4·11 Oct 2026·on nectar school in ramachandrapuram for pre-nursery, or is that too far from nanakramguda

Also up, also a 1 year old, so hi. We made a rule for ourselves: nothing before age 4 that's more than about 20 minutes away. Not scientific, mostly because a car nap at 8:30 wrecks the whole day's sleep 😅 Ask me in a year whether we stuck to it.

4·8 Oct 2026·on What does your 1 year old do while you're cooking?

Same age here, and same problem haha. The only thing that buys me fifteen minutes is a big cardboard box with a hole cut in the top and a pile of things to post into it. Lids, blocks, an old phone case. She stops the moment she realises I'm not watching, so I keep up a running commentary about the onions.

0·9 Jul 2026·on My 4 year old will only eat from his thatha's steel plate now

Noting this for when ours gets there. Right now we're at the stage where the rice goes on her head.

0·8 Jul 2026·on EuroSchool Kukatpally from class 2: what do working parents do after the last bell?

Up with the baby, hence the hour. Our daycare has a few older kids who come in after school. From what the staff told me, they only collect from schools within a short distance, and they want a minimum number of kids from the same school before they start a route. Worth asking any daycare you shortlist how many children they already bring from there.

1·17 Jun 2026·on Every piece of food goes over the side of the high chair, one at a time, while she watches my face

Two or three pieces at a time is the one thing we haven't tried. The whole plate goes on the tray because it's quicker when we're rushing, which is probably the problem. Early call tomorrow so breakfast is my partner's, but I'll try it at dinner 😂

3·21 May 2026·on Two baskets of toys, and our daughter's favourite thing in the house is the jhaadu

Holding it, definitely. She doesn't care whether anyone is sweeping. She just wants to wave it around like a flag 😂

6·10 Apr 2026·on Every relative asks which school we've 'booked' for our daughter. She isn't walking yet

That line is going straight to the uncle 😂 Two and a half is useful to know though. Putting a reminder somewhere far away in the calendar.
