Yet another week goes by

If I have to announce my last ten days  in Sun TV style  then it goes like “Idhu Over Clingy Vaaram (The most clingy week)”. My son is finding me aka amma more delicious and appealing that he never wanted to part from me. He had cold and I thought he was coming down with fever. Phew.That never happened.  Thank god for that. He hated me spending time in kitchen and was bawling for everything. He would just hug my legs and never let me go. His cries stopped instantly when I pick him up or just be with him in the same room. Life would be really easy if I have another set of hands to help me during the day especially when NR longs for warmth and company.

I managed to sneak out last week to see Eat, Pray, love. I liked the movie. It’s kind of movie I like to watch - a chick  flick with happy ending. No fire alarms  this time and I managed to smuggle my favorite tea made by “World’s best Tea maker” aka CB.

A good friend/colleague of mine decided to drop in on Friday with her two sons.  We had good time catching up. NR and her 5 year old had good time . NR was super comfortable with him . When it was time to leave, he refused to go home and wanted to stay for couple of hours more.  I need to arrange more play dates with such 5 year old kids.  Thanks to her sweet one year old boy I relived my one year old phase with him. We had a lively Friday afternoon thanks to her and little boys.

 I seldom take naps during the day after NR’s birth. When they left around 4.00pm NR and me took a long 3 hr nap. I love such special times that  SAHM  life  gives me, cuddling NR and sleeping just like a baby. Poor Appa came home early to a quiet home.

I forced CB to go for the movie "Inception". He doesn’t take any time for himself after NR’s birth. The little guy accompanies him everywhere except for the barber shop. So, he went with our friend to “Inception” last Saturday night (after me and NR went to bed). He never liked the movie. He doesn’t like chick flicks but felt Eat, Pray and Love would have been  better choice than Inception.

We went for annual summer picnic hosted by CB's company. We have been taking NR to this picnic every year since he was just three months old baby .  NR went to nap at 3.00pm right when the picnic was due to start. We went to picnic around 6.00pm after he woke up and reached the venue right in time for the raffle.NR had great time at the park . He  loved his choo choo Train ride and the Herschell-Spillman Carrousel ride couple of times. The company provided us with deluxe bracelets so  we stayed  till the park closing hours.

And we might have scored the “IPAD” hat trick during the picnic. The grand prize for the raffle was IPAD.  CB won paid day off (the next best prize to IPAD) in the raffle just before the grand prize drawing. Momma and son are happy to have Appa to ourselves for one more day.  

I will have a relaxed phase for next three days (Labor Day long weekend) after ten days of marathon clinging by NR. I’ll have another set of hands – his loving appa who is eager and willing to spend every waking minute with his son. And that gives Amma her  needed “ME” time to do some special project this weekend.

Have fun filled Labor Day weekend.
