Why mommy loves ...loves parks!!





Sunshine s Mommy loves loves and only  loves ....parks and its nothing but an understatement to define mommy s love for outdoors. How about Baby? ?? hmm Baby is such a good boy he loves everything that mommy loves thank god baby is little and does not really have an opinion yet !! He simply loves staying outdoors :))

So when i was a crawler Mommy would leave me on the green grass to crawl or strengthen my motor skills with a few sand toys and mommy loves the sand more but of course ;-P her excitement to fly to Bombay every other month to visit my Thatha & Patty says it all. Bombay was a combination of Juhu beach and parks. In Bangalore we had a park in the lovely apartment itself 3 parks in fact ...Swing is my favorite, i love the See Saw too Momy loves see saw but of course.... bcos she gets to  humm the nursery rhyme 'see- saw margery- daw' every time id see- saw. I was constrained from using the slide bcos i was a late walker i crawled for 17 long months so although i would crawl upto the slide but i could not figure out how to climb using my paws and knees i realised i need to walk so that the climbing action can be used. But Momy loves the slide she'd put me  on top of the slide over and over again... and it ain't easy putting me up there and sliding me down bcos the slides were big!! But because Momy  loves it so much and also  gets to work out her arms in the bargain so win win!!! :-P ;-))






How can i forget Momy used to try more arm workout on the see- saw especially if no one sits on the other side. My See - saw partners Tristha and Dhriti were always excited to sit on the other side bcos theyd love to hear Momy hum the rhyme. In fact Tristha went and even told her Mommy about how well Vivaan s Mommy can humm rhymes on almost anything and everything around us. Sometimes she embarasses me :-)) especially now that we are in the west and people are soft spoken its only my Mommy who is yapping and singing all the time i have to say shoooo Mommy slow down. But she likes the fact that music together teacher told her she has a great voice pheww so more of it love for music too. 


Coming back to love for Parks - our park days in Bombay were an auto ride to a nearby park. i so love autos (sadly now that im in the US i dont get to see a single auto) so the bombay park  had a pathway for some serious calorie burners and walkers  lots of uncles, aunties, boys n girls kept going round the mulberry bush and kept walknig for hours  whereas the inner circle of the park was scattered  with babies like me playing with ball, bat, flying kites, Mommy gets my favorite 'Fubbles'  it means 'fun with bubbles ' and i love to pop them sometimes other kids join me and the older kids jump up high to catch the bubbles...
Needless to say there were swings, slides, see - saw. I liked the slides in Bombay more bcos they were smaller for a little guy like me and also had a 'london bridge' in between to move from one end to the other.My Mommy is a 'asli Mumbaikar' hence shes a loud mouth :-P ...once  i overheard Mommy tell her Bangalore friends that in Bombay 80% of babies come to the park with their Nanny s, these nanny s  have a gang amongst themselves there are nanny s  of expats, nanny s  of sky tower buildings, nanny s with doggies too,  and the bonding happens in the said economic strata.  Whilst it is very normal in this human race but i think  Mommy wanted to make a statement about it. Just so you know ...
Mommy s love for parks got us to the best park in the world its actually called LOVE PARK in philly city where i currently live. This park is a symbol of 'brotherly love' which describes Philly city. its the best place on planet earth not according to Mommy but i have the same opinion too  so Mommy and me both love parks and love the LOVE PARK the most and we get Daddy to love the LOVE PARK too making him miss his soccer matches most times :))
So when i asked Mommy why do you love parks she says 'You are my sunshine my little sunshine' tomorrow you will be a big boy and have your own sport to follow and id play soccer, basketball etc and parks might not interest me besides i wont have mommy time to spare hence she loves her time with me more so and i think its fair enough.
Okay i just got a hug from Adalyne my park buddy, blush blush!!!   Spring is here and summers is gona be here too so wishing all my buddies 'Happy Park times' - So Rain or shine or snowflakes play all day and visit the parks more often !!!








Lots o Love
