A New Beginning

Tumble Tots

2010-12-01T10:06:00.000-08:00

We were suddenly struck by the realisation that apart from us, Shantanu doesn't know anyone and is seriously lacking social interaction. It's been 3 weeks now since we started taking Shantanu to a playgroup called Tumble Tots. This is the only outing where he gets to interact with tots his age.

He was naturally overwhelmed at the first class but the next two were pretty smooth. He has made a couple of friends now and is okay with one to one interaction. He still needs one of us at his side throughout the session.

It was a big achievement for us today to reach the premises, given the foot deep snow and the disrupted transport. We made it in time before the session. Reaching there we found out only a couple more kids had managed to come. The ride back home was long and tiring one. The bus didn't come and we waited and waited. Then, we waited some more. We took a different route then where we had to change buses and by the time we reached home it was noon already. Hubby was in two minds whether to go to office or not. I had asked him to stay back as it was impossible to take out the pram in this climate.

Shantanu, however, wasn't very keen on playing today. There weren't many kids around and he seemed irritated with the instructors. He also refused to sit in the group songs along with the other kids and instructors. Any advice?

A new beginning

I am back. Back to blogger and starting over. Why revive this blog? I got bored. The other blog is still thriving and will be updated. This one though is just to note my random thoughts when am completely at peace with myself.

Life in Edinburgh is quite peaceful and let me put this on record, I do not mind retiring here and spending my old days in front of the fireplace. Good food, friendly people and a stunning location, what more do you need?

The seasons are fantastic. You can actually notice the change. I have already experienced summer and autumn and am now freezing in the cold and snow. This is my first experience of a snowfall and god it was amazing. It started snowing at night. The sky was such a slight pink. It was the colour of my son when he was just born. After some time when the snow had accumulated, it reflected a beautiful yellowish pink and it was all bright in the middle of the night. Every night when I wake up in between, I look outside the window to watch the snowfall. It is so serene like watching the rain minus the noise. Rain has its own beauty but am beginning to like the snowfall too. :)
