Sowmya's Blog... The Voice of a Girl!!!

  Since the past few days, I was talking about things like patience, perseverance, kindness and more such important traits that I wish to inculcate in my little ones through my little moral stories, which I spun around my sleeping baby. Today is no different. So, I thought I will help my little Samyu learn the most mesmerizing magic word - “ THANK YOU .” For this, I choose the week after Thanksgiving day, as she told me about thanking her teachers and support staff back at her school by giving some flowers and cards. So, I quickly prepared the background for my sleeping baby, who eventually got up during our photo shoot to enjoy a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal, with her good friend the Minnie Mouse.           After clicking a few adorable sleeping baby pictures I along with my little Samyu started spinning a small story, which ended up like this. Title of the story: Being Thankful Characters:  The little baby, Minnie Mouse, little girl, mother. Story                

                My little baby doll is a hundred days old today, so I decided to take her to a ride at the beach and hang out for a while. And it turned out to be like this. She relaxed merrily and we could click some cute pictures of my baby doll.    Then I along with my little Samyu spun a tale around our little love, which ended up like this. Title of our Story :  The Relaxing Rockstar🎸 Characters: Baby rockstar, the good witch, cute princess, sister   Story                Once upon a time, there lived a cute baby princess 👸, who loved music 🎶. She wanted to play all the musical instruments 🥁🎻and so started practicing every instrument she came across. Looking at the passion of the princess, a kind witch, who loved music🎶 too, gave her a green guitar 🎸, when the princess 👸 is on her swing in her garden and vanished immediately.               The baby princess never saw such a lovely stringed instrument till then. So she could not play it. She took

                    On Diwali, after having fun burning the crackers, my little Samyu looked for the moon in the sky, but could not find it. The next morning she got up and saw the sun and told that she did not find the moon during the night.  When asked she could clearly differentiate the night sky and the day sky but did not know why there is no moon or what will sun help us with.                      As I believe in the fact that stories are not just designed for entertainment, but also to simplify few proved facts in a funny way, I decided to introduce my little Samyu to a bit of astronomy. So I started dressing up my darling doll as the brilliant Sun, and it turned to be like this.                 Then to accomplish, what I wanted to do, I started spinning a tale around the same. And this is what I ended up with. Title:                              The Story of the Sun🌞 and its family ... Characters : Baby sun, planets, mommy, little girl. Story                  

         Imagining how a Halloween dress up would look like on my baby doll, I started doing my bit and this is how it ended up. My little darling looked lovely as a pretty baby witch. Samyu enjoyed looking at the pictures of her sister as a little witch and to satisfy her curiosity, we had to make few good stories.          I told her a story of the  Jack-o-lantern  and as she wants to listen more of them, we started spinning a tale. But to my surprise, this time my little Samyu created and completed the story with all grace. This is a Halloween tale my little Samyu spun around her little sleeping sister, kwhich left me surprised at her little brains.  Here is the Tenth story in my sleeping baby series coming from my little munchkin. Title of the Story:  The Baby Witch 🧙‍♀️ and the little girl 👧  Characters : Baby witch, little girl, mother Story            Long long ago, following the Halloween day, a group of witches started flying back to their castles in t

            I still don't know if babies can dream, but I dreamt a dream for my little baby, where she flies on a beautiful and a magical horse, the superhero in most of the fantasy tales, the unicorn. And my imaginations turned out to look like this.              Then I started spinning a tale around my sleeping baby for my sweet Samyu and this is how it went. Title of the Story: The Kind Little Baby👶 and the yellow horned Unicorn 🦄 Characters: Mother, sister👧, Little baby👶, Goofy🐕, yellow horned unicorn🦄 Story                           Long long ago, in a small cottage🏡 near the forest, lived a sweet little baby👶, with her mother, father, and a sister👪. She used to enjoy playing with her sister👧. The sisters 👭 had few sheep🐑, fishes🐠, and a rabbit🐇 as their pets. But they always wanted a flying horse🦄 as a pet, and so one day during dinner🥘, the sisters👭 asked their parents💑 for a flying horse, which could become their pet.                

                                         The other day while sitting on the couch at my mom's place, I was looking at some beautiful greens, which are decent and potted well. At the same time, unlike her nature, I saw my little Samyu ripping off the petals of a colorful flower. So, I thought I should tell my little love that it is not a fair thing to do and so imagined something like this. And this is how it turned out. And this is the tale I spun around my sleeping baby for my little Samyu. Title of the Story:                        Flower child and the Cursed girl Characters: a little girl, the hare, Mother Nature, flower child. Story                     Once upon a time, there lived a little girl who was very playful. She looked very pretty but was very harsh towards nature and greens.

                              I always doubt if babies really dream while sleeping, but looking at their cute little innocent face, we can start imagining several things. Today, I imagined my little love enjoying a snowy night but my little darling has grown more than her age. And now my imagination gave life to a little old lady, whom my daughter called the Granny in Snow. Now here is my tale around this pretty little granny in the snow for my Samyu. Hope you love this small story spun for my sweet Samyu. Title of the Story: Squirrel and the 👵  granny in snow ❄️ Characters : an old woman, squirrel Story              Once upon a time, there lived an old woman, who is kind and generous but poor.

On a cold night when it is raining snow, ❄️ the little squirrel could not stand the cold any longer a

                          Imagination is the key to keep the creativity flowing and stories are a brainchild of one's imagination. Stories can not only build in creative interests in kids but will also help in developing love, sharing, forgiving and helping nature in kids, which I believe are the key ingredients of a happy living. Here is a bit of my imagination, while my baby is sleeping.               Now as I am doing it for a few days, here is a small story spun around my imagination to keep my intriguing little love, Samyu, occupied with her thoughts and learn something out of it. Title of the Story: Rob and the 👶Baby Corn Cob 🌽 Characters: Baby 👶 corn cob 🌽, Rob the squirrel 🐿, Story                     Once upon a time, there lived a little girl 👧, who loved gardening.

 " Despite having a million things to do, it is very difficult to look away from a sleeping baby."                     I see this quote truly makes sense with time. I see myself more fascinated with my sleeping baby, who just pulls me more towards her as a tiny magnet. her innocent face helps me imagine several things. So, here is what I imagined this time and this is how it looked.  As usual, after this, I started thinking of a tale to tell my little Samyu. But this time it was a bit different. My sweet little sleeping baby just woke up to hear the tale and started to sparkle her killer smile, as it was her dad, who started weaving a story around her for our little Samyu.  And the story goes like this... Title of the Story: The Baby Arab and the Camel 🐪 Characters: Baby Arab, camel 🐪, the bad guy. The Story                Once upon a time there lived a baby Arab, who was very good and friendly.

                  Aqua life is one of the most remarkable and diverse creations in nature. The vast number of flora and fauna seem spectacular. Introducing the aqua life to children through an aquarium or some toys or by encouraging them to watch it on the television can help them understand the diversity of life. The other day my little Samyu was playing with one of her octopus toys while eating and was waiting for a story like every day.                   Then I suddenly remembered a story about an octopus. I quickly thought about re-telling a story by including some fun facts about the octopus and by creating an imaginary picture with my little one. So, I quickly did this with my little love and spun a tale.  Title of the Story: The Octopus 🐙 and a Pearl Oyster   Characters: Octopus, an Oyster, the pretty baby pearl The Story                       Once there lived an Octopus in the deep blue sea 🌊.

            Do babies dream while sleeping? They sparkle an involuntary smile as well as a smirk in their sleep as if they are in their own dreamland. Looking at my pretty princess sleeping happily and doing the same, I thought she was in her own dreamland. I then decided to imagine my own dreamland, dress her up and spin a tale around my sleeping baby for my little Samyu, who is extremely fascinated by the small stories I tell to feed her and to put her to sleep.  I always wanted to tell the story of a butterfly 🦋 which develops from a caterpillar 🐛 as it has several life lessons to learn. So I quickly dressed up my sleeping baby like this and started to spin my tale around the pictures. The baby queen My Lovely Butterfly Title of the story: The baby queen 👸 and the butterfly 🦋 Characters : The baby queen, sister, 👸  mother🤱, a soldier and a butterfly🦋                                                                                 The Story

               Babies are always adorable and a sleeping baby is more like a doll - cute enough to stare at and lovely to cuddle with. No wonder one can spend hours together looking at one such sleeping baby. They can also be turned into beautiful memories if one can imagine things. And here is the life to my imagination. This is all that I did with my little love while she was busy sleeping and dreaming in her own imaginary land. And then I started to spin a tale around this picture of my cute sleeping baby, simply to please my sweet little Samyu.

                Bedtime can be considered as one important piece of time we tend to spend with our kids.
