After 13 years, I decided to restart the blog today. I used to enjoy writing so much that I simply cannot fathom why I stopped and why for so long!
At 16 and 6'2", my son is now in the 11th grade. At 13 and 5'7" (2 inches more than me π ), my daughter is now in her 8th grade. With personalities as different as chalk and cheese, we are now past the pooping and peeing milestones, to board exams, cricket league, drama classes, piano progressions and more.Each day is made more beautiful with changes that come with growth, peer pressure, OTT influence, personal choices, hormones, and just for kicks behavior.
After decade+ of parenting and the testing pandemic times, it still is an intuition based skill, that should be married with lots of patience, loads of listening, and some logic. And the magic potion is still love π.
I will post some throw back to make up for the lost time; so there can be back and forth in the timeline for the next few months π.

AHHHHHH!!! SOMEONE ALERT THE PRESS!!!!
In all seriousness, though, mom: I love you. And I love this blog post! I remember that one day, before COVID and stuff, back when I was on my second phone, and you told me you had a blog. I remember reading it. I remember Luving It. And I remember remembering how much I love you. This blog is very similar to its predecessor that way.
(BTW I love the pic you used for this.)
Thanks dear. It’s crazy though that you are able to read it now!! During the last post, you were still deciding whether to drool or burp during your free time ππ€ͺ
Great start! Looking forward to seeing more :-) A big fan of your writing skills :-)
