I'm Hanuman!!!

My cub getting ready for his second stage appearance...It's always a proud moment to see your kids on stage...This particular one was close to my heart 'cos it was based on Hanuman and his friends...a topic the kiddos totally related to!!!Thanks to the movies, the Gods have become more 'cool', though you hear them saying the Monkey-god, or the Elephant God!!!

Speaking of Gods, cub senior had this to say (when he was three)

We were going through an Amar Chitra Katha comic on Lord Rama.Fist comment: Chee, shame, shame, he has hardly any clothes on!!!"

Next comment: "He's going to feel cold."

On being reminded that he was in exile hence the clothes, S1 replies: "But isn't he a God, he could have got some clothes for himself!!"

it's a good thing his granma is not reading this!!

Telling it like it is...

Ever since we've moved to Singapore, a few precious things have made their way here too as well : favorite books, toys, possession et all. We have photos of the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins... we also have a portrait of the four of us - the Family portrait - taken few Diwalis ago...

S2 is in a why? phase right now. Everything is why is your hair long and ours short, why is the sun so hot...you name it, he's asked it!!!

Spying this family portrait, he says"Why?" S1 and i look at each other and shrug' What do you mean Why?"
"Why do we have this photo here?"asks S2
"Why Not?" asks S1

"Photos are kept of those who are not there with us, so that we remember them... We are all here, why do you need photos of us when we are already here?"

Did that make sense? I guess so!!!

when little ones grow...

it all seems so recent...the pregnancy cofirmation, the nine months of carrying a new life inside and the shock of actual birth!!!After cub senior was born, i told myself this is it and spent my time with him trying to be the 'ideal' mother...five years later, cub junior made his presence known...this time round, i thought I was better prepared...Didn't I have experience??? It was a memorable delivery for two reasons: 1)I really labored for two days (the lil cub just wouldn't leave his cozy den )and 2)the papa was there to see him being born...:)(and no!!he didn't faint!!)

I had this habit of storing little things which they did on bits and opieces of paper...I used to think when i have time, I would compile it in a better format...

It's been five years ...my cubs are growing up... I guess there's no time like the present to preserve their innocence...while it's still there...It could be somethinbg to show the grande kids someday...
