Few hours of baby sitting

Dear OJji...A pleasure to see your feedback and so was it to read about Archita. Such a sweet name. I tried to picturize her with yellow sari and red blouse. You are not bad with baby hindi!! . Children are gifts from God for sure OJji . It does not stop to amaze me how even a mundane activity can ammuse them and keep them occupied. I have heard stories from a cousin of mine who runs a Child minding service from her home. She has bucket loads of stories to tell us about what the kids did and how they think so differently from our set way of thinking. We tell them to do things a certain way but when they for instance colour a flower in blue and the leaf red, we just need to pause and think, yes why not? It keeps them happy to colour that way so let it be. I loved reading those special lines too that you had quoted. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Monifa dear...Lovely seeing you here and hope you had a fantastic holiday in London. I was really surprised with the Oops Button concept and actually loved it. What a nice way to learn!! Glad you enjoyed reading it.

 

Susri ma..You are so right. Kids are in their best of behaviours when they are not with their parents and in original colours at home. This little missy used to have lots of problem drinking milk at home, but she would always demand a glass of milk whenever she came to our place! My cousin was really surprised and she used to say that she would try and bring her here more often just to make her drink milk...hehehe..But that was when she was smaller. Now she knows the trick. Thank you for the comments.

Mindi dear...I told you that I am an apprentice when it comes to minding kids. So my time management skills are zero. Children these days pick up things quite early on in life these days. I feel sad too seeing them do all these so early but they seem to enjoy. Well, I will take your tip about story reading for the next time. Let me see how that goes. ...and before you suggest any ideas let me hasten to assure you that i am perfectly HAPPY with my neighbor's kids - I laughed at this. You knew exactly what I was going to think about hehehe...Loved it. Thank you dear for stopping by and thank you for the story reading tip. By the way, I do think that the Greek couple incident would be a good ad for BRU instant coffee!!...

 

Pad ma'm...You are the actual reason for this post to be honest. You may have said it casually in the A to Z conversation but I thought it was a brilliant idea then. I was not sure what exactly I would write and how to write but sat down and replayed the incidents through the day and translated them into words and that became my post eventually. So thank you for that and also the feedback here. What you said is exactly what my cousin says too. It reminds me of the quote: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle - by Albert Einstein. I feel as far as kids are concerned everything is a wonder in their life and that is such a beautiful way to look at life. We become a child too in their company.

Gsaikripa...Nice to see you here and thank you for reading. I surely did have a nice time with the little madam and of course the highlight of the day was the Oops button . Still can't get over the thought.
