It was a cute sight to see those tiny feet in the huge shoes.
You think to yourself "look at those tiny feet. there is so much time to go before he can fill them up'
till suddenly a moment arrives
when you realise you don't have your gym shoes with you and you try your son's shoe half-heartedly, expecting it to be small
And it fits perfectly. Even though i have big feet
Soon he may not fit mine anymore. A sweet moment salted with just a dash of wistfulness.
Happy 12th birthday to my ubercool dude who is so like me and yet not so!
Now go fill your dad's shoes.

awwww... time flies and how.
Almost the same story here. Infact, now I have the smallest feet among the 3 of us! Imagine that! :)
My heartiest wishes to the smart dude of a smart mom :)
Suma, I loved that post. There was a time my son, when little, tried out his father,s blazer and it looked like a midi coat twice wrapped around. Then the time my daughter, at 5 years, wrapping one of my sarees ad infinitum around her, and then she couldn't walk . Things have changed. They grow up. At one point i shared sandals and chappals with my daughter. Now I have the smallest feet in the house....
happy birthday dude:)
Lovely !
time flies ! Doesnt it ! And there you are trying hard to keep up with it. And it tell you it flies.
And you have the sandals, the blazers, the sarees and markings on the wall to keep score.
And ofcourse, you scrounge for the last bit of memory to be stashed away somewhere. Life !
This is so cute - my 12 year old's shoe size is two sizes bigger than mine and she has become taller than me. Lately she has taken to resting her elbows on my shoulder and saying "Hi shortie" :)
Love this post - Happy Birthday little big guy - go fill in your daddy's shoes indeed :)
Many birthday wishes for the boy there :-)
Happy Birthday to big S !!!! :)
That was a nice post
awwwww... Happy Birthday to the big little one!
Time enough to fill his Dad's shoes, I think. Let him first find his own feet. But am sure in time, God willing, he will... :-)

Happy Bday Cool Dude !! So what did he get as a bday gift? I have a 11 yr old nephew.. when I first met him he was a little kid.. younger than Cheeky now.. he loved cuddles and attention.. now he is this cool dude who is above all kiddy things :P So I can imagine :)
Awwwww!
Happy belated birthday to your cool dude! :)
aww... hope he had a wonderful day...
how'd you celebrate?
12... wow!!! he must feel all grown up! :)
Very sweet post! I can relate to this in my own way - though KB is only four - just seeing him grow up in new ways...such a bitter sweet thing - you are filled with pride when you see them grow physically, emotionally and in other ways...but it is also sad that they are not your babies any more...that we need to let go...
Happy birthday and nice blog you have. And welcome to my blog.
Neera:
thank you. it made us a bit sad that , he's been spending every birthday since the last 3 years in a new environment :)
Preethi:
he got a much longed for Arsenal shirt, a soccer ball(because super mom packed everything in the shipment) a book and few other things which i hid all over the place and he was given clues to hunt for it. and sometimes i think he is stll a little kid because the best present he liked was my handdrawn time vouchers for extra computer screen time :)
Miss M
thank you..he had a wonderful time
rayshma:
we took them to Ski dubai (a snow area) and of course yummy chocolate cake!
Jaggu:
thankyou
happy belated birthday to your son :)
Heyy, thanks for visiting my blog. I enjoyed a long tour of your blog, enjoyed the 'dry humour'. You are truly amazing! Adapting to so many cities and countries and keeping sane and happy is a real tough thing, and you have managed so well. And all that without a full length mirror! Truly amazing!
BTW, hope your cool dude had a nice birthday! Teenhood is just a year away, and what does a mom of an almost-teen feel like? The post was lovely.
deepali
Thanks
Sucharita:
Thankyou. i loved your latest post too. teenhood IS a year away and perhaps it's overhyped :) he still seems normal
Lovely one!
Ah--he is a Leo! Happy happ b'day (though belated) to the dude.
Cheers
preeti
