Talent at Three

1. Preempting the sentences of mumma aka Mind Reading.
      
       After 3 days when I went home I was told that you were crying for me. I thought to reiterate the fact that I always come and meet you on the day I promised, by conveying that I keep my words. I tried doing this in a little round about way. I bought Kinder Joy for you and while giving it to you I said : Geet, I promoised that I will bring Kinder Joy for you. Here it is, see I always do what I say. To my amazement , pat came the reply from you - " Mumma, I didn't cry for you, I was crying for papa. I knew that you will come today." You preempted that I was about to say the same thing to you.   
     
2. Decision Making

I asked you whether you will like to have Dairy Milk or Jalebi. You thought for a while. I gave you three reasons why Jalebi is better.
One, you don't eat it everyday like Dairy Milk, Two, only Mumma gets you Jalebi, Dairy Milk everyone and anyone can buy and Three, It is more in quantitu and even Kaka, Kaku and Ajji can eat it.

You thought for 2-3 minutes and decided for Jalebi. I know I made you choose what I wanted, but the fact that you listened to everything whithout crying and insisting on Dairy Milk, you evaluated the option and then decided was what I was impressed with.

3. Drawing Analogy :
Mumma always calls you princess and Papa always call you "Beta". One day I called from Office and said, Beta, Kya kar rahey ho?, you responded, tum Papa ho kya? and this you do all the time and for a lot of other things also.

You truly are gifted Princess!

Weekend Updates

This weekend Mumma decided to spend some good time exclusively with you. Just the two of us.
Saturday I picked you up from home and went to see the Doc who declared you are absolutely ok , no wheezing at all.
We went to a mall after that and you helped mumma pick up a capri, got yourself new shoes and a smart dress. We had Idlies for dineer and you thanked me 7- 8 times for that.

The Sunday was marked with WATER.
We started the day with roof top swimming pool, you were so excited and thrilled being in water. You learned floating with the life - guard.
Evening we went to Juhu Beach and you were thrilled to see such a big swimming pool that is Arabian Sea and a huge Sand Pit that is beach. We had a nice time in water and played a lot in Sand.
Night when we were to come back it started raining heavily and you loved it.

You also met Shreya mausi for the first time who declared that you look exactly like me and I beamed on this compliment.

Here is to more such outings!!!
Will do this more often princess!

Not So Good Firsts

First Time Hospitalization on account of Pneumonia.
You have been brave for the past three days being playfull whenver the fever was down and generally getting better.
Today, though you slept throught the day you had fever in the afternoon and doctor decided to keep you in observation for two days.

I have no words to explain the misery of looking at a small hand with so many bandages to hold the IV.
And today I am remembering your nani like never before.

Get well soon, Princess!
