Republic Day 2011 Update

Standing in attention, saluting the Indian Flag while National Anthem played along on TV for whole 52 seconds. That was a first...

Wow Girl..I am a Proud Mumma...

This followed by a Mom and daughter day out @ Ambi Mall....
We did have a blast and I am finally confident enough to take you out all alone.. and ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Day Care?

Because you love a lot of people around especially of your age .
Because you miss Vivaan, Ty, Aryaan , Aayan and Naina quiet a lot when you are at home.
Because you eat properly with your friends rather than alone at home.
Because you learn lot of good stuff in school.

Yesterday, when you had thrown a big tantarum in going to school and I asked on the way whether you liked going to school and day care, after a long pondering over, you had told me that you love school and Anu mam.

I know in winters it is difficult for you to get up in morning and come with me, but for those 15 minutes of getting ready, you actually enjoy your whole day . Weekdays more than weekends.

You are at day care for all these reasons and
Not because Mama has to go to office and she cant take care of you.

Learning Shlokas

गायत्री मंत्र, वक्रतुंडा महकाया, कर्पूर गौरम, या देवी, गुरुर बरह्मा,

ये सभी श्लोक मैंने तुम्हे एक एक शब्द बोल  कर के सिखाये हैं , लेकिन अब तुम  सिर्फ मुझे सुन कर ही श्लोक या कविता याद कर लेते हो...

God Bless!

Second Part of the FIRSTS....

The first song I sang for you after coming back to my usual self post delivery...


" सोचता हूँ अगर मैं दुआ मांगता, हाथ अपने उठा के  मैं क्या मांगता,
जब से तुमसे मोहब्बत मैं करने लगा, तबसे जैसे इबादत मैं करने लगा,
मैं काफ़िर तो नहीं, मगर ए हसीं जब से देखा मैंने तुझको, मुझको बंदगी आ गयी"

Season of Firsts

This is a Season of Firsts..

Last evening was your first conversation and Last night first time you had your dinner all by yourself.....
I was really surprised the way you sat on your chair and table and without any, absolutely minimal, wastage finshed your dinner neatly.

Today for the first time you  actually said a cheerful bye to me when I was leaving you at day care, you were happy to see me leave ...(so that you can get rid of me and keep that face cream bottle with you, without me nagging you to give it back)

God Bless!!!!

Am I feeling nervous that you are growing up too fast and very very soon you wont need me???
hmm....

Complaint No, 1

First ever initelligent conversation between her highness and me
so what if it was a complaint.

गीत : " तुम मुझे छोड़ कर  गए थे इसलिए मैं रोया था ?
मम्मी : लेकिन में तुम्हे छोड़ केर नहीं गयी थी, मुझे ऑफिस का काम था इसलिए में दुसरे  रूम में गयी थी.
गीत : तुम्हे ऑफिस का काम था ?
मम्मी : हाँ
गीत : अच्छा !"

Now that was one understanding, inetlligent approval I ever got. :)

New Year Letter

Dearest Princess,

I wish to start this new year by thanking you...

Thank you for all the good things you taught me like saying thankyou for small little favours.

Thank you for making me express my love more often. (lot of PDA which was a real no no for me earlier)

Thankyou for teaching me the most important virtue "Patience". This one I really needed.

Thank you for loving my cooking - I loved the way you finished off the Cake on Christmas.

Most Importantly thank you for taking me out of the guilt trip for putting you in Day Care. I cant forget your excitement on the first day after the vacation. The way you just went inside running and kept on the excitement till the night was amazing.

Thankyou princess for letting me grow up with you..:)

Love
Mumma
