Emotions and Expressions!

While I was just getting used to your expressions you surprised me with your FIRST bout of emotions.

Here is the narrative for posterity.

We went to watch a play (more about that later). On the way to venue you slept in the car. Once we reached the venue, we were joined by Padma Masi's family and Mahi was along. When you woke up you were very queit and low key. I safely attributed this to your sleepiness.

We reached inside and the play started. On a chair ahead of us Aarush Dada and Mahi were standing and watching the play. You came to my lap and very slowly asked me " Aarush majha shi ka nahi bolet?" Why is Aarush not speaking to me?

I was zapped. It was only then I realised you were feeling insecure because Aarush was bonding with Mahi and you were somehow left out.
I told you that it is not that he is not talking to you, it is just that you are not trying to play with them. After that you were somewhat happy.
I really like that you confided in me and you could express how you were feeling.

Princess, I am enjoying being a part of your growing up.

The Unprompted Expressions!

Mumma, I love you...

Thank you Mumma , Thank you Mumma

Mujhe tumhari yaad aa rahi thi.

Office mat jao, please office mat jao.

Tum dus minute mein aa jana.

Thodi der mein chale jana, thik hai?

Mujhe tumhare pass aana tha isliye main ro raha tha :(

Mumma, Main sundar bachha hoon!

Meri  taraf muh karke so jao.
Mujhe tumhare haath per sona hai...

You dont need any prompting or help to express yourself in words anymore..

Its awesome.. I loving talking to you Princess!!!

My Performance Appraisal

What kind of Mother am I ?

In this world Princess only you have a right to answer that..
I wish one day before I die, I get to know your answer..

Love
Mumma.

I am a certified paranoid mother

It has been quiet some time that I have been told by various people in life that I am over sensitive and extra caring mother who is determined to raise a disciplined and civilized daughter.

I never paid heed to any of this till today. Today I have realised mysef that I am utterly paranoid over-sensitive mother. How else can one explain the panic attack I got after listening to the news that you have lice in your hair.
Spent 15 minutes, cursing myself for being a careless mother, talked to 3 friends about the problem in hand and am still restless..

Yes Princess you have a mother like that....

May God be with you!

I am very sorry

This is the first time I broke a promise made to you, Princess! and this is really killing me.
I promised that you will come back to Mumbai and meet Aarush dada and you missed your train.
I promised i will get a new ticket but again tickets couldnt be booked.

Today when I called you were so sad and quiet that it broke my heart.

Princess I will always remember these days and make sure that this doesn't happen again.
May God gives me strength to keep this promise always..

Mumma is very sorry princess!

the happennings

Last few weeks there have been no updates here, since both of us were busy.
While.you were busy in entertaining people in Pinki aaka's wedding ceremony and mumma was busy in office.
Then both of us got very busy in welcoming the new member of our family chota baby, Adwait.

The first remark you made after looking at him was " kitna chotu hai". You played the role of didi very nicely.
Helping in his oil massage, changing his cloths etc. trying to take him in your lap, singing him lullabuys.

mama . mami and nani were very impressed by your eating habits and disciplined manners. Mumma got a good scolding from mami so being harsh on you. So mumma has decided to be more polite and soft with you now onwards.

Those 10 days we were together, I just didnt feel like coming back to office.
Missing you a lot princess, come back soon!

Compassion - A new emotion

This deewali, you have given Mumma a very nice gift. You learnt to be compassionate. I was upset and miserable which lead to tears which I couldn't hide. First you thought it was your fault, so you readily said sorry and tried calming me down. Later, when you were sure there is something grave, you wiped my tears and gave me a tight hug. You tried making me talk about this by asking " Kay jhala , tula lagla ka" ?

The way I felt when you wiped my tears with your little hand and consoled me, is something I cannot explain in words. I am very happy to find a new companion.

Thanks Princess for showing me the brighter side of life!
