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

"A dream doesn't have an expiration date."                          I believe in this quote as dreaming can give wings to ones deep buried imaginative thi nking, and at times give birth to the goals.  A dream can become a goal, a goal broken into steps can become a plan and a plan coupled with action makes your dream come true. And here is my imagination as my little baby doll finds her dreams...       After having a small break, I started working again on my sleeping baby series. And as  I dress up my baby doll Saanvi (Yes now she got a name!!!), I suddenly remembered a small story my grandma told me when I was a child. So like always I started sharing it with my Samyu and here it is. Read along and enjoy our small story around my Sleeping baby, Saanvitha. Title of the Story: The daydreaming baby Milkmaid... Characters: Baby milkmaid Story                      Once upon a time, there lived a baby milkmaid, who went out to the grasslands to mil

          My little baby doll, around whom I spun my  sleeping baby tales  is ninety days old now. Time just flies and when I sat right beside her today, I just recollected what all we went through the past three months. I suddenly realized several facts about how my dear one grew during these days. Then I decided to quickly sum up and put in my time and the milestones of my newborn baby - "the mini-boss" in my   blog .          A newborn baby is definitely a tender bundle of joy, who will not only bring in millions of smiles, but also a zillion of responsibilities along with her. Meeting the brand new mini you for the very first time can be the most overwhelming moments in life, which every parent can recall. As time ticks away, one can also recollect the most marvelous fleeting time where these little loves snuggle with you when held comfortably in your arms.          But believe me, there is more to do with having a cute little newborn, so frail and fragile, who need

                                         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. She used to break every tiny twig, pull out all the leaves and crumble flowers from any plant she came across.                    One day as she was playing she came

                              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.

               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. Title of my tale :  The big bunny 🐰  and the beautiful little baby 👶🏻 Characters: Bunny the rabbit 🐇, Mr. Rat 🐀, Ms. Chicken 🐓and, the beautiful little baby 👶🏻.

                Bedtime can be considered as one important piece of time we tend to spend with our kids. A proper bedtime routine will not only help in maintaining our child’s health but can also help them to recharge and wake up well rested with a healthy brain. In order to attain such beauty sleep to your sweetheart, there are no specific hard and fast rules. However, one can build a wonderful bedtime routine by sharing some small bedtime stories, which can be fun and will turn the child's going to bed from a chore into an enjoyable event.              Also, sharing some stories with your little one while going to bed will not only leave you with some sweet memories that can last forever and will help in improving the child's imagination. It can help the child improve on her vocabulary as well and will understand the moral buried deep within each short tidbits. Our Bedtime Routine:                      No matter how tired my little Samyu is at times, she will do anyt

                      Every parent thinks about becoming a grandparent one day. Even with the changing trends in lifestyle, the role of grandparents, both paternal and maternal, remains equal and pretty crucial in a child's life. I consider myself unlucky as I lost mine, but still feel blessed because of my maternal gran , who is undoubtedly an impeccable woman. But, my dear Samyu is lucky as she is gifted to enjoy the affection of her grandparents.                                                        Grandparents often hold a dynamic role in the family and of course in the life of a child. They play with them, protect them, share fun, enlighten their minds, teach them the ethics and values with wisdom than they did as parents and love them to the bits. Though not the direct parents, they are the trusted adults in the family. They  need not willingly be a part of the child care but remain imperative in the process of child's development into a complete individual.  An
