Aadi has been whiny and crying last 2-3 days,remember? today DH tells me it cud be nazar or the evil eye.Coming from him,its abig deal.you know how we moms are always first to blame any illness of the precious baby on the evil eye,but coming from the dad its a big thing.
Apparently he thinks its because of me and my fondness of posting her pics on FB,orkut n the likes.I hushed him,but it kept bothering me.
well she woke up,crying at 7.30 complaining of ear-ache and has been whining since then..and now I believe him 😦 She has been sleeping in my lap on and off,then wakes up and doesnt want to sleep again.Its 10.30pm and we still havent had dinner and more importantly,she has just had a cup of milk and 2 biscuits,tonnes of water..and a small dinner roll all day.
I am just hoping to get through this night..our doctor’s office is closed for the night..and she will not sit and wait endless hours in an ER.Just let this night pass..

This week has to go down in the history,where 3 year olds are concerned.Ms.Aadya has without a doubt been the naughtiest little girl on the planet,this last week.She has set a precedent..that her future sibling(s) will find hard to beat..By the time,she is all grown up,I’m pretty sure,I will just bat my eyelashes at whatever someone else’s kid has done,to scare the daylights out of them.
Lets start from Day1 of the week.Sunday evening,DH was watching the news,Aadi was playing around and I decided to take a bathroom break..I come out,DH is still watching TV and the house is silent..when Aadi is awake and the house is silent,its not a good sign..I found her in the ensuite bathroom,doing,what seemed like brushing her teeth.On closer observation,I discovered that she wasn’t brushing at all!She was actually guzzling down her toothpaste! It was tipped in her mouth and she was sucking at it,like a squeezy yogurt tube!! OMG!I took the toothpaste from her..rinsed her mouth,asked her,how much did she eat? And she tells me calmly,’No No I didn’t eat it..I drink it!’ Well,the tube was half full before,and after the said drinking it was almost empty.
I looked up online,didnt find anything,called two friends,they didnt know anything.Then,called the nurse,who asked me to call poison control.They asked me to give her some milk,because the Calcium,would absorb the excess of Flouride.And it was a good thing,that her toothpaste was a low-Flouride one.They said,to call back and bring her in,if she threw up.Thank fully,she didnt!
I kept the toothpaste on the microwave.
Monday,passed uneventfully..almost.She woke up from her nap and I was warming her milk,when someone came to the door.It was a salesperson.I came back,in 2 minutes!And guess what,in that time,she had managed to pull up a chair,to the microwave,got the paste down and was sitting and sucking it,AGAIN!!!I took the paste,threatened to take her to the hospital,for lots of tichus(injections) and that set her right.
Tuesday…was OK…the only thing that she wreaked was her cupboard..I went to her room,to get her night dress and saw that two whole shelves were empty and all the content was on the floor.
Wednesday-My purse got emptied..I had nearly $20 in change..and she put it all in her piggy bank..which didn’t have a back opening!!!
Thursday..was eventful from the start itself! So,we woke up together..mostly she lies in bed while I finish my morning routine..today,I had just closed the bathroom door and in less than 1 minute,she started screaming..hysterically.I freaked out,thinking,we had a break-in or something.The crying got worse.I came out to see her covered in my HERBAL face cream from India!I use it sparingly,to make it last longer.And here she is,face plastered with the said cream,lotsa of pink cream in her eyes,hands,hair..and she made quite a picture screaming..Mumma I am blind,I am blind… I wiped her face,hands,eyes etc..She smelled of the damn cream,even after a bath!
Then,around noon,I caught her with some tube..just in the nick of time! But what takes the cake was the evening bath.We put her in the tub..She plays,sings,one of us checks on her,every few minutes.DH checked on her and went back to check on her in 5-8 minutes.And he screamed-at her and yelled at me to come to the bathroom,right away.Guess what I saw???
The whole toilet paper roll was turned into a pulpy mush and was lying at the bottom of the tub!!The whole Darn toilet paper roll!!!! ugh…naturally we yelled and cleaned and yelled some more.She was told to go to bed right away..there were no stories nothing..
Thank God Friday is School day..Today started off late..I let her sleep in..but from there it when downwards..Even the smallest of things were enough to trigger off a tear-fest and we just about managed to get to school in time.The teacher ‘complained’ that she just doesnt sit on the mat,when all the kids are sitting down.When I asked Aadi,she told me that she kept running off and hiding..umm..I feel soo sad..I know I know its not a big deal..but coupled with the whole week..its like,she is suddenly so naughty..and I don’t know what to do about it. Don’t you dare say,”Howw Cute!!” Coz it sure is not cute,when your child’s teacher tells you that she doesn’t sit down and that you should keep reinforcing at home that she should sit and LISTEN!! 😦 😦
Anyway,the week is over,the weekend is here ..Hopefully,the next week will be better,as in there will be less naughtiness!
Have a good weekend you all!

LOL ..OK OK may be not atyachaar..but Ms.Aadya sure knows how to emotionally blackmail me.For the last couple of days,she has been asking me to make cookies..but,all the walking,the cold has been making me too tired to even think about baking.She asked again today at nap-time.I told her if she slept,I’ll make some..She didn’t ..so I didn’t make any.I thought the matter was closed.But I thought wrong!
I had a headche all day long and just got through it,one hour at a time,waiting for DH.When he came home,I finished cooking dinner and gave Aadi a massage.And then,I occupied the lounger seat of the couch and vegetated..ummmm NO! No sooner had I settled my heavy bottom on the seat,that Ms.Aadya started her emotional atyaachaar..”Noo..Noo you cannot sit down..Noo “
I moved to the next seat.“Noo I said,you cannot sit down..you have to make cookies“..
I begged ,grovelled ..”please baby..I’ll make it tomorrow”
” No then,I will be very sad..and I will cry..you have to make it today..koi good day main nahi banana..” [don’t make it in the morning]and on and on she went..till I finally took pity on my pounding head,told her to put her fingers on her lips and sit on the couch..she did..atleast for the first 10 minutes.
Then came to remind me..”Mumma,bhoolna bhi matt*,I want chocolate chips..” yes yes..how can I forget! [*Mumma Don’t forget]
5 minutes later- Mumma I am going to sit on the couch fingers on my lips,can I pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee get chocolate chips?
5minutes later-“Mumma,I want sit her and watch you..I want to watch my mumma“..By now,I was rolling the cookie dough.I have to tell u..we have a rule-She cannot pick the choc-chips from the dough..and when I am rolling..I cannot stick the ones that fall off,back..So,she took her place ,next to me..watching ,waiting for the choc-chips to fall.
Then,she helped cut some and the put them on the tray.When the cookies were ready,one little girl was veryyy happy.And we were give strict instructions to not touch ‘her’ cookies! I asked DH to taste and the cheeky monkey says,”No no Papa don’t eat,its too sweet!” LOL
Here are the said cookies:
I played around with Monika’s Recipe ..and added some oats to the flour. I love Monika’s recipes because..we think similar,in terms of reducing fat/sugar and using whole wheat flour instead of maida..do give this one a try!P.S. Don’t forget to leave a comment on my Li’l Birdie Giveaway post .thanks for the name,Shruti! To avoid confusion,I will not be replying to comments on that post,no offense anyone:)
P.P.S.-This post was written yesterday..but I need matter for a post everyday,because I signed up for NaBloPoMo again..so,I changed the date of the post!

This post is long over-due.I think way back..sometime in April,I said,that this blog’s visitor count was hovering near 15,000 and when it hits 15,000 I will announce a giveaway.No,I didn’t forget about it..I just didn’t get around to write a post about it.But,I didn’t stop thinking about it.
I thought long and hard..and I then I thought some more..about what to giveaway..to thank you lovely people for stopping by and for coming back,again and again..One thing kept coming to my mind and it was..”hand made”.The other thing that I thought about giving away was a collection of souveneirs from Melbourne..then,I thought no..there was nothing personal about that.So..I am going to stick with HandMade.
Remember Chup-Chup the birdie? No? Then,look here
