What's in a name?
After much research and debate, my parents finally christened me this week. My dad has been quoted as wondering why I (and babies generally) aren't born with a name tag. My Mom and Bua agree that babies take after their name in attitude, skills and manners. So plenty time needs to be spent christening a baby - giving the baby a gift for life. My grandparents on the other hand have called me by a zillion names - anything really that comes to mind! Sorry, gotta rush...
Yours truly,
Prisha.
Learning for the day - What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet!

My First Book
It was a joyous day for us as I celebrated my first month - new clothes and some extra massage! However, I did not let the day's significance affect my routine. I pooped, peed, fed and dozed with my usual volatility - one that would daze even the most gifted stochastician. The day rolled on and my papa complimented my mum (and himself) on how calm and quiet a baby I appeared to be [chuckle]. Later on in the day, as I was relaxing on my papa's lap, he picked up a book with a yummy looking piece of "colostrum" stuck on it. I said to myself "quelle treat!", but despite several attempts, was unable to grab it. I suppose it had gone bad anyway...that's why it was so thin!
Learning for the day - Don't judge a cheese by just it's colour (squeeze it!) and a book by it's cover (read it!)
