Good riddance!

Sleep routine:Mama takes brat to bed,reads a book,say a story,kiss her and says "Mama go eat mumum(food) and come back,ok?"
Brat hugs mama tightly and wails "Mama no go ,no eat dinner,sleep here"
Yesterday nite brat was busy playing with something she was not supposed to and mama scolded her for that.
Brat smiles looks into mama's eyes and says "Mama go doontairs(downstairs),eat mumum and come back".

Mama fainted!

Valentine's Day 2013

Brat comes home yesterday with all the valentine gifts she got from her classmates and teachers. A bag full of goodies ,mostly tattoos,3D stickers and a few candies. We   go through all the gifts and I tell her who gave her what. She is super excited about everything and collects all of them in a pile. Then she pulls out an art work mainly consisting of various hearts in different colors and sizes glued together and with magnets behind it so that it can be put on the fridge. It was her art project from class for V-Day. She hands it to me saying “This is for you mama”. I’m so moved and I put it very safely on the fridge. I ask her to put the rest of the gifts in her room and walks away. She comes back asking if she can gift the same magnet to Neeru and I agree. She runs to her brother with her artwork and says “See Neeru this is my valentine gift for you” and hugs him. Then she skips off to her room happily to put away the gifts. I felt so touched and proud of my little girl. T...

Avni's 3rd year

Anikutta, You turned 3 and mama is very very late this time for the yearly b’day letter. Looks like every odd birthday you celebrate in India bcos your 3 rd b’day was celebrated in India. Lets talk about your third year. If I had to come up with a single word to describe your third year it would be “blossoming”. You just blossomed into this wonderful toddler ,full of energy, talking non-stop, bold at times, a cry baby at other times and mostly a very happy bouncy and smart kid! The year began with us finding out that you were going to have a sibling. You were so excited and instantly demanded a baby girl. Oh Boy! Mama and dada were not quite sure how to explain to you that we didn’t have a choice in that matter. You strongly believed and kept saying that it was your baby and mama is carrying the baby. You continued going to Bhagyam’s daycare until June when ammamma came to stay with us. You were so excited about ammamma’s visit. Every conversation revolved around ammamma...

6 - Now thats more than a handful!

6 is a big number especially when it marks the number of years you have been a mother. Yes my motherhood has turned 6 and so did my first born. When did she grow up so fast. In a blink I think. Sometime in the last year I heard the phrase "I know,I know mama" several times from my baby and I knew she is not my baby anymore. I'm very proud of her growth but the mother in me wants to cling on to the pure innocent baby in her. She is smart,witty, quick to learn and ahead of her peers and all that makes us proud but I can slowly see the world penetrating into her and the baby fading away. Well that's how it is supposed to be, I guess. Major achievement this year was starting official education. White Oaks is a great school and she loves it. The bus ride is a source of major excitement. She still struggles with making the right friends.  Kumon has come a long way. She is on honor roll and reading like a pro. We dont need to push her too much to get the homework done. It ...
