A matter of perspective

This is what one of my (happily) single (so far)friends tells me when I crib about my life. She infact suggests that I come stay with her, to get that "perspective". But believe me, nothing drives that point home better than something like this
While I hope desperately that that little girl gets better, I cant but help count my blessings with Sanjana. A VSD is nothing to this, honestly.

Another aspect of becoming a mother is you have something other than a passing birthday to remind you that you are growing old. You have your childs birthday to do that for you, and very effectively, I may add. Sanj is growing so fast! And now that she is extremely adept at grabbing things that she wants,, what strikes me is the confidence with which she reaches out to anything that grabs her attention. The plate mom holds is for her. No one could think of refusing her the TV's remote control. Or dad's mobile phone. Or anything. The idea that something is not for her has never entered her mind. She moves wiht an unrestricted confidence in what she deserves. Which is pretty much everything. And I hope and hope that thats something she never loses. Sanju, yours is the world and everything thats in it. And may it always remain that way.

There are many libraries sprouting dime-a-dozen in metros where they have kids books too ...and you can get access to many many books at say 100-150 per month ..

dont stop buying for your kid just because spouse says its not worth it !...

No chance of my doing that! But Sanj seems to have lost interest in books offlate. How old is your kid and what books do you read for him/her?
