing with  them. At least it is not as pleasurable but still give some delight.

Being a mother of a three year old, life is  quite  frizzy.Running  after her to prevent the house being turned  into a warehouse keeps u on your  toes.

But the most fearful and apprehensive  moments are those when you try to wake up your child at midnight  to let her take milk!! 

The child is half sleeping, half awake, you trying to sit her into your  arms, with her eyes closed, mouth half open.you after preparing the milk in a cup or more difficult  in a glass,put it into her lips, constantly  reminding and talking her to keep mouth open.
You are also worried that the drops of the milk will not drool from mouth corners and land into  her clothes

In the meantime you also asked her to take breaths in between,so she might not have cough and regurgitations.

Once the episode is over you took  a deep breath .Sigh. 

Now the next pinnacle  is put her back to sleep calm and quiet .

If this has been achieved  with success, 

HURRAY U R THE WINNER. 

This episode  of waking, sleeping  must be experienced by all of u.
