Gowri is found everywhere in the house. That little imp is so fast it is hard to get hold of her.She crawls pretty quickly for a baby that small. She wants to jump out of the hand go away.
I have always been meaning to note down their small and big milestones, so here they are before they fade out of my memory

Letting go of her..
It is already that time when Amu is starting school - well not really school but play school ( a montessori).
It took me a good two months to digest the fact that she is infact ready to go to School. In the mean time the slot we had for 2 half days in the morning was gone. Frankly, deep down I was happy that I did not have to send her there, until my husband came up with the "brilliant" idea of sending her to School in the afternoon.
My mind tells me she will thrive and blossom out there but my heart aches to let go of my baby!!
I try to hide my tears to show a brave front but this really is a baby. She is just two and half. That's still a baby isn't she?
Being pragmatic does not seem to work. I can't let go of her. When she took her teacher's hand and walked off to her classroom, I felt miserable but was happy at the same time. She did look back to make sure I was still around, that made me very happy.
She has her own world and is taking small steps into it... away from me? I will be waiting for the time when she wants me and will always be there for her...

Amuktha started school
This probably was one of the saddest days of my life. I sent my little one away to school. I never thought we would get to this point so quickly.
The worst part is she never even blinked. She took her teachers hand and happily walked away. That's it? No emotional hug? No looking back to see if amma is still there?No searching for amma? I cried when letting go of her. I really did.
But maybe it was a relief to see her go away so happily, cos it tells me she really likes it.
Gowri, her dad and I were there to drop her off at school and Gowri and I stayed with her for a while.
She was totally engrossed in all the activities going on.
I hope she likes all her future schools just the same.
God bless you my little one!!!
