Baby's day out

We have been to restaurant, temple and a party with Naman but never really been "out" before today. It has always been house - car - destination (usually indoor) journey for him. But thanks be to the weather Gods, we ventured out for a walk today. Now, who can resist taking a brisk walk on a warm, sunny day with brilliant clear, blue skies. As it happened, even dear Amma who is usually averse to being outdoors tagged along. All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon. Ended up going to Starbucks, downed couple of frappuccinos and pumpkin bread. Refreshing indeed!


Going by the way Naman has taken to the car seat and his behavior today, we think he is going to be an outdoorsy kind. We certainly hope so. Can't wait for summer already :)

Mom alert

The other day I had an awakening of sorts. Started with me thinking about something that was bothering me. Then shrugged it off my mind with a note that I will ask mom about it later. There it was!! How many times have I or we, if I may speak for many of us, not done this? Ask mom about it later, oh mom will know what to do about it.... How good it feels to put your mind at rest that way. Well, I have someone now who will look up to me for help, guidance, advice and what not. Am I ready for such a HUGE responsibility? Ofcourse there is no looking back. I only wish and sincerely hope that I be a strong and sensible mom and may only the best of senses guide me in guiding my little one.
