I'm that someone who is always arguing about how every is friendship day, Mother's Day, Father's Day etc. I have this amazing friend of mine who once surprised me with a bouquet that said 'Happy Everyday' exactly the same time I surprised her with a card that said the very same thing. I love her. I truly believe in everyday being a wonderful day. One day needn't be celebrated, unless one wants to do all the mushy random stuff everyone does. To me, these days are for retailers who wants to sell off those old products and to those innovators who come up with products just to make money.
After Baby G arrived, I quickly fell into the trap of doing these things. I was bent on making his hand and footprints, having a photo shoot of him (by me), dressing him like Krishna on Krishna jayanthi. I wasn't thinking and I don't think I still am. If I see a funky toy he would enjoy, I just buy it. It's like a reflex. Sneeze - excuse me. Cute toy - buy for Baby G. See, reflex.
One of the funniest days was when my cousins visited from the US. I had asked her to get me the kit to making a baby's footprints. When she got them I was so overjoyed. We all as a team immediately got to work and tried hard to get it done. The putty smelled so wonderful and we rolled it and placed it on Gs foot so happily... Waited the two minutes and the damn thing wouldn't come off. We were so shocked that the print didn't come and we tried so much again and again. Finally, 8th time and am honest - it worked.
It was so much fun to sit around and play with the putty. What a wonderful memory it is!
