Its been three weeks since I returned from India, and I have loads of photographs waiting to be posted in 'Prathik's page' and lots of stories to go with it, but still havent got the time to do it.April is always Tulip time for us. Every year we never fail visit the near by tulip gardens wherever we are posted. The bright coloured tulips in full bloom is such wonderful sight to see.Luckily this year we are in Belgium very near to Amsterdam the Tulip garden of the world.Last weekend we visited the tulip gardens in keukenhoff , Amsterdam. The garden was very big and neatly arranged.The only sad part of it is that we missed the fields by one week as they were cultivated a bit early this year .Prathik had a very nice time running around the flowers and we got some nice pictures too.But we had a very hard time making him sit in the car seat.This was his first long trip by car outside India. After a while he got used to it and slept all the way.I made some collages out of the pictures and wanted to post it immediatly before I get lazy and forget all about it.
We are having a vacation in chennai now. All this time Prathik was walking only on his knees which worried us a lot.We were trying all techniques and tools to make Prathik walk.But he was relectant to even give a try. He was very comfortable walking on his knees. My MIL's huge effort of taking and cleaning the 'nadaivandi' from the paran all went in vain. But suddenly one fine evening, when we were relaxing in my mom's place and when nobody's noticing, he started getting up and walk on his own. Probably he was motivated by seeing all the other kutties(my sisters kids) walking.It was an overwhelming moment for me.
Finally he reached his important milestone in his life and Iam proud of him.
He is going for a walk everyday with his thatha and patti and enjoying his time in chennai
