With the maid suffering from viral fever, we are trying to keep the kids increasingly around us at home - they sleep with us (both had shifted to the "kids" bedroom especially on weekdays when they need to wake up early for school, the maid sleeps in that room too), and the bathing and feeding rituals have been completely overtaken by us once again. My kitchen duties have increased too.
On Sunday, the kitchen was partly closed especially for lunch and we had a lovely lunch at Kumarakom restaurant here.
We feel a bit sad that our babies are no longer babies but little individuals with a mind of their own and who are functioning more and more independently. Mira excuses herself and prefers the comfort of her own bed, she gives a different reason each day . V is most reluctant to let go.
Their comments take us by surprise most times. If yesterday Ash asked me why he should be having just 3 pairs of footwear when I had eight or that I should "download" songs to my mobile, today he asked me as I turned for a moment to look at the mirror while getting him ready for school: "What Amma? Are you looking at your saukaryam (saundaryam = beauty) in the mirror?"
