Day care and other things

Aghoonoosh has been going to the day care for 3 weeks now and has had the cold for 2 weeks :(. She seems to be having a lot of fun at the DC. She has a new habot- giving "ubbbbbbbbbbbbbba" ( flying kiss) to anyone she deems worthy.

Dada and amma beg her for "ubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbba" all the time- sometimes she does them spontaneously and those times are the bestest!

She still wails when I drop her off at the day care- but apparently she calms down in a few minutes.When I pick her up in the evenings, she lets out this war cry and has a huge grin on her face :).She starts waving "tata" to Asha auntie as soon as she sees me LOL !

She now says "amamama" when she feels like it and calls her chithi " ava" :P
The other day , I was away on a business trip and came back home fater her bed time- when I went into her bedroom and picked her up,she smelled me for a minute and went "amamama" in this joyous/surprised tone, almost as if she was saying " hey- where did you go? and you are back!"


Dear baby,
Some words of wisdom from me
1)Always find joy in the small things in life- like you do now :)
2) Be generous with your love and give "ubbbbbbbbbbbba" to your loved ones often.
3) Drink lots of water and continue loving your fruits.
4) Everything happens for a reason - once you accept this, life gets easier.

5) There are always shades of grey- life isn't black and white

Love you loads babynoosh!

Day 3 of Daycare

This morning , Aghoo was cheerful in the car generally chattering and playing with her Violet.We went into the day care and Asha aunty was in the restroom. So , one of the other teachers tried to take Aghoo. She bawled her head off :(. I should have waited for Asha aunty .. Sorry baby..


I was told that she was doing just fine- 10 min later when I called. Aghoo ma- thank you being such a sweetheart and adapting to any change we throw in front of you..Love you loads!

The month that was

Dear Aghoo,
The last one month has been very very special to both you and me. My dad ( your VC thatha) finally made it to our home to spend some time with you.

It was so endearing to see him play funny little games with you.You started warming up to him , after a week and how! You learned to mimic his whistle and his signature look. You love to take his glasses from him- in fact thatha left his glasses here in hopes that it will remind you of him :).

Every morning , he will be waiting for princess " baboo" ( as he calls you) to make an appearance. He even synced his nap times with yours :P.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see you two bond .Once again, I am left with this bitter feeling of guilt- of robbing your grandparents from spending time with you, because we live so far away!sigh!

In updates for this month,
1) You can now pray with your hands when asked to do "ummachi kapathu or vanakam"
2) You can walk! you keep making trips around the kitchen and dining area all day long :P
3) You oblige us with a wet kiss when asked- only if you are in the mood.
4) Similarly flying kissies are equally rare- but offered as deemed necessary by you :).
5) You sing - yes - when asked to " paatu padu".You go "aaaaaaaaaa". So cute!
6) You also do actions for the first two lines of "twinkle twinkle" :)


Another major development, you have started daycare since yesterday. In true Aghoo fashion you accepted this new change without much ado- while I, on the other hand, was a mess! You took to Asha aunty instantly and went to her ( without crying) this morning too.More updates to come in that department.Love you sweetheart and thank you for being so cheerful!
