15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • Aadya has started a new bedtime ritual.Every night,after we tell her a bedtime story,she put her hand on my tummy and tells the story to Diego.
    This morning she told me..Diego has to sleep in his crib and Aadya will sleep with Mumma.
    Last night,she asked me.. “Mumma,who do you love sabse jyada-Aadya ki Diego?” I said,”aadya” and she tells me..” Mumma,you have to love Diego too!and papa too!”

  • We had a great last week..My sister arrived for a much awaited visit and Ms.Aadya is on the top of the world since then.Every night she wants to sleep with her and after the bedtime story,comes running to our room..:)
    Sis is on Mission Organise and is doing just that to all the rooms and cupboards in the house!!LOL!
    Yeah Yeah..I am a lousy housekeeper..
    We got the christmas tree out and put up the ornaments..it looks nice..but I still want more ornaments..so,we’re bauble shopping now.
    The look of adoration on Aadya’s face when DH took out the christmas tree!Daddy is the superhero!She couldn’t stop saying “Wowwwwwwwwwww” and “Thank you Papa”.She picked one side of the tree and sat down to decorate just 3 branches!!LOL!
    Ohhh!I love the holiday season..Diwali,Thanksgiving,Christmas..
    I am nostalgic for the holiday seasons spent in USA..specially the decorated malls and holiday spirit. Here in Australia,the christmas decorations came up last week..but still I miss the holiday hustle-bustle in USA. May be city will be busier!
    I can’t believe it..we have been here 3 years.:) I am still getting used to a summer christmas..:)
    How was your week? and what are your holiday plans??
    P.S. do try and guess the exhibit in the last pic of the last post.

    And this one is for you to guess???Can you??

  • When we came back from the Dr.’s office,we told Aadya,”Aadi,you are going to be a big sister! There is really a baby in Mumma’s tummy.”She was excited and then went back to watching her cartoon.
    She wanted to call her baby sister Dora.I asked her how about Diego??And she now calls the baby Diego and I get an image of a little green Dino!
    She is so sweet..it makes me want to cry.She kisses my tummy and talks to Diego.She is being extra careful-she kept pushing me away,when I tried to hug her.Finally,I coaxed her to sit in my lap,she sat gingerly and then said,”Mumma,I think Diego is scared..is Aadya didi squeezing him?” OMG!!I don’t want her to be so understanding..I hugged her tight and told her,”No Diego is fine,he likes it when Aadya didi cuddles him and mumma.”
    Yesterday,I was feeding her dinner.She took the first bite and then told me,”Now you give one bite to Diego in your tummy”.
    Oh my little baby girl..I love you so much!you are going to be such a sweet big sister.
