Nowadays I notice that Keya favours Sri (her nanny) more than me I guess this is inevitable -

1. I dont spend enough time with her and
2. Sri really loves her too and takes good care of her.

I guess I should not complain; atleast the nanny does her job well and I can go to work assured that my baby is happy with her.

Yesterday after I reached home from work, I went back downstairs, where Sri and Keya were sitting by the jungle-gym. There was a small slide, a bright yellow thick-plastic tunnel and a tunnelled slide. I first zoomed Keya over the small slide, which she enjoyed. Then I asked Sri to sit at one end of the yellow tunnel and I sat at the other end. Then I placed Keya at the entrance of my side of the tunnel. At first, she was hesitant to go in. Then she looked up and saw Sri aunty’s familiar face at the other end. That enthused her so much that she kept crawling from me to Sri and back to Sri thru the tunnel several times! She was thrilled by that experience familiar faces at both ends and a safe, comfortable new area to explore! She thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had been very tired that day, but the moment I saw Keya and played with her, my aches and tiredness seemed to recede. By the time I came back home with her, I was feeling much better. So, yes, babies are a balm for tired souls
