  • Babushka wisdom on Mummy’s tummies- Post 6

    See,I told you,there is loads more where the first dose came from 🙂
    Yesterday,when I was dressing up Babushka after her bath, she pointed at slits on her chest(koff,koff) and asked me,”Ohh look mommy,what is this?” I said.. ,”umm its a part of your chest”. She looks at me and I am pretty sure I saw her roll her eyes and says.. “No no mommy,its circles..its tummy circles from where babies get their milk” …As for my reaction… open mouthed breathing!
    And if you think that is funny… wait till you read this.

    Yesterday,we went window-shopping for baby gear and got a bounty bag from one of the stores. Naturally,Babushka got first dibs on it..this morning,when I was making breakfast, she was going through the bounty bag and asking me what each thing was,sorting,what she could keep,blah blah. Out comes a packet of breast-pads. And she asked,”Whats this Mommy?” I said, “ohh its for big mummies to use- not for didis or babies”. She turned it this way and that and then,announced..”Ohh I know what this is ..its tummy tissue..when your tummy is dripping,after baby has milk,you can use this”..I really don’t know what happened after that..because I am pretty sure,I fainted trying to drown myself in my tea!

    And now,I am just going to go hide the bounty bag!

  • Sharing is… Post 5

    Dunking your biscuits in Mumma’s Tea!

    Having a taste of Mumma/Papa’s Coke/Ice-cream!
    Snuggling close to Mumma and using the same pillow!

    Claiming that the maternity pillow Papa brought home is for “Babushka and Mumma to share”

    Aah,the joys of being a mom to a Babushka 🙂

    Happy Mother’s Day to everyone 🙂

  • Easter Long weekend-1-Post 4

    This year, we had a 5 day weekend for Easter and the 5 days were well spent:)
    On Friday, we took Babushka to watch Rio,the movie and she Loved it.She just couldn’t stop talking about it. Her favorite part of the movie was -when Blu flies.
    We spent a lot of time doing things together as a family-be it reading,playing silly games, walking in the park or cleaning the house. It was really nice,the feeling of belonging and togetherness..:)
    On Saturday,a friend cooked up a delicious fish curry for me,since I was craving it:P And we gobbled it up over back-to back viewing of Harry Potter. Sometime,during Babushka’s Easter Break,we introduced her to the HP series and she has fallen in love with the BOY!She couldn’t stop asking,”what’s his name,again??Can I watch the Boy’s movie?” So,yeah we watched and we watched..now she remembers every sequence!!
    On Sunday we set out to see the old gold mining town of Sovereign Hills in Ballarat.We joined 2 other families there..their older kids are 4 or almost 4 too..and the younger ones are babies..:) So, a good time was had by all.The kids had each other for company and we grown-ups had fun too:) I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking…

    Monkeying around in the gold Musuem

    Three little explorers-aah the prospects:)

    Checking out the miners’ tent

    Cooking up a feast-Chicken soup to be precise!

    My little gold-digger-she refused to move from there till we actually picked up a glittering pebble,made a big fuss about her finding GOLD!! She was so excited…for all of 5 minutes and then,she got tired and said,”its ok Never mind…we could throw this”..and threw it away!

    After we dragged her away from the gold-digging site,we headed off to Bendigo,our next destination and pit stop:)
    All that walking and exploring,left us so tired.. Babushka couldn’t fall asleep till we gave her a foot-rub!
    More later.. 🙂
