Book Suggestions
I am not too much into mythology but I prefer panchatantra, Chandamana subscription, Akbar Birbal, Tenali Rama, Buddha at Bedtime, Amar Chitra Kadha.
The kid loves Dr. Suess Books, I personally feel they are too intense in spite of the silly language, so I have a big collection of that which I bought here.
Sudha Murthy - Bird with golden wings, grandmas bag of stories, the magic drum and other stories.

The Big Scare - Allergies
Like I mentioned, I am so much out of touch with babies, raising babies that the image of going back to the diaper days seems like a nightmare :).
While that is the least of the concerns, when I see my friends battling with kids and their allergies it is heart-wrenching to see the kids suffer and being so helpless as a parent, not being able to do anything to alleviate that itch, pain :(
there is this wonderful video on Allergies in Ted Talks, felt it worthwhile to share

Happy New Year
I know my blog baby is being neglected as my baby is getting older... but I have become lazy overall to update any of my blogs...
I have realized it has been a year since I posted anything in this blog, yet it is used by people and I keep getting tiny thank you messages out of the blue when some parents finds something useful, it has been more than fulfilling :).
Happy Parenting!!! and a Happy New Year.
