How many times have you wished that your babies don’t grow up? But of course….. not that we can do anything about it. They ultimately do. And then you miss all those cuddles and kisses and all those times when you child just wants to stick to you. Well…. I’m that kind of a person. I love to hold them close. P was never the huggy kinds but A loves it. Any time she has 5 minutes to spare she will come running and ask Mamma can we cuddle for 5 minutes? And then make a little puppy face and show me her sweet twinkly eyes and then I just can’t say no! On weekends she comes to my room as soon as she wakes up to check if I’m awake. Mostly I’m in that phase where I’m awake but not out of the bed yet…and she will come into my bed and want to cuddle for a few minutes. The day she doesn’t I actually go and check what happened and where she is. It’s the perfect start to the weekend 😃

As they start growing older all their chubby fat and the kid accent (you know what I’m talking about?) goes away. They start talking like grown ups and become thin! I do not know what’s with becoming thin. They just grow taller and it seems like the fat just keeps getting distributed in the height and they keep looking thinner. They are not loosing weight but the appearance is such. 😕

They don’t have innocent questions any more like “mamma why does the cow poop on the road? Don’t they know to use toilets” or “mamma where does the sun go at night” or stuff like that…..Yeah it’s true that they also talk a little lesser…. No much lesser…. Which you would have wished for them to do when they were little…. So it’s like a vicious circle. When they were little you wished they talked lesser because then it’s non stop but when they grow older you want them to talk more because now they don’t talk any more 😩. That balance doesn’t seem to come.

I have both the worlds with me right now. A is little enough to talk non stop and P is old enough to talk less. So I wish there was a way where they both could distribute the talking easily but…… Am I even making sense?

Things I miss in a little baby

• Soft chubby cheeks
• The way they hold out their arms for you to lift them
• The way they wrap their tiny fingers around yours
• The way silly little things make them laugh
• Their cute baby laughter
• They silly things they say and cute language of their own
• The way they fit into your lap and you can make them comfortable anywhere by just taking them onto your lap.
• Running around the house in the cute baby kind of way
• Playing silly games
• ………..

The list can go on and on. A is in that transition now when’re she stops being cute and seems more grown up. Even though she’s over 9 years now, she still seems like the little baby of the house. I don’t know if that’s ever going to change 😄
