I recalled my own experiences of taking little ones to the local park - my 2 year nephew every weekend when I came home from college and later my own son to the riverside where he'd go chasing after the pigeons or delight in throwing bread crumbs to the ducks. <BR/><BR/>But Puttachi's exploits in the park seem to be in an altogether different league. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the delightful blog. have fun and keep safe.JayEnAarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127753607029493743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-77527993906686793042008-07-11T20:17:00.000-07:002008-07-11T20:17:00.000-07:00Heyyy, how sweet!

Her behaviour with strangers comes as no surprise to me considering how she responded to me and that when she was not yet one!<BR/>While some of it is genes, it speaks a lot about her parents too and how well they have done by her.(S and S~ take a bow!) Having been exposed to both sets of grandparents, I think she is totally comfortable with older people. Tell me whichh park this is. One of these days I am going to come and sit in a bench just to watch her.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-42559306369684805632008-07-11T10:58:00.000-07:002008-07-11T10:58:00.000-07:00wow another lovely Puttachi post :)wow another lovely Puttachi post :)Dhanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593715978123445004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-80203603801984652052008-07-11T01:14:00.000-07:002008-07-11T01:14:00.000-07:00Hehehe... so now Puttachi is gathering a bigger fa...Hehehe... so now Puttachi is gathering a bigger fan following than her mother :)<BR/><BR/>About being attacked by random strangers and relatives -- I totally understand. When I was a kid, I have these vague memories of random huge people (since everyone seemed huge at that time) coming and cuddling me -- my cheeks especially.

And I have to agree with Raj that said here in the USA it is definitely not safe to even touch other children without the consent of the parents! And I think to a large extent, it DOES work out well :) atleast for the parents that do not appreciate this kind of behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-13031212900006260022008-07-10T08:38:00.000-07:002008-07-10T08:38:00.000-07:00Hi!

Like Puttachi was fascinated by the blonde hair of the white boy, my son used to be fascinated with blue/gray/green eyes of the white kids here in the park. Once he was so taken by a little girl's blue eyes he almost poked her in the eye trying to touch it!!<BR/>BTW, on the over-friendly strangers, if such a thing happened here, parents could yell "Sexual abuse!". That was something I was told when I came to the US first, "Do NOT touch a child without the parent's permission!!"rajkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473706252786535841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-65153136265702718272008-07-10T07:59:00.000-07:002008-07-10T07:59:00.000-07:00nicely written.nicely written.anoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707469564505986944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-59488936806644341872008-07-10T07:49:00.000-07:002008-07-10T07:49:00.000-07:00I can relate to your experience that the little on...I can relate to your experience that the little ones have a life of their own at that young age and we as parents are not a even a part of that life! It happens with with me all the time with my toddler son who knows more people than I do in all the public places like parks,shopping malls, community library and supermarket that we frequent with him all the time. I have seen people approach my son first and give him a friendly high-five and than turn towards me to strike up a conversation.<BR/><BR/>It is just a phase in the life of a baby/toddler. Everyone loves little babies and toddlers just as those little ones love to say "Hi" and "Hello" to everyone they come across. Once they are a little older they move on to next phase and know who is a family member and who is a stanger and that is the beginning of the end of innoncent age that we all will cherish for the rest of our life.<BR/><BR/>Vish<BR/>NY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-42034055015113087332008-07-10T04:55:00.000-07:002008-07-10T04:55:00.000-07:00Oh, you have painted such a vivid picture of the w...Oh, you have painted such a vivid picture of the whole scene Shruthi! 'Puttachi in the Park' - I almost felt like I was reading a Malgudi Days story. From one Narayan fan to another, could there be a better compliment? :-)<BR/><BR/>I wish you could have stopped the lil boy and his kiss though. Kiss on the lips, ugh, hate to think of it even! Anyhow, you will be better prepared next time. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-84203609084725566272008-07-10T04:30:00.000-07:002008-07-10T04:30:00.000-07:00Puttachi is a celebrity on the blog and in the par...Puttachi is a celebrity on the blog and in the park too :)<BR/><BR/>Small kids love to see/play with other little kids of their age.

The play and the people around the park!!<BR/><BR/>hmm.. that kissing part , I think people should understand.
