Raising from the ashes..

Many many things happened in the past few months - that I have had no time or the mood to pen anything.
Aghoo's dear dear patti ( my mother in law) passed away on May 14th. To say that it was a shocker is an understatement. We are trying to get back to normal( what ever that means) - Aghoo is a great distraction.
Aghoo's dada was really close to his mom - it helps a lot to have a walking talking 24 hr entertainment channel in the house.
My Prayer to her - Please watch over Aghoo and all of us aunty. We love and miss you :(


Since this is supposed to be a happy blog, I will not dwell too much on the sadness and move on...

*****************************************************************************************

Aghoo can pretty much communicate very well with us these days. Words she says
Amma- Mom
Dada- Daddy
Ava- chithi ( my sister)
Thatha-both the grand fathers
mummummmmmmm- food
pahpaaah- Milk
popaaaah- thoppai.my stomach :P .. this is a tricky one as it is really similar to pahpaah ( milk ) lol!
puuuuuuuuuah- poo, as in flowers as in garden - so to go out :)
nah nah- No/I dont want it.
bummm- self evident :)
Iya- In answer to the " whats your name" question.
when asked " ***( her real name) pappa yaaru?" ( who is *** pappa?), She says " naan naan" 
baaaaaaaaa- carry me :)
vavava- come
bow bow- dogs/ cats/ horses /elephants- anything with 4 legs.

She can also show her head/nose/ eyes and thoppai ( stomach).She can imitate a dog( bow bow), a cat ( meow), a cow( maaaaaaaaaaaaa) and a duck (kack kack- her version of quack quack).

She also pretends to carry on a conversation on the phone- says " haaaaooo( hello), hmm , mummmumm, pah paaah.. :)".It doesnt have to be a phone- anything with keys- TV remote controller/ AC remote controller etc.

She can also show emotions- imitating how Aghoo pappa cries/ becomes angry or is happy :P

Aghoonoosh has such a strong personality and everyone in house tries not to be in her path when she is " angry"!

Aghoo went to India for the first time and had a ball with grandparents/ chitappa and various other thatha-pattis chithis etc.

I am hoping to be more regular in chronicling Miss Aghoo's tales from on- fingers crossed.
