Story of the First Time Mom

"I read somewhere that a soul chooses its parents amongst fifteen thousand parents. I was overwhelmed when two soul chose us as their parents and we were blessed with a boy and a girl at the completion of one decade of our marriage. I felt it is totally different journey with twin children, specially when one is bubbly baby girl and another is tantrum throwing baby boy. All the time we have to be a multitask-er to cope-up with them.

We named the duo Sara-Siddh, although they came to the world with the difference of one minute and shared the same womb, they are totally different.

I get surprised that they have different food habits, different preferences for taste and different taste for everything; but yes the time of demanding different thing is same, so.....you can understand. They share special bonding with each other, for everything they want the other one, for playing, for eating, for giggling and off course for fighting. With twins, i feel the work gets double and so is the joy, in that case i concentrate more on joy and keep myself full with energy.

My husband is a businessman and I am a Rangoli artist. I have taken break from my work as i want more time with my kids which feels me completely with bliss and ultimate eternal joy. I have learnt to respect my parents more after my kids. My kids are my teachers too, they have taught me how to hold passions, how to work between crying and yelling, how to rush faster , how to be a mediator without being partial and many more. Believe me I always have had excellent teachers in life.

I value the childhood of my kids , i understand the importance of these precious days so i want to spare my maximum time with them I want to cherish every tiny moment of my little angles."

Fringe Benefits of becoming Toy Library 'Member'

 We, www.toy4rent.in is Gujarat’s first exclusive online toy library portal offer its unique services in Ahmadabad.  It provides a wide range of branded toys on rent for the age group of newborn to twelve years and delivers them at the doorsteps of its member. The prospective is to make a lot of parents very happy, for one, considering how much harder -- and expensive -- it is to keep a child in good humor and stimulated at this time of inflated prices and busy lifestyle.   The idea is to let children play with the wide range of branded toys at an affordable price.  Assortment of play is important in a child’s life to help build the pathways of the brain, develop social skills and understand problem solving. Interaction, reading people’s moods and understanding our world all comes through play. Mentioned below our few reasons as why toy Library plays important role these days in development.

Raise Awareness of the Importance and the Value of Play
Membership of a toy library may increase a parent’s understanding of the importance of play, of the different types of play and the stages of development at which these types of play are of particular importance. They may learn how to make toys and will find a range of toys that will support their child’s development. Together, parents and children can choose toys that they find enjoyable.

Quality Items for Loan
Toy libraries select their toys based on the quality, robustness and value in terms of the child’s enjoyment and opportunities to learn and develop. Member parents and carers have the opportunity to borrow these high quality items on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The child is exposed to a greater range of toys and the family saves money.

Toy Information Source
Toy Library staff/volunteers can pass their experience and knowledge about toys to members. Parents and carers can use the service as a ‘try before you buy,’ ultimately saving money by purchasing toys they know their child finds enjoyable.

Family Support
Toy Libraries offer a network of support for families. Parents and carers can meet informally, forge friendships and discuss their problems and concerns.

Strengthening Family Functioning
Toy Libraries help to develop confident parents who are motivated to spend time playing with their children.

Community Links
Parenting can be an isolating experience, and toy libraries offer an informal, friendly venue to interact with other parents who are at a similar stage in their lives. They can also be a great way to meet new like-minded people if the family has just moved into a new area.

Strengthening Community
Being involved in a toy library – and committing to the participation required to make the toy library work – can really raise awareness and understanding of the importance of community. Members can gain confidence through carrying out their volunteer duties (such as staffing the library and helping with fundraising events), and can even learn some new skills along the way.

   Caring for Our Environment
The ability to ‘try before you buy’ ensures money is not wasted on toys that your child will never play with. By sharing toys in the toy library community, not so many toys need to be purchased, and ultimately the amount of plastic and other material used to create the toys is reduced. Donating toys that your children have outgrown enabled them to be recycled into the community and reduces the amount of landfill, had they been thrown away.
