Playgroup

We are joining a playgroup this week! I hope my son is as excited as I am. He's a social little thing, so I'm pretty sure he would love it. He's turning 17 months soon and I feel this would really help his social development.

We were worried about what would happen to his social and language development when we moved here, with just his parents around. If we had stayed back in Maldives, he would have been surrounded by his (huge) extended family and friends. But luckily, our fears were unfounded, as he had a healthy 16-20 word vocabulary before his first birthday. I think reading and singing helped a lot. His dad would even read to him his journal articles. And when we were alone during daytime, he was my audience for my own cookery shows, cleaning shows, etc. The flair for acting and singing and general monkeying around blossoms when you have a baby, don't you agree? Where was I? Ah yes, Playgroups. We start on Friday. Can't wait.

Hello (cyber) world!

Welcome to the newest MUM blog in town! I've thought about starting a blog ever since I got pregnant. Wanted to share my thoughts, fears and experiences through out pregnancy and motherhood. But being the procrastinator that I am, I've managed to wait till now. My son is a year old now. Not only am I great procrastinator, I am an optimist too (some would call that daydreaming though), so here goes. Hopefully this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship with the cyber world.
