Aghoo's fun weekend !

Aghoo had a  fun weekend this week.


Friday
I left early from work and went to pick up Aghoo. Dada was assigned the boring task of grocery shopping. Since we eat out on friday evenings, I did not have to rush home to make dinner. We pass our city's lake and its attached park everyday on our way home from day care. Poor Aghoo asks to go to the park everyday. So, we went on friday and had a fun time playing. Our  friend V mami decided to join us and more fun was had.

We then met up with our old friends- T aunty and S uncle. V mami and V mama decided to join us as well and more fun was had :) . Awesome food at PF changs!

Saturday
We woke up and spoke over facetime to daddy thatha and P patti ( my parents) .S aunty had invited us to her house for lunch. V mama/ V mami and Pamai joined us for lunch too. S aunty's mom and Mil are here currently and they made AMAZING food- which was hogged shamelessly by all of us.
Here is the amazing menu

beans parupu usili- Amma and Aghoo's favorite!!
Aviyal
Vengaya sambar
pine apple rasam
curd rice
aval pongal

Coming to dessert, it actually was a surprise birthday party for me- so yummilicious cup cakes was served!Again, stuffed our faces.

Then came the fun part for Aghoo. H-san and S-aunty set up a bouncy house in their backyard . Aghoo pappa and S pappa had sooo much fun. All the thatha/patties/ Ava/ mama/ mamis also joined the fun.

For dinner, we went to one of my  relative- V chithi's place. Their little baby , baboo is the cutesttttt!!!
She is one year old - Aghoo had lot of fun playing with baboo baby too. Another awesome dinner cooked by V chithi's mnom- parata/aloo- patani sabzi, dal, poli . YUM!

We then came home exhausted and slept till 9 am in the morn.

Sunday
Woke up and lazed around.Begged/cajoled Aghoo in to eating little bit of cereal and milk.
We had VJ mama and S mami ( our friends ) coming home for lunch. So we made the following

Egg Fried rice and chicken curry ( made by amma)
Egg masala( made by Ava)
Raita( made by dada).

This was also the day we decided to leave Aghoo diaper free , in hopes of the starting the potty training battle (!). After 3 accidents in the living room, it was close to lunch time- we gave up and dada took Aghoo to give her a shower and put a diaper on her :(. Need to resume next weekend.

Vj mama and S mami came and played a lot with Aghoo papa.They also brought yummy sweets from a new Indian place. After they left,Aghoo and amma slept for 3 hrs :).
Dada then took Aghoo to the neighborhood park and amma made Rava dosai and thengai chutney.
We then went off to lala land .

All in all, a good weekend for Aghoo and all of us :)



The one in which she sings

Aghoo loves to sing- though she doesnt get all the words right, she will confidentley sing her own version. Here are some samples.

Barney's I love you song- I love you, mee na tu ..and then some gibberish.
this old man- Thish ol man, thish ol man, this ol man( in the correct tune )!!
one / two , buckle my shoe- one , two, masha koo,thee four, that the doo :)
kannazhaga- kaaalaaga, kaaaalaga( also imitates shruti's voice, by singing this in a high pitched false voice).

She also loves to wave her hand to kannazhaga..learnt this form one of our friends:).She gets in the car and says"amma no koveri ( kolaveri) ok? want kaaaalaaga"

The other day we were waiting at a signal on our way to day care. She saw a doggie and the doggie started to walk. She says

" Hi Doggie
Gu morning Doggie
no coming doggie (  i.e. dont move)
akka pannu ( sit down)
gu girl pannu ( be a good girl)
 (and the doggie kept moving so,)
see you in the morning Doggie"

She is also such a girlie- girl. Loves to dress up in " nu nu dress" , wear " 1 ,2 clip" or sometimes " 1,2 kumini ( kudumi). She also wears her sun glasses and chooses her own shoes :)

She will preen in front of the mirror for at least 10 min everyday.
