Hello from the Mothership. I have come home for a few days with Baby Y to spend some time with the parents. I love being home! But it is tiring sometimes. We all are on our toes. So Baby Y has now started walking. Actually sorry, not walking. Running!
We are going mad trying to contain him in one place. We barely look away for one second and somehow he has reached the other end. Either trying to climb surfaces, he ends up finding corners which even I didn’t know existed. I miss the times he was just in one place and could not move! That time I was going mad wondering when will he start walking and how much fun it’s going to be. How naive I was. Mother has body ache and I already feel 32 going on 90. And my Father seems like he will pass out. Those with babies who are yet to crawl, please please make the most of your time while they are stationary!
Somehow Baby Y gets more notorious and stubborn when I come here. There is just something about the grandparents house I guess. Here they just know that they can do anything and be however they want and are still going to be loved like crazy. So I have decided to keep my rules at bare minimum here. Let him eat biscuits, watch some cocomelon and run around.
We recently introduced some screen time for Y. 10 minutes a day max. It has now gone to 20 minutes here but I am trying not to fret about it. I had a whole rulebook for Yuj. The way I want to parent, things to do and not do, etc.
I threw the book out.
There can never be any plans or rules when it comes to being a parent. I allow biscuits, I give him my version of “healthy” junk food. I thought I wouldn’t give screen till the age of 2 but eventually decided to start showing a few minutes of animal videos. In these covid times I cannot really take Y out to zoos, parks or show much nature. Hence I decided to show some informative videos. And of course, some rhymes. Some may judge, some may understand. Doesn’t really matter to me.
Moving on..
I took the second dose of vaccine few days back. Finally done. Just wish that there was some sort of protection invented for little babies too. I am mostly MAXIMUM worried about Y. And K too. For most parents, 95 percent, maybe 100 percent fear is just for their child. All we want is for our baby to be healthy. Always. And most importantly, safe. I got such a major fatigue attack due to the vaccine. The first dose and knocked K and I completely. 2 days of chills, headaches and body ache. We were worried that it would happen again but luckily this time we didn’t go through the same ordeal. Just fatigue.
Now I am stuffing my face with cake. I really need a break. Break from being needed for just one hour. One hour to draw, paint, make comics, write, etc. It’s not like I don’t get time. But when he sleeps, I want to watch shows. I recently watched Empire on Hotstar. Wow!
What a show! I really loved the acting, story line, the drama, grandeur and everything else. Most of all I loved Dino Morea’s role as Shaibani Khan. He’s my new crush. Every month I guess I have new crushes. He is my current! The show is really worth watching. The Mother and K too enjoyed it. My friends are acting pricey about it since they don’t really trust my reviews. But it’s seriously a good watch. I am also watching Nine Perfect strangers on Amazon Prime! It’s going so well! I had loved the book even though it had a flimsy climax. But I am enjoying the show even more.
That’s all for now I guess.
Love,
T.
Most of my days!
