Edir neechal :)

Mom said I kept praying to Lord Ganesha to help me achieve other milestones at the right time. It seems I used to bribe Him with Kozhakattais. After all, He was my boss…and so, on 19 March, I achieved my second milestone…doing neechal, i.e., Moving forward with the help of hands, feet and stomach. My prayers payed and here I was moving on. Mom spread a blanket for in the living room so I could get enough space to move in all directions. She wanted to cushion me against any danger (fall), so she folded the blanket into four so that even if I did hit the ground, it would be soft for me and not hurt…my sweet mom. She doesn’t want me to get even the slightest hurt. Patti says getting little hurt is good for me as it will help me in future, but mom will not listen and patti does not force. But mom does lose her temper…and when she does…hell breaks lose. Though those times, I wonder what’s wrong with her…because at other times she is so loving, so caring. She plays with me, talks with me, hugs me often, kisses me…I cannot complain. But once she cools down after getting angry, she feels very guilty and cries. She always apologises and says that she will never do it in future…but she never keeps her promise J
