Happy Mothers Day

Whats in a Parenting Blog without a Mothers Day Post ? But still, Whats in a Mothers Day for a Mom who is pampered everyday just as her special day .....

Kids pamper me. Every other day they thrill me with ......


* Small bunch of roadside flowers collected with love

* Bits of love notes stuck all around the house

* Cool lemonades prepared with wrong proportion of sugar & lemon juice may turn out too sweet or too sour but they are in right proportion of love & care

* Applying Nail Polish for me with Stucco Effect

* Feeding me with their leftover cookies, lollipops and what not

* Taking my side whenever we have a family tussle

* Considering myself to be their all in all problem solver like the bug killer, the jammed jar opener, the lego tower builder, the big bubble blower, the high shelves things reacher etc...Mom is their Super Hero

* Instant watery eyes when I am hurt or in pain

* Believing strongly "Mom Knows". Mom knows the spelling of everything, how to win more tickets in Chuck-e-cheese, how to eat icecream without dripping...

* Sensing my emotions too fast like a robotic wonder with powerful sensors

* Singing my own crooked versions of lullaby for me

* Hugs & Kisses whenever I feel unsecured

Everyday is "Mothers Day" for moms who treasure their kids ........

Patriotism

Nowadays most of us are Global Citizens. We are Globetrotters. We travel around the circumference of Globe. Every country has its own personal touch. Every country's attitude, flavors, weather, political gimmicks, cozy places, rich history, proud culture lingers in our soul. The more we are away from homeland, the more we love it. But still, the chance to compare & contrast the patriotic feelings in different countries is really great.

I love india, my homeland. But I feel I miss Singapore, all the more. The most precious chapters of my Life were written in Singapore. My daughters crawled around, explored in walkers, learnt to walk, had their every bumps & falls, talked in gibberish language, had their first birthdays.........all in Singapore. Singapore reminds me of all baby stuff. It reminds me of tiny booties, floral bibs, flavored pacifiers, baby toys and all sweet things.....We are sentimentally attached to Singapore. Count on us Singapore !

Ready Set Learn !

Ready Set Learn! is one of the wonderful TV shows for Kids. I bet your kids will love it. Moreover even parents get too sentimentally addicted to the cute characters in it like Paz, Wilbur, Meteor etc...

Wilbur

Wilbur, a preschool reading show is the recent obsession of all toddlers. Wilbur the calf and his cast of barnyard friends will just steal your hearts. The main intention of the show is to promote book reading habit. It surely will develop an early love for reading and books.

Wilbur can be found daily on daily on Discovery Kids Channel (8am PST/11am EST) and TLC (6:30am C/MST & 7:30am EST).

It's repetitive enough to reinforce the idea in kids, at the same time without mind-numbing the adults. Same story is read more than once with different words to enable kids to think differently.

Its a show too good for your kids to miss.

Paz

Paz is a 5 year old Penguin boy who has a big imagination. His mom Big Penguin is never far away from the advice and support that Paz needs. Every loving mother will identify herself in the character of Big Penguin. Paz has a natural enthusiasm to explore everything just like our dear darlings !


Enjoy watching it with your kids !
Big Foot

I never knew that creators could imagine so many exciting and educational stories with cars, ambulance, fire engine, dump truck and monster trucks. The stories are infused with active, physical play that simulates the way young people think, communicate, and especially, the way they play.


Have a worthy TV time ......
