Last night I had my first South Asian train experience and Silas rode his first train ever. As soon as the train started they served us tea with a samosa, sweet snack, and salty snack, but with Silas on my lap, it was a little difficult to partake of it. A little while later they served tomato soup and a roll, again could not eat with Silas on my lap but I didn't really want to. A little later they came by with a full meal: chickpeas in masala, chicken, rice, chapatis, yogurt, and salad. But I didn't eat because I was busy holding my squirmy child who was really tired but couldn't go to sleep (he did really well though). I want point Silas managed to crawl under the seats and go three rows ahead of us. I laughed imagining what those people thought when they felt something tickling their feet :). Silas eventually went to sleep so the sound of praise songs and we finished the train ride off with ice cream! I was reminded of different life is now with a baby, but also how wonderful it is to have a little one cuddled up on your lap, knowing that you are the only one who can calm him in any situation (though normally his father can calm him too).
