Arsh is a year old now

Arsh got a year old.Aah at times it seems the year has been soo long since taking care of Arsh ,and the other time it seems time has fled in a wink.
He is growing fast.These days he is trying to walk so his efforts are to balance his steps though he can walk calmly holding my hand.And the feeling watching him walk is defintely beyond expression.A small human being who was not even able to hold his head is getting ready to take on the world.But yes he is little late to walk...curtesy the winters due to which we don't let him try a lot and moreso he doesn't has patience to take little steps and thus prefers to crawl fast and take the thing which he wants.Arsh learned to crawl by the end of his seventh month.So was always running after cars,shoes,and all the newer things coming in his path.At the same time he had started standing taking a support also.A difficult phase since he would fall a lot never being able to approximate which step will hurt him.So dear Ma'ma had literally got mad.
Then the month long break in Arsh nani's house was fabulous.Learned how our parents dealt with us,and might a understanding to control the things.That phase also helped me to understand Arsh as a person.How Arsh understands what to do and not to do by gauging my face reactions.An awesome experience.
Now, Arsh's undertsanding is increasing.Its quite fascinating that every animal looks to him a boo means doggie.He enjoys throwing things down n then seeing the reaction and the sound.A menace as he wants to keep things from where he took them..and gets quite stubborn for that.Distracting him from something is really a task..swearly.You end up feeling ki lets give him that and have a peace of mind.And my mind says hey you cannot get fooled down.Every key is a car key for him by default and if you test about the things learned,he will just show them by turning his eyes towards it.Lazy or may be intelligent not to utilise his energy in lifting his hands to point towards it.And defintely moody that he will say hello,bye etc according to his mood.and if somebody brings some gift...God instead of wishing or atleast giving a small smile...Arsh will embarass us by putting his full attention on the gift not even blinking his eyes...aah
I think , now the real calmness n parenting starts .Quite a tedious task as today's children are really naughty.We at our age used to be sooo good,innocent..and i have our parents affidavit for it.And now...no words.But is really cute when he knows cars,key,tea,moon and keep mubbling maema,bookiya in his loudest pitch.
The funniest portion is his dad...poor chap has to work all day in office and has to work again after getting back to home.His weekends are more hectic than weekdays curtesy Arsh and his Mom.Arsh in his usual self doesn't want to sit for a minute and Arsh's mom wants rest and has to follow up lot of other things too.So Arsh with his dad making him on his toes always....with his grandparents following them in a bid to help .Quite a scene.....to laugh about.And the best part whenever i'm irritated with Arsh's dad ....now i can have a sweet revenge in form of Arsh...wow what a relief.Arsh's dad cannot dare to mess with me.
But yes the real parenting will teach us a lot and will make us respect and love our parents more....who defintely really tolerated us for sooo long and remained patient for that.

Hi Amy.....yr writing is too good as if i'm watching a good movie. It connects thruout and at the end oh why only this much....REALLY U MAKE IT VERY VERY INTERESTING. Firt year is always Mom's struggle and then automatically he will enjoy Pop's company. Poor Dad, please don't send yr tantrums to him. Thank God somone on his side! Yr last two lines r very touchy rather awakening to me. I had tears in my eyes...in our hectic life v totally forget about our parents, take them granted.....from niow onwards everyday i'll spend some (may be very little) good quality time with them. Thanks for helping in this determination.
