Bathtime with My Little One

When Uma came home, one of the most frequently asked questions was, who would bathe her? I wasn’t sure what the answer folk were expecting. But in the general answer was Thej. Then, I realized that people fear handling babies, especially while bathing them, and they are extra doubtful if it’s a man, probably for all the right reasons.

Uma, Pathu, Anju, and I have started going on proper evening walks. We walk around 30 minutes in the neighborhood. Echo gets a special longer walk. For now, it’s difficult for Anju and I to take all three of them for a walk simultaneously, hence this arrangement. Also, Echo can stay alone at...
