Superman er 'Haumaukhau' :

Even a superhero needs his mommy in distress :D

Not guilty as charged

Last night little bird was getting hiccups. First they were normal soft ones, then it became strong.

We tried everything, but it just would not stop. By everything I actually mean giving him something to drink. He would not allow me to hold his breath, which is very understandable, and I was too lazy to find him a plastic bag.

So I tried the Bangla method, I tried scaring him. I gave him quiet a serious jhari, and it was most probably the first jhari of his life.

I just said two or three lines in a very strong voice, he then hugs me with his tiny hands and unable to meet my eyes he says 'ma, ami aar eom korbona' ( mother, I will never do it again) with all the guilt his little chest could bear.

Ure amar jaanta. Ure amar shona pakhita. If only I could make him understand that the cajoling was to stop his hiccups!

To me this was also a learning, as I got a hunch of a development milestone, whereby I now know that the little one can assign cause and effect relationship to events!

Those Proud Moments....

As a parent I guess there will be many proud moments in my life. As of this date, these are some:

1. You are a well behaved kid: I took you to my friends house the other day. We actually went to see their new born. You were very well behaved, amused yourself with your ball that we took with us. You played on your own. My friend, the new parents, and the other friend were all saying how well behaved ( and cute) you are!

2. Your sense of Order: Everytime I wear a set of salwar kameez, you make sure I wear the right dopatta. If I am not wearing the right one, and if it is laying around you take notice, and bring the right one for me. Proud of your power of observation. I guess you get that from me :P

3. Remembering the use of things: The other day, there was a ball under the bed. I had just freshened the bed with a 'jharu' and kept it nearby. You jumped up, got hold of the jharu and used it to get the ball from under the bed! Way to go my boy { mommy is so proud of you}

4. Your memory: You remember parts of books that we have not read for days.

There are a lot more that I am not putting here. But you make me proud baby :)
