Hola...
Welcome to a new Monday. New day, new promises, new challenges and of course a new you. No matter we might feel nothing around has changed yet, a new day brings with itself everything new.
This week is looks pretty hectic to me. Lots of things need to be taken care of and oh yes, it's my S's birthday next week and i have tons to things to assemble. This excited mom has made some simple yet special plans to make that day a bit memorable.
Life rushes when we are busy running to make something memorable. It's those moments that go down the way to make the journey historic. We often think we are celebrating our child's birthday or of our kids but the way they look at things are completely different from how we perceive. With every birthday they are more developed than the last year, with upgraded thoughts and ideas and of course with umpteen number of questions. In my case the way of celebration is also opinionated. Children these days have their favorite cartoon characters and some of them want their party supplies to be based on those characters. Well, i have long back offered my apologies saying that i cannot run or walk that extra mile to get that exact character swirls or balloons or that Birthday badge. It will always be a nice small celebration which may not be grand but it will be sweet.
This year too i am not planning anything huge but our all time emphasis on the taste of the cake. Even though a Bengali, i feel my sweet tooth is somewhere hidden and occasionally pays a visit. So i will try to explore my neighborhood to find a nice, not overtly sweet cake. Yes, i can get his favorite character on the cake top too unless its an animal. When he was around three he insisted on Daniel the Tiger's face on the cake and i almost went berserk looking for a good baker who could bake such. I thing i took the vow shortly after that.
Well, let's see how things spice up this year. For today's lunch it was his all time Soya bean rice with some carrots. I at times try to replicate those soya nuggets with baby potatoes or minced meat balls, but as i said with every birthday wisdom and intelligence is quickly triumphing over mommy's trick. This mommy surely needs to buckle up. His snack is almost static with fruits and yoghurt.
More talk tomorrow. Take care and take rest....
