Children are from heaven

Need to start shopping for stuff. I’m now beginning to notice baby stuff that I was never so much interested in before. Nappies? Baby shirts? Warm clothing? Diapers? Accessories? Hair pins? Hats? Socks? Baby pins? Soft toys? Rattles? Pillows? Do we buy or borrow a cot? What kind of bath tubs and toilet training stuff do we get? How about carriers and car seats and swings. I’ve told my dad to fix a thottil in the house in Kandy. This is a cotton saree that is tied to the ceiling and will hold and rock the baby to sleep. It’s also supposed to be perfectly hygienic (as apposed to urine soaked mattresses), extremely comfortable and also good for the babies rapidly growing body. Sometimes I wonder whether we are on fast forward mode. However four months will pass in the blink of an eye and being the well organized and planned person I am ihave learnt that its always better to be prepared than sorry…. Getting things done in advance is always much better that being late unless of course its food that will get spoilt.
