Surfacing…
after close to two months of sleep deprivation parenting…
Baby Berry, who has been given all sorts of names from Chakkarakuttappan (by my Mallu sister-in-law) and Pongalkutty (by A~) to Tintin (by his Pishi), is doing well. He has a new game every day: one morning it is to chase the cat all over the house, the next day it is to go “Woo-hoo-hoo” at poor old Whisky Doggie. His newest thing is to do a cool dance to the Ballelakka song from Sivaji (No, he didn’t see the movie. He hasn’t even seen television yet. We did see the film, but we were so exhausted that we slept through most of the cool dialogues).
Oh, and we need to learn some new lullabies. A~’s been trying “Ae Ganpat, chal so ja,” but I don’t think that quite cuts it.
And yes, it’s all been intense, exhausting, and utterly magical so far.
Welcome to motherhood, Um! I’m just tickled. Now my turn to read Tintin Goldilocks! :)
