When I write this.. 4
seems to be a big number but visions of the first time I saw my son are so
fresh!
It was like this.. I
lay on the table and saw the most beautiful thing, pink lil hands, feet, with
spiked black hair, crying out loud.. I wanted to look, keep looking but the
nurses took him away so quick… 4 hours later, I held him for the first time! Wow,
4 years went rather fast!
It makes me so happy
when he colors pictures, says his numbers, words, asks questions, shares toys…
he makes me proud :)
Aarav and I were home
on a rainy day, I was busy looking into my phone. He was playing, I murmured to
myself " oh, I am so hungry" soon Aarav comes to me and says,
"Mumma, I am sorry" I, very curiously ask him "why are you
sorry?", He says… "b'coz, I don’t know how to make food for
you."
I
was touched.. My lil boy so sensitive, so thoughtful!
From soft toys - barn
animals - play doh - dinosaurs - cars - super heroes, a month before his 4th
birthday, his happening favorite was Dinosaurs. He would name 10-20 types of
dinosaurs!
When asked what cake
he would want when he turned 4, perceptibly he said DINOSAURS.
It was a chocolate
mousse cake and a old fashioned sugar cake this time! I enjoyed baking all this
from scratch and was overjoyed when it was all put together.
With friends,
food and fun it was a memorable
celebration.
The chocolate mousse
cake was 9*13 inch chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, poured with
generous amounts of chocolate ganache and bordered with pirouette cookies. I
made 3 dinosaur fondant animals and placed it on the silky ganache.
The old fashioned
sugar cake was two layered with 9 inch holding the 6 inch layers. The cake was
frosted with butter cream and filled with Nutella and fresh cream. The decor on
the cake was done with some tinted fondant.
These memories are
precious and writing or reading about them makes me revisit these beautiful
moments!
