Motherhood diaries

I am a mother of three boys! A full grown man( my husband) a six year old ( a super hyper one) and an almost three month old ( almost because i have lost track of the sleepless nights) When i concieved my youngest i got two types of reactions... The "thank god someone is also having a second child" look And The " she has guts and she is nuts" look.  Well most of my friends had the second look and the first look was from friends who couldn't hide the second one.

I have had lot of fun playing the games listed below. My six year old calls it mouth games. On those rainy days or while travelling where we could not run around they came very handy for a hyper child. The screen time while lunch of dinner was also taken care of.

So if A says "bat", B has to say a word with Alphabet "t" like "train".  A the has to say a word with "n".The only rule is you can't repeat the word some one has already said. 2 . Spot the colour We started playing the as soon as  my kid and his friends were learning colors. I had to say a color and they had to spot anything around with that color.
