at full speed. Kids have even changed schools in the few months that we've been here. They got admission to the school at the end of our lane, so pulled them out from their older one which was less than 10 minutes walk to put them here. Really, such absurd distances kids have to travel to school here! They seem to like the new one too, though I was a bit skeptical, and this change was quite a difficult one for me. Coz I liked the 10 min walk. Coz the old school had a lot more discipline. Coz I had made a friend there. Coz the kids loved their teacher. Coz they brought back a drawing each day. Coz they had a lovely climbing bar in the ground. Coz it was close to the library and the park.
I do hope I have a lot of Coz of this school too. Now baby was getting bored in the house when the kids were at school. So I have started taking her to the playgroups here. Such a lovely concept. I pay 1.5 pounds for two hours and there are ample toys, snacks and even tea and coffee and biscuits for the moms. Not to mention, a lot of other moms you can chatter away with. The last half hour is filled with rhymes and music with all the moms and dads taking part. Its quite a lot of fun and we even have walking songs where you hold hands with your kids and take them around in a circle singing their favorite songs. Baby loves every minute of it. I love the tea, the conversation and the books that i take along. These groups meet just once or twice a week, so have found three different ones so that I have a playgroup to go to everyday.
And then, we usually walk/drive to the park in the evenings, when the climate is nice and sunny. So that takes care of the rest of the afternoon and evenings. So time is flying and how.
Kids are having a blast and we are too. I think, the right words for any kids are:
lots of play, different places every three hours, good food and relaxed parents. Am I right?
A little bit of tears, a little bit of spice ... a little bit of everything sweet and nice.

KP: relaxed and involved parents always comes first. If that is there, rest will follow don't you think?
Relaxed is the key word i think... Post pics dahlin :):)
KP! you have it all figured out :D maybe you can start a mommy coaching class, especially for those with more than one to handle at a time :)
Hi Anu,
Thats what I thought at first. But as they grow up, the boys seem to need more than me just being there for them! They need the change of places, a lot of rough play, lots of reading, and lots of food!!! So its quite a challenge keeping them occupied the full day so that their energies are channelized constructively. Anyway, yeah, relaxed parents are important, but as they grow up, we parents are expected to have enormous amounts of commitment n energy to keep up with them!!!
meera n prathi: yeah, shall post some pics soon , kids never seem to be still for a minute so keep getting their bums or top of their head!!!
