School activities and some tidbits



Little miss is so innovative these days.

We have a singing sessions. I sing a English song (mostly from my school memories). Little miss immediately picks few words from that song and makes a song of her own impromptu song..its spontaneous, i am just amazed by her creativity. We have so much fun singing and hugging J



The other day, she was telling the whole of Rupanzel story to her grandpa. Loved her version with all the minute details.



We had a lovely week at my moms place..got to spend precious time with my sweethearts.



After returning from my moms place, father in law asked little miss..”Your mom would be missing your nani(maternal grandma) no?”
The prompt reply comes: “ why, ma hai na!” (Ma she is referring to her paternal grandma that is my mother in law ) J
We all were very happy and proud of her answer. She has started understanding relationships!



When little miss is upset with her grandma or grandpa, here comes her blackmail
“aap aisa karte na, me chali jaungi australia aapko chodke!” aww sweetu..cant stop laughing when she says that!



She is learning dance on “landon thumakda”
This is for the annual day in our society.
Missy loves to perform it for her grandparents after coming home.
Yesterday she made it a point to make her grandpa do the steps she was doing. MIL and I could not suppress out amusement. Fil would have barely danced in his entire life and now has to comply to little missys demands!





We went to watch a play the other day – ye dil abhi bhara nahi
Lovely pay casting reema laagu, vikram gokhale and jayant savarkar.
As soon as we got seated..here comes little missy’s question – Why are there all dadaji and dadi’s here?
Oops! We looked around and saw, yes there was more of mature crowd around. But then thankfully a family with mummy, papa, dada dadi and kiddo came in front and we showed here there are mummy papas and kids as well..and not just dada dadi’s here J what a observations!



Mummy’s little magic trick – Some itching in little ones eyes..yes too much of phone and ipad L. Mumma does her magic trick with a soft cloth and some warm breath..put on little ones eyes..feeels better J itching gone !



Little S loves to recite jana gana mana (Indian national anthem) anytime anywhere J



She loves to do her worksheets with me.


She knows her name spelling and is able to read it anywhere.

The other day i was watching some image on my phone and she said, thats my name! Bingo!



I have a name plate of hers with Saachi’s written on it. But now since she knows her spelling, she wanted to know why this name plate has two “S” where as her spelling has only one!
Good question!
I said the train nameplate belogs to saachi, that is why it says saachi’s
Difficult to convince her though.



FIL: saachi pray to god to give you a good mind
S: bhagwanji meri buddhi sudhar do..
FIL: saachi tell god to reduce your anger
S: no , not anger
ME: why saachi, anger is not a good thing, tell god to reduce it.
S: then he should reduce mummy’s anger too!
Me: oops
FIL: ye baat sahi boli hai
Me embarrassed..kids have so many reasons silently built up in their minds for the actions they do.
We do not realize but our behaviour greatly influences theirs.



FIL and MIL were having some discussion on a dustbin that MIL bought.
FIL was scolding mil , that it is not a good quality one, why she wastes money on cheap stuff.
Hubby returned from office at night
Little S reporting to him: Ma ne faltu ka dustbin layi hai . (grandma bought a useless dustbin)
Could not stop getting amused at her tone and her catching up the conversation and reporting it.




Mamma i have a secret, i will tell that to you in the morning..shhhh



We love playing hide and seek these days
Earlier when little miss used to hide and i used to call out her name..saying where are you..she would jump out from her hiding place and say..here i am!!
Hehe
But now she is getting a hang of the game
She has decided a very nice hiding place in our home, which if someone is new, will be really bit difficult to find out!
She literally scared us out, when she chose a even better hiding place, not making any sound and staying still..stay safe sweet heart



Little S’s love for pigeons is not a secret. She loved to feed them in Sydney and the love is growing by the day here too in india.



We have a cleaner for our car in the society. He returned the car keys at night. MIL was hanging the key on the key stand, but my little one asked for it. She said this is not our key. I asked her to show me, and it really was not our key! It was a merc key! We would have not payed any attention had my daughter not pointed out that it is not our key. Children have such amazing observation, never thought she payed so much attention to the key.

Saachi:I dont have parents. (opps, I explained her mummy papa are called parents)
Tortoise: Where is your dad?
Saachi: He is in office.
Tortoise: and where is your mom.
Saachi : She is here.
Tortoise: And do you love your mom and dad?
Saachi: Yes I lov-e them.....
Tortoise: Which is your favourite song?
Saachi: A, B, C D..
Tortoise: Is it, I thouht you like "Guess how much I love you " :). It was nice talking to you saachi, now its time for me to go.
Saachi: Ok Tortoise, I loved talking to you. Take care. Talk to you later. Bye.

Papa - But isme shoes nahi aayenge na
Saachi - (Thinking) Ok me usko hello kitty me daal ke ride karungi :))) (I will ride in the hello kitty car by using these in the coin machine)
What what reasoning and thinking at this age!

me kya kar sakti hu !

Saachi - Mumma you have a black color smiley
Me - Black color smiley?
She means our eyebrows! what a correlation!

Little S loves to sit on top of the sofa, keep some cusions and does lovely tale malish champi of her mom and dad! we love it too..except when it turns into hair pulling..aaouch


i love to be with you, you is happy with me?

Saachi - Pappa mujhe honey bolte...Me papa ki honey hu..

Me - Saachi please bring my phone na
Saachi - mum my both hands are full..i am cutting paper

It worked! Didnt expect little miss will leave her work and get my phone!
Me  - Thank you :)
Saachi -  your welcome! (didnt expect this either)

Saachi returning mumma her earring which she was dangling on her ears.
Aruna aunty - Saachi come here..put on your pants.
Saachi - I was busy no!

Some old notes..

31st Dec 2012 - The little one started saying her Dad's name after listening her grand mom call him to eat fruits. It was so cute how the little one is calling him with his name! We went to see the fireworks at the park, and little S liked them a lot! Watching with full concentration. The other two children with us were a bit frightened, but not lilt S! :)

Her Vocab:
much much - that is for Specs (In hindi we call specs Chashma, she didnt get the entire word, and deviced her own short name as "much")
Office, chudi, phoon, pani, sit down, baby, wah wah wah, book, are some more words which she speaks without being told and appropriately!

Small actions goes to prove a lot:
  • I logged into skype after a long time and soon looking at the acreen she started saying Mama! She knows I speak to mama on skype! Are all the 20 month olds are that clever these days???
  • Little S wanted to go out for a walk but no one was taking her out, so she said "Me jai" (me going) and went towards the door and hid behind the shoe rack, her grandfather and me had a hearty laugh at her gesture.

Ice cream stick photo frame + yummy tidbits




papa - got a headache doll
saachi - thik ho jayega na
papa- kaise thik hoga
saachi - ho jayega na
papa - lekin kaise
saachi - aapne gelusil liye na abhi!!!

saachi tore the little origami dress that i made. asked her where it is, she said she spoiled it.
me - mamma is sad saachi, you tore the dress i made for you
saachi - kissi dena hai
oh wow!
me bend down and bestowed with kisses
her way to make mumma feel better ..surely works :))

isme baithke 'comfortable' lagta hai!!

saachi to papa: aap itne style me kyu dekh rahe the mujhe!

I try to incorporate English more while conversing with little missy..and she has taken a fancy for english and tries to make sentences with all the more words she knows. Dear papa was of the opinion that she should know her mother tongue first, she can learn all of english in school..so he used to talk to her in hindi..The little mind interpreted this as mamma knows english and papa knows no english, so she started translating whatever she told me (english) to her father in hindi. It was hilarious! Some of the instances:
After eating chocolate
Saachi to mamma : mamma my hand is sticky
to papa: mere haath bohot chikat ho gaye hai

after eating and relishing her icecream
to mama: it's a big spoon
to papa: ye bohot bali chammach hai
:)

we went out for lunch over the weekend, after finishing we were going to go to the indian store besides it. DH was doing the payment, me and saachi came out and started walking towards the shop..
saachi - mum, where is my dad??
I told this to her father, he could not believe she said that..she never calls him dad! that too in full accent!

"This is my favlet blanket"

"Mujhe aap pasand ho!" blush blush

She is full time into maska these days..she thinks/believes she can get all she want by just giving her kisses!! and i does work most of the time..its hard to not smile and relent when she does that!!!

She is full into complementing too these days..that too genuine
If i am giving her somthing to eat and she likes it she would definitely let me know " aacha bana" (it has come out good)

We love to play this fill in the blank game with litlle miss..
Saachi loves ---
Depending on her mood and who is asking her and who she wants to tease, she will either will mumma or pappa in that! She plays it very smartly, always avoiding what you want to hear!

One night, DH was trying to make saachi sleep..playing and doing masti with her.
When i finished all my chore and came to sleep, i saw her sleep was nowhere in sight because of all the masti going on..
I told both her and her father to sleep quietly :so jao chup chap".
Then in order to tease her father, whenever he tried to play with her that night..she would say in the same tune..sleep quietly.. "so jao chup chap"
i had a hearty laugh at my daughters wit! and unsuccessful attempts of DH to play with her!!


Now for the project..Saachi and me made this cute and simple photo frame with ice cream sticks. embellished it with buttons..it now adorns our fridge with a cute pic of little missy.

Origami heart shaped bookmark and some innocent words



My little toddler is now so full of masti...non stop chatterbox she is!
Sharing some of her talks - always amazes me!

"monu isko maxtra de do! "(monu is my pet name, she is telling me to give her the cold medicine which she will spit out..sigh!)

"saachi is a vely good girl"

"iek like chocolate" (that is not a typo, she says iek for i)

"ye ghasarpatti tuti hai, gandi hai"

"lavina, its here" (we were searching for the play area in the garden)

18 feb 2014
"khush?" (happy?)
Called my little doll to give mumma  a hug. She came immediately gave me hugs and kisses, went back to her play area at home and asked me..Khush?? it was so cute.

19 feb 2014
Little missy said "excuse me" after sneezing on her own..good going on the mannerisms miss!

Trying to get my daughter potty trained (i know its too late..sob sob)
In the process I was explaining her that she should wear the undies and slowly we'll get rid of the nappies..
snap madam come
" is se kya pharak padega?" (what difference will it make?)
she wants to reason out things and understand in order to do them

"kya ploblem hai?"

Tidbits

With the 100th post of my blog, I would like to introduce you to my little S and share some of the fun that I am having as she is growing :)

Dear S

I am really enjoying this phase of your development, when you are trying to repeat and speak almost everything we say in your own way. You very comfortably say 'Babaji', 'Ma', 'Pappa' and not to forget 'Mummy' :), 'Nanaji', 'Nani', 'Mama', 'Mami', 'Bua', 'Sakshi', 'Harsh'. 'Tata', 'Bye bye', 'Saachi shani'...

Since last two days you also are crying calling 'mummy mummy' when you woke from sleep and are looking for me all the time, my heart melts when I hear this.
I am taking you to playgroup since 2-3 weeks and you are having a good time there, you are learning to interact with other children and trying to be assertive.

You walk so fast that it is as good as running. Sometimes you would walk ahead and look back sneakily to see if we are coming behind you! That looks so cute n funny, just like the incy wincy spider in the rhyme which we see together. Be careful not to bump.

You jusssst love to go out of the house, as if you are held in a captivity. You go to anyone who is going out and enjoy your round!

This is the first craft project that we did together. You enjoyed sticking the pieces on the star and saying "stick stick stick"
