Visit to Gurudwara!

Last week was Guru Purab & La Petite introduced Ami to Guru Nanak Ji. And this week promptly they were taken to visit a Gurudwara or as my baby said "Guru Nanak Ji's house!" ;)

She was happy to go- dressed up in school uniform (which is mandatory only during such occassions) and came back home & told me all excitedly "how she had gone to Guru Nanak Ji's house & got Prashaad (I'm pressuming in langar) & had lots of Kishmish there (This I'm unclear about)." ;) I'm happy that my child is being exposed to so much of the world & is growing up with knowledge of what happens in the rest of the world too. 

Jo bole so nihaal... Sasriyakaal! :)

Oh No! It has started... ;)

So from the time Ami's come into our life, I have always heard my friends and cousins who are mothers of girls complaining "I don't get to choose what she wears. She refuses to wear anything but what she chooses..." I have a very very head strong daughter who generally has no qualms letting us know how she feels... So naturally I have been dreading this stage of hers to come... But oh-so-suddenly it was upon us yesterday! 

She calmly walked up to her cupboard, opened it, chose what she wanted, lay it on the bed, closed the cupboard and announced "Mumma, Ami ko yeh pehen na hai!" As parents we were both aghast and mighty surprised. We knew this moment would come but we weren't ready for it yet... And look at the T-Shirt she chose to innaugarate this stage "50% Ma... 50% Pa... 100% ME!" Hellooooo... I couldn't have said it better. Sigh! :)

Donkey ko Papa ne Sorry ki!

Umang had had a small mishap while returning from Agra on the first weekend of this year, where a Donkey stepped in front of his car (from the median) all of a sudden, and he had to sway the car suddenly so as to not hit the Donkey, head on! In the process he did hit the car on the side. By God's Grace Ami was not in the car to witness all this first hand. But when she asked me where was Papa & why was he late, I narrated this story to her. 

Her first question to me was "Papa ne Donkey ko Sorry kiya?" (Did Papa say sorry to the Donkey?) ;)

Post that, thers probably no family member who has not been told of this incident by her. She'd just start by saying "Papa ne Donkey ko Sorry kiya!" And then follow with the explaination of the whole thing. 

Whoever said kids have short memories, have clearly not met my daughter, coz she's been going on & on & on about this for a month and a half already! Gosh!!!

Gandi baat... Haanji bolo...Nooooo! Ami ka hai!

Some new catch phrases Ami's been dishing out these days are 

"Gandi baat": If there's anything done by anybody that is against what she wants, then out comes "Gandi baat!" 

When she doesn't want you to take away something that she has from her, she folds both her hands across her chest and very adult-like says "Noooooo! Ami ka hai."

And my absolute favorite is- "Haan ji bolo!" You call out to her from anywhere at home and out comes a cute "Haanji bolo." :) It always makes me smile. :)

Pretty Pretty Mommy :)

So jlt, out of the blue Ami gave me a compliment today saying "Pretty Pretty Mommy!" while pulling my cheeks. She did this in front of Umang, who promptly burst out laughing, coz of the mutual admiration society we seem to have created for each other. 

Here's hoping someone takes her que and starts complimenting mumma more :)

Yay! Pizza!!!!

Sunday was our Pizza Night... And to our pleasant surprise, Ami greeted our delivery boy with "Yay! Pizza!!!" 

We hadn't even told her that that's what was ordered. :P 

I had done this routine once before with her- where I raised my hands saying "Yay!" And then "Pizzaaaa".... My very observant pixie has caught on and did it completely on her own this time around :)

I video captured the moment by asking her to do it again. My brat obliged though the spirit of the spontaneity was something else...! ;)
