Its been a long day-cold and windy..and Aadi has a fever again..and they are having “teddy bear picnic ” in school tomorrow..and the li’l diva,sweetly asked me to make a new hat,which will cover “my ears”..how could I not? I am almost done with the hat..just making a flower to embellish it now.Pics of the hat and model,tomorrow..

Since the last post was written and published,after midnight,in Australia,I was wondering,if it counts as the post 23 for NaBloPoMo..then,I decided,what the heck..another  post won’t make a difference and this time,I am enjoying NaBloPoMo,more than the last time..There is no pressure-its easier to write and post something everyday,this time around.

Coming to today’s post..I remembered last night,that I never posted a picture of the goodies that Shruti sent us..so,here it is:)

I am sad the flowers were damaged,when I recieved it..nevertheless,I will always cherish this greeting.Thanks Again,Shruti..Sorry,it took me so long to post the picture.Blogging is so much fun,with the Windows live Writer!! I am loving it!

In other news,today was quite a nice day..When I was combing Aadi’s hair,this morning,the Medicare Ad was on air..and she saw the lice and freaked out.I told her,the little girl,used to cry when her mommy combed her hair..and so she got lice..And the little Puppy,bought it..so we evaded one of our biggest battles.I tied her hair into two pigtails and she was in a good mood..feeling pretty and all.

The only fight we had all day was at dinner table.Dinner was a little late today..so,she was tired and sleepy..and thats not a very good combination..she started playing around with her food.DH sat down to feed her,but both of them were distracted by the TV.Then started the whining.."I don’t like this vegetable”.We are counting our fruit and vegetable servings each day..and aiming for 5..So,I  tried to remind her that she would be one serving short..more whining followed,so i stopped making the chapatis and sat down with her,feeding her.And guess what she said,"Mumma I love this vegetable.”,so I guess all the drama was for mumma to sit next to her.

As for our fruit-vegetable servings,today she had grapes for her morning snack,tomato with her lunch,then she had an apple for a snack and finally for dinner had a serving of beetroot raita and beans..yayy..all 5! I love vegetable raitas..they are  nutritious comfort foods,isn’t it?

Hope you had a nice day too:D

I am sad today..Sad because another month went by,and we didn’t enter the Artsy Craftsy..I don’t know,where the time goes..I just don’t know…
I think one of the reasons is our busy schedule these days..I am spending so much time outside..that the days that I am home,I am trying to clean or keep the house clean.I used to call a cleaner,once in two weeks,earlier..but we are on a tighter budget,since last couple of months..and so the cleaner had to go..as a result..I am always,trying to catch up with the cleaning..ugh!I hate it….and I hate the mess..so there is no escape.This is the last week of school,then they break up for two weeks..and monday was our last playgroup session..its getting crazy,balancing Ms.Aadya’s social life!!Hopefully,we’ll be able to continue meeting our playgroup friends informally!:) BTW,one of the mom’s at playgroup,told me that she is a regular reader now..thanks P,for your sweet words:)
Anyway,I digress..I was talking about not being able to participate in Artsy-craftsy…Another reason,why I kept dilly-dallying this month,was the mess created by paints..umm..yes..I chickened out at the thought of extra cleaning.And hats off to all you moms-who are able to get their little ones to follow instructions..and churn out all the beautiful entries for each challenge.Ms.Aadya just wants to do her own thing..she just doesn’t want to do what is told or taught..no siree..she wants to do everything myself. And letting her have her way with the paints is just not my way of fun!! Its easier in summer..when I spread out a plastic tablecloth in the backyard and let her muck up to her heart’s content..but now when we are cooped up inside for longer periods..there is enough mess already..and I am always doing catch up ,where cleaning is concerned..OK..now I am ranting.:D..but its a fact..seriously..I am sick of it! LOL!! Today we got a letter from our rental agent that they are coming over for the periodic inspection..and being the mean mommy that I am..I told Ms.Aadya,that if she brings out,anymore toys to the living room,the agent is going to kick us out..the poor child was suitably scared..but I know come morning and the fear would have disappeared!
Sorry Shruti,for not entering this time again..hopefully next time.. I have lots of ideas though,will put them up,when we can do it,on warmer days.
Ohh Today was such a cold day..and Aadi decided to wear her halter top and ghaghra..I was feeling cold,looking at her..but she was not bothered.I kept the heat ON..after a while,she went and put on her jacket,without me asking her.She came out and announced,”Look Mommy,Filany(*finally) I put on my jacket!”
Her favorite hobby is changing clothes..One outfit,EVERY half an hour!
Today,when I was making her lunch,she was playing in her toy room.When her paratha was ready,I called her and out she came,wearing just a micro-mini skirt-one of her old skirts from when she was 18 months old.I got upset,asked her,rather sternly,”Aadi,what is this?Go wear your clothes!”
The little imp walked up to me,hands on her hips and asked me in the very same tone that I have when scolding her,”Mumma,yeh kisne sikhaya aise words bolna?”(Mumma,who taught you to say this?)..We ask her the same thing,when she says/does something silly or rude!
Speaking of rude,this weekend,I asked DH to help me with something,while I was cooking.He was watching FIFA reruns and grunted,made a face and muttered.I got mad,told him,not so nicely,I don’t need his help and could he please “GET OUT of my kitchen”.Naturally,he was irritated too..and told me,”don’t say Get out in front of A-A-D-Y-A.” Ms.Aadya,who was standing by,playing with the dough,looked up,told me very calmly,”Mumma,don’t say bad words.Suna Mumma,don’t say these kind of bad words jaise Get out in front of me,ABCD Aadya!” I was like..umm OK,I am sorry. And promptly,she said,”Now,thats a good girl,I am proud of you”..Where was DH,you ask? well,he was busy laughing into the couch cushion!
