Being mama again

I was very anxious about meeting Tarana after 5 weeks - will she remember me? Will she come to me? I hope her first reaction wouldn't involve crying! Robin sent me a loving email telling me to not feel too bad if T doesn't recognise me - he talked about children's short memories! A colleague told me to stay cool ."Sabai, Sabai", she said! All this consoling was only making me more anxious.

The moment I saw her I realised how much I had missed her. She came to me immediately, though over the last two days I have realised that she is certainly more comfortable with my mom. There are some things - like having a bath - that she wants to do only with my mom.

She has grown up so much in just a few weeks. She behaves like a little girl now - playing with makeup, getting her hair done, demanding attention, walking all over including up and down the stairs - I can't believe that she is only a year old.

It was nice to be home for holi yesterday and Tarana totally loved playing with messy colours.
