I’d been tagged by Naperville mom & Renu eons ago to attach an image from the picture folder of my computer and share the story behind it.So with out any further dilly-dallying let me proceed. Terribly sorry for this delay,NM & Renu.
Since I spoke so much about the mounting expectations and pressures meted out to my child by me in my previous post I thought I would share these two snaps that I felt,befitted my current predicaments. So,enjoy!
I took the snaps for the sheer way Namnam held the newspaper as though she genuinely found an interesting article to read.This was taken in july last year.
Namnam was so engrossed in knowing what was happening around the world that she was oblivious to the fact that I was clicking her photos!
And then it was as though she suddenly realized that lying down and reading was not something that Amma professed.Hence the pose!
Now do you really blame me for being so paranoid about sending her to a school?C’mon she was the one who asked for it π .
EDITED TO ADD : Oops!I forgot to pass on the tag as is the norm. So,A,Sakshi,Amrita,Goofy Mumma,IHM,Indyeah,Nancy,Piper,Sindhu,Ummon,VJ, please take up the tag and let me know when you have done it. If its a tag you’ve done before do send me the link. Would love to see what you had to share.
Oh yes! Namnam is totally ready. π Come on! someone who poses sho sho cutely with a newspaper is ready to take the world.
Kisses to the cutie pie.
D: The kisses have been duly passed on π
