1·25 Oct 2026·on Would a basic smartwatch for work alerts keep my phone off the dinner table?

Did that exercise yesterday with the on-call runbook. On a typical release evening, maybe two kinds of alerts need me within 20 minutes. Still trying the watch, but set up for those two only.

1·7 Oct 2026·on 2 year old told her grandfather he was on mute. He wasn't.

Mine puts her doll 'on hold'. Holds up one finger, says 'one minute, I'm on a call' and walks off. The doll waits ❤️

6·31 Aug 2026·on Can a grandparent make the first enquiry at St. Johns Model School in Alwal, or should the parents come?

One thing to check before you go: the listing says the school goes up to class 7. If he joins in class 4, that's another move in three or four years. Might be worth asking the parents whether they're fine with that, and making it one of your questions to the office too.

2·26 Aug 2026·on Daycare pickup has become a chase around the lobby every evening

Our daughter ran the same laps at her daycare. The day I stopped chasing, she came back to check why I wasn't playing. Not a fix exactly, but the laps got shorter. The staff laughing doesn't help either ❤

0·14 Jul 2026·on Squeaky shoes seemed like a cute idea in the shop

Took one squeaker out yesterday as a test. She now walks with a little limp so the other shoe squeaks harder. Putting it back.

0·14 Jun 2026·on Shoe shop near Gachibowli where they measure a child's feet properly?

Not Gachibowli, but the big sports store near us in KPHB measured our little one's feet on a board when we bought her first walking shoes. Took five minutes. Might be worth checking whether the branch near you does the same.

1·2 Jun 2026·on How small do you cut grapes for a toddler who wants them whole?

Well past two is useful to hear, thanks. Tonight we cut ours the same way as hers so the plates matched. She ate every piece without a fight.

2·8 Apr 2026·on japa nanny's 40 days end next week. extend her or try managing on our own

We didn't have a japa nanny, but my mother stayed the first six weeks and did every bath. When she left, I realised I had never once bathed our daughter. First week was messy. By the second it had become our thing. You'll learn faster than you think ❤️
