Welcome to parenthood.

I woke up at 6 in the morning and made beetroot palya and bendekai palya packed lunch, snack and all the other things in the list (Yes,I made a list)for my 17 month old and hubs.
Oh I also boiled eggs and vegetables(seperately).
Whew.... Whew..Whew...
If you do all these activities everyday stop reading right now.(well you probably would'nt be reading it in the first place if you were this busy.or unless I cornered you in a gettogether or something and made you read the blog right away.)
Anyways since last year and half (approximately) after I had the baby I have had people help me out( I can see me husband smirk)..Fine, I am not good at lying so, here I go, I have had my mom and my MIL do a lot of stuff around the house..(everything?) for us.Yeah I know , many of the DIL's raising their brows, but my MIL's good.No if's but's pauses etc.She's just really good.Both of them took charge of the complete household chores and all I had to do was to go to work come back and take care/play with my son.My MIL infact left me some atakkuntu lekkakilla(minimal amount) type dishes of to clean in the night so I dont have to feel guilty about making her do all the work.
In my defense I did try to do the stuff.You know how the parents are right? Esp Mom's they do everything for you and they crib/pity.If you are busy they feel bad that" My lil one is so busy", if you are not busy they worry about "You not having a job".You get the picture right.So my Mom would say how difficult it is for a woman to work and manage home and told me to relax and I exactly did the same for the last 6 months.

Anyway since my mom left this weekend we havent switched on the TV.( I have to admit its kind of boring).
Hubby darling who would roll his eyes whenever my mom gave parenting advice (Dont get me wrong ,He is a really really nice man but you know how it is with this generation people,they never want to listen to anybody.)hasnt even shown the slightest inclination of touching the remote.My lil one was a little cranky at the airport while she was leaving , but now he seems to be really enjoying the undiveded attention from both of us.My beet root palya came out well but bendekai had a little (too much )salt.

My Son is slowly taking over our bed.We dont know how to make him sleep in his crib.Now he doesnt even cry when he wakes up in his crib in the night.
He calls us,either shashesh(for shailesh) or Ammas for -Amma or shailesh whoever is goign to get up.(which is usually him if its before 2 and me if its after 3AM.I am a morning person and he is not).

Its like a ritual for us.We put him into his bed after he is asleep and then he wakes up and calls us from the crib .Its like he is saying "Okay put me back in my place so I can kick you both with my tiny legs which really hurts BTW ". I cant really imagine how a kicks from an adult would really feel.I am no voilent person.I am back to my normal pukkul self since I stopped kickboxing.

I still have the idli hittu, varities of dose hittu and lots of frozen chapthi's in the freezer.So may be I am still not up for the title of soccer Mom.

P.S. Inspite of all the kicking ,scratching eyes(oops I have to cut his nails ..) ,and pulling hair I can not deny that I just cant let him sleep in his crib when he wakes up in the night and I kind of love picking him up and putting him into our bed although its midnight.Parenthood !
