So this blog is starting off on a good note, as my little one is cooing gurgling and laughing in the background. Is there a sweeter sound than waking up to a content, happy, little baby's coos and laughs? Perhaps only to be surpassed by rising in one's marble palace, to a medley of soft flutes/harps as the dawn rays shine on your face, whilst being fanned by peacock feathers by servants dressed in russet gold (to match the sunrise).
It's only 5 AM but the baby is boss! And he chooses to adhere to the adage "early to bed, early to rise." Babies, number one cause for rise in concealer sales.
There are a couple of floral paintings hanging on the wall in front of me. These he can spend a wonderfully long time (from a mother's perspective) "chatting" to with enthusiasm.
Oh by the way, the blog name refers to both my favourite dessert (pateesa) and one of the nicknames that Littlest has gained. Because he's sweet as a pateesa!
For those who haven't tried (speaking to tumbleweed and crickets here), pateesa is a fantastic South asian version of cotton candy. (There's another one called "BURYA KE BAAL" aka "old ladies' hair, but I don't like that. You won't either, Tumbleweed. It's white and nasty looking, sharpishly-sweet, lacks the powdery softness of pateesa).
Very sweet, light as air, very naughty to finish a whole box of in one go (as i have...often).
Shall I upload a pic? Here it is.
Now then. Is that a good way to end a post?
Blogs are a fab way to share ideas & recommendations, and hook up with like-minded fellows n fellowesses, so lemme throw in a couple of book recommendations. Used to be a voracious reader, but now not so much (Perfection Personified takes up so much of my time!)
-Stephen Leacock's books (pick any). CLASSY CANADIAN COMEDY
-Jerome K Jerome - Three Men in A Boat
They are both light-hearted reads I have loved and come back to yr after yr, whenever I'm in the need of a giggle. Have often woken up irate fellow passengers on flights, laughing like a rabid hyena, at every other passage these contain.
