Dear Guddu:
Last weekend, you came with mamma pappa to Mulund, to mamma's colleague's (Archana) place. You slept well and we left cheerfully at 5:30 PM for a drive that would be around 45 minutes. Just when we left, Archana called and told us it had rained a lot at Mulund - we thought, ok, 45 minutes will become 60 minutes and went on. We drove and it started raining, it rained and drizzled and rained, we drove on and reached halfway by 6:15. And then the tarffic was jammed - it stayed jammed, and we had to turn back, take a fresh route and go on. We did not want to turn back as it would have been a painful trek back. We reached at 8:3PM - three hours for a 45 minute drive - amazing na ...
But what really was amazing was you - you were the best behaved baby ... no tanturm at all. Mamma and you in the back seat. You had a biscuit and some fruit - then you kept asking for biscuit calling it "bitta". You pottied also, and stayed put in your diaper without a murmur. Baby, you really showed us you knew that we were in the middle of nowhere - no cribs nor cries, just sat back and babbled, whimpered a bit, but overall ok. Then we reached Mulund.
Special concession for you because of your good behaviour - mamma pappa allowed you to stay up late .. really late ... Once we got to Arachana's flat, you settled down to doing masti - you looked around, were offered toys and started playing around. You happily began playing with Radha, even sometimes, pushing her. You walked around, had dal rice, played with Radha's toys as if those were yours, and tried to impress Archana ... And finally, after 11:45 we left.
At 11:50, the back seat of the car had one person awake (mamma) and one tiny occupant fast asleep (YOU !!!). We reached home by 12:30 - you slept throughout the drive, then through the rest of the night and, thankfully, some part of the morning ...
All in all, we saw you enjoyed the play session. And you behaved so well during the entire trip, mamma pappa thouroughly impressed with you.
Love
Pappa
