So P came home with the news on Monday that she has been chosen the class monitor! Yay!! I was so proud of her. For her class she is the first monitor ever coz in grade 1 they dint have monitors. When I asked her what her role was, she said she has to manage the other monitors. Power monitor, line monitor, table monitor, book monitor…… 😳 I was like wow! In our times one monitor and the house leaders did everything. Here they have a monitor for everything!! Sounded pretty cool to me coz it seemed like she is the CEO of her class with other managers below her 😁

I remember a few moments which really made me proud of her before this. Like her first Kathak performance or her first performance on stage when she was in pre primary. Or when she made me a birthday card all by herself. I won’t be wrong if I say this on behalf of all other moms that the little achievements also make us feel like our children have climbed a peak! 

We were at her grade 1 school production. P was in a minion dance and so was one of her very good friend. Her parents were sitting beside us and when the performance got over we both moms were wiping our eyes and the dads was laughing at us! I guess once we are moms we can cry at the drop of a hat… dam those hormones! But sometimes we can be the stronger one too. It gives us moms some greater inner strength in the time of crisis and somehow we manage to emerge the stronger one. Like a tigress protecting her cubs. Havnt we all experienced this? Koi mere bachche ke bare mein kuch bol ke to dekhe. Zubaan kheench loongi!!
