Holi with the play group :)

Ami enjoyed Holi party with new friends today... The kids had fun throwing flower petals at each other instead of water... :) it was fun watching them get together even though they hardly knew each other :)

The adults had fun too... High without Bhaang! ;)

Dudu-Goggles! :)

If someone had told me a few months back that my Pixie will ask to wear Goggles to drink her early morning milk, I'd have laughed. I actually laughed quite a lot when she actually did do it too... Today! :)

My natak company, continuously comes up with new ways to entertain. Here's touching wood that these unexpected giggles at 7 in the morning, never stop. :) 

First Annual Day Function- Check!

It was a proud moment for us as parents... Ami had been chosen for her first dance performance on Stage. She was going to be a rabbit in the Jungle Safari themed Annual Day and dance to Bum bum bole. 

She has been humming & singing the first line of this song for two weeks now... All I knew was I am supposed to get her ready in her costume (according to the list of Dos & Donts provided by the school) and deposit her at 2:30... 

Now lets talk about her day... She woke up at 7:30, had milk, got ready & we went to get her passport size photographs clicked... Then took her to the park where she met the toddlers of the walking group for the first time. (My pixie was the oldest). She played ther and after a photo session of sorts was tired... 

So I brought her cranky-self back home to put her to sleep b4 the function... She hardly slept for an hour when I had to wake her up to get ready... Rush... Rush... Rush.... Change...Cry... Cry... Cry... Eat... And got her to the school only 10 mins late. Phew!

Went back home... Grabbed a bite... Changed... And rushed back to school. Waited patiently for my baby's performance... And then bum bum bole started... 

First thing I noticed was Ami was not wearing her head gear... Uh oh! She was in 'the' mood! Next I realised she was just standing... Not moving at all, as wer most kids in the performance. 

Princi actually made them dance a 2nd time... But nope! My kid was definitely-stubbornly among the kids who didn't groove or dance to the beat. 

There was this one moment on stage when Ami recognised us in the audience and we witnessed a shy smile. :) 

Umang feels she is more like him & will never enjoy limelight on the stage. My deepest hope is he is wrong and that she gets out of this phase & displays her talents to the world. Coz thers no doubt in my mind that she is talented- I have seen glimpses of that at home. Oh my baby is just shy... And I do hope she can overcome this shyness soon. :)
