When I heard the I hear thunder rhyme, I had stunned eyes. I recalled knowing that rhyme.

Third teeth

I saw a grey spot on the top gum and worried. What could it be? May be new teeth. I had missed my daughter's first pair of teeth. Already the dentist advised using gauze to care for baby's teeth.

Role playing and Rhymes

My daughter likes playing with some pots and pans left in the bottom cabinets. I was then reminded of how giving her a spatula would encourage play. She did something like mixing he imaginary ingredients. Inspired by that, I fed her and me, what she had just made.
In Aakesi Pappesi rhyme style, I asked her to share the yummy food with her father, which she just had it her herself.
English rhymes in Hindi are good but the one, two buckle my shoe loses its end rhyme. And what of the culture in a rhyme during translation. Should you translate it into the local or retain that of the source?

Orion magazine

A surprise find on parenting
City or country
Rules that come into Play

Parents magazine had a mention of boar bristle brush. That took me to Varaha. I want to tell my kid, the mythology that I read as a kid. This will lead me to newer stories. I need to partition them as smaller stories. Telling children stories

Mystery of sleep. What do i know the time I thought I didnt sleep might not have been long.
Pen and oink
I have seen what reminds me of the steel of cloths peg in India. Its a Wheelo said the colleague.

Walking wings

I was talking to a mom. You know how it is. Mothers worried about their kids walking, talking and teeth.
So I heard of Walking wings and imagined some sort of pink wings for girl kind of fancy stuff that you just let them believe helps you walk like it could make you fly. But to sell the magic, they need to grow a bit more I guess.
