Eat it... Please eat it..! Ha ha ha! ;)

Ami for the last 2-3 days has a new game with Mamu jaan... She'll get something, try feeding it to him (be it chips, biscuits or peppys); and when he opens his mouth to take it, put it in her own mouth instead... Followed by gleeful laughter... :)

When after a few attempts Mamu stopped opening his mouth & responded with "Mamu ko nahi chahiye, Ami khalo!" She then went into "Khalo na please mamu. Eat it! Please eat it..." And when he gave in & opened his mouth, she quickly put in her mouth yet again!" Followed by a ha ha ha! :P Gosh! Kids... 

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. :)

Bath Crayons :)

Ami was introduced to bath crayons today. These are water soluble crayons that kids can draw to their heart's pleasure (on tiles) with. Bathing is suddenly so much more fun :)

Do check out my Picasso in the making! :)

First Picnic from Play School- Check!

So today La Petite had organised a picnic for Ami's class. Naturally my baby joined in and went to Leisure Valley with all her school friends. She came home to say she had fun in the sun with her friends and two-two mams. 

Awww the spirit of independence is so evident in her these days... Her world and experiences will not always clash with mine going forward. All I can do is stand back and smile and wish her all the best to experience life her-style.. May Huzur Radhasoami Dayal always keep an eye out for her. :)

Gosh! But isn't she growing super fast? Sob sob!

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!!!
