Aghoo's OCD

1) when she puts her lovey-violet the doggie- to sleep, the little hand towel she uses as a sheet CANNOT have any creases. If it does,she will not just straighten the crease, but she will first odharify it( don't know word in English) a couple of times and place it carefully on the floor.

2) When she goes to sleep, the bed room door HAS to be closed.

3)when she goes to sleep, she should switch the fan on.Also both the green and red lights on the fan should be ON. The red light indicates speed and the green light indicates timer. So , if we switch off the timer and she sees that the green light is off- even in the middle of the night- she will get off the bed and go switch it on.

- we have a remote for the fan and we evil parents switch off the green light all the time to watch her irritation;)

4) there is a pink sheet under her high chair to catch all the mess- she won't eat if the sheet is folded even slightly. It has to be perfectly crease free!

5)Any spills or "ya ya "s need to be cleaned immediately by Amma. She won't leave me alone until I clean whatever mess is bothering her. Most times she herself will try to clean it with a dish rag:)

Aghooisms

Aghoo is so into books right now *preen*. She loves bringing her oob (LOL- thats what she calls books :)).
So, this morning, she got frightened by the cooker's whistle . I was trying to distract her and asked her to bring a book. She brought this one.we get to the last page, where the books says the baby bird lives with its family. Here is how the conversation goes.

Amma:- In the baby bird's home, it lives with its amma bird and dada bird.

Aghoo- yeah  which is her favorite word right now :)

Amma:- So who lives in Aghoo's home?

Aghoo:- Ava, Amma, Dada and Cuckerrrrrrrrrrrrr ( cooker ) LOL!


Aghoo's language

oob- book

Pashta- pasta

There are many many more things and songs and Aghooisms- which I cant seem to recall right now :(.
Aghoo's dada is India on business ( grrrrrrrrrrrrr) and we are both missing him a lot. We can DEFINITELY be pacified with material gifts though- just saying :)
Aghoo papa woke up screaming for dada this morning :(:(..


For you UD

Dear most UD

It is not fair that I live so many many miles away from you.Where did that promise of "moving to the US at least for a short while" go ?
I hate the fact that I haven't seen you since May 2008 ( thank God for official India trip :)).I soooooooooooooooo hate the fact that I wont be seeing you this year when I come down to India either ( don't burn me- I will explain over phone).

You know what I hate most? That my Aghoo hasn't met her aunt UD yet and I wont be meeting your little panda anytime soon. Not fair at all!

When I need you most, when I want to talk to you ( like the last couple of days)- mundane things like time difference and work come in between us and I let the moment pass. When I finally wrap up my chores for the day and think about calling you, your work day has already begun. Its not fair you know!

I just wanted to write this for you - because I feel terribly guilty that I wont be visiting you and more importantly - your panda this time :(

There is always hope for a next time- illa?

Love,
me


PS:- my other blog is dead - so writing in this one..
