Admiration for kids

We all admire kids. Kids can captivate our attention and keep us mesmerized. The tender touch, sparkling eyes, drooling lips, silky hair, soft toes, tweeny weeny fingers and innocent smile make them very cuddlesome.

A young mother feels proud whenever anyone stops to admire her baby. She is secretly delighted. Motherhood breaks all social barriers. Strangers of all ages and backgrounds are ready to talk with a mother. Babies are praised by every passer-by. But still, what superlatives are employed, no baby is admired sufficiently to please the mother.

Every baby born into the world is a much marvelous one than the last.

“Cutie pie”, “Smart Cookie”, “Bundle of Joy”, “Sweet Darling”- we give ample praises and are still lost for words when they attempt something new every time.

That first play with her hands, bumpy first steps, association with toys, rolling over, sound of blabbers, wet kisses, steady sittings, hands held, tight hugs, loud laughs are sure attention grabbers. We rewind and play them back countless times in our memory, just not wanting to get them erased out of our forgetful mother’s mind.

Give a little love to a child and you get a great deal back.

Very small kids love their mothers unconditionally. They accept mummy 100 % as she is. Mummy is their heroine.

• Although mummy is very absentminded.
• Although mummy’s mothering instincts goes wrong at times.
• Although mummy’s sleep deprived eyes make her look like panda bear.
• Although mummy hasn’t put on any basic make-up.
• Although it’s ages that mummy tried a new hairstyle.
• Although mummy roams around the house in her night gown all day through
• Although mummy hates being a mummy at times.
• Although mummy considers parenting as an excuse for all her short comings.

Kids just accept and love immaculately. But beware moms, this is not forever. This is just a very short sweet span of time.

Slowly it would evolve to a phase when kids become rebellious, uncontrollable and unanswerable. They may turn out to outsmart or look down upon or grow hatred towards parents.

Finally,

we the HEROINES once, may seem to them like HITLERS or HAZARDS or HARRASSMENTS

So my dear fellow young moms, stop brooding over petty problems like colic, teething, food allergy, flu, separation anxiety, tantrums, sleeping procedures etc…OH OH …there is no time to waste. Just enjoy every moment of parenting your little joy.

Fully get drenched in their unconditional love.

Nursery Rhymes with historical explanation

Nursery Rhymes are the song that we teach our little babies. They have the unique rhythm and sound which makes the baby enjoy. We never even give a second thought about what it all means about.

Here are some Nursery Rhymes and the bizarre meaning hidden behind them.

• Humpty Dumpty is probably King Richard III of England, who fell from his horse and was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
• In London Bridge is Falling Down they refer to a wooden bridge that burned down in medieval times.
• Ring a ring o' roses is about the Black Death, or bubonic plague, which swept across Europe in the 14th century.
• Little Bo-Peep was known in 1364 reflecting England's sheep farms and great wool trade.
• Hickory Dickory Dock rhyme keeps the Celtic language alive which was spoken long before English in England.
• Baa, baa, black sheep has the division of the bags. This is said to refer to the export tax on wool, in wool trade, imposed in 1275.
• Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top serves as a warning to the proud and ambitious, who climb so high that they generally fall at last.
• Jack and Jill went up the hill refers to the failure of a plan to marry Queen Mary I to the King of France.
• Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet refers to Mary, Queen of Scots, as Little Miss Muffet and the Presbyterian preacher, John Knox, as the spider.

Aren't they quite abstract ? Lets teach our kids every fact knowing their historical background, that would be much helpful for them in a long run.

Size Matters

Pregnancy does enormous changes to mummy’s body.

She swells like a pumpkin right from day one of pregnancy. She eats eats eats paying no regard to the bathroom scale. She enjoys admiring herself with big protruding tummy in front of the mirror. When considering the well-being and growth of her baby, her gigantic body size, highly pigmented skin tone, engorged breasts, plumy feet, broadened hips, opened up belly button, bulgy bums all these do not matter to her very much. Moreover, she consoles herself by saying these as the “Beauty of Pregnancy”.

But tables are turned after delivery.




Along with the baby’s arrival comes post-natal depression and baby blues for the mummy. She becomes too emotional and sensitive. Her body weight adds up to her raging temperament.

She constantly strives to increase her baby weight and to decrease her body weight. She stands in front of the mirror and wonders what has happened to her reflection? She examines every flaw, bulge and sag. She seems to be looking still 4 months pregnant. She feels gross and huge. She yearns for her youthful body…

The advertisements about slimming therapy, weight loss massage, pills, waist belts seem to be shouting too loud in her ears. She feels too big enough to be worthy. Failing to get back into pre-pregnancy clothes adds insult to her injury. She just hates to buy dress marked as ‘L’ or ‘XL’. All that she wears now are Baggy T-Shirts, big pants, poo coloured tops and nothing attractive …… She was a pride owner of a thin figure. But not anymore…….and it seems like nevermore…..

The brand new mummy described here in terms of ‘She, she, she ……’ is applicable to every mummy as ‘I,I,I……’

Come on mummies, cheer up. We can make it up.

“When we have the power to create a life in 40 weeks even while sleeping, imagine what we can create with our lives while we are awake!”
