WOW moment of the day

Each day Nushki surprises me with a new word that makes me go, Wow thats a first. So I am going to keep appending to this list.

1. Mama - "Anushki don't keep your hands here, its .."
Anushka - "..dangerous"

2. We went to a chemist shop and the guy there handed her a candy. Later ajja asked her who gave her the candy and she said "Uncle"

3. As soon as we entered the park we hit a nice strong breeze and Anushka exclaimed "Wow.. Windy"

Betta now ?


I came back home with 3 bags of fruit for Nushki, she has been refusing milk the last couple of days since she donated her bottles to "Titi" hoping that "Titi" would return it back but Mama says that they now belong to "Titi" and so Anushka is kinda mad now and boycotted the lovely pink bottles I bought for her. Anyways..
I got home and she was busy playing with her bhaiyya, she glanced at me once and gave me a smile but that was it, no hugs, no kisses, not even a Hi. I tried to call her a few times but she was too engrossed in her play and kept saying "No dada. No dada". So I left her alone, patiently waiting my turn to play with her. Later when bhaiyya left she looked around the room and saw Dada sulking in his chair. So she approached me and said Dada's lap, Dada's lap. Now it was my turn to say No, so I said "No Anushka, No Anushka".
Anushka looked confused and looked at Mama for an answer. Mama told her that Dada was sad because you did not kiss him and hug him when he came home. Then Anushka came towards me, planted a sweet kiss on my cheek, gave me a nice hug, looked me in the eyes and said "Better now" ?

I miss my dada,

19th Feb 09
So much!

When I miss my dada, I cry for him. Every morning, I wake up and look to my right side, thinking my Dada is sleeping beside me. I ask Mama, “Where’s Dada”? She says, “Dada Seattle”. I wonder, “Where is Seattle?”

When I play some fun games with Mama and want to share with my dada; I call out for him, “Dada, daaadaaa”. But he never comes. Again Mama says, “Remember Dada is far away in Seattle. Dada airplane”. But I thought Mama said Dada was in Seattle. Now why is he in Airplane?

When I have achieved something and Mama claps for me, again I call out for my dada. But I go to an empty room. Dada’s not there, oh yes, dada is in Seattle.

When Mama gives me High-five, she pretends to fall back as my high-five is very strong. I enjoy this game and would say, “Dada high-five”. I know, dada is away, but I like taking his name.

When I build a house with my blocks, I say, “Show dada, show dada”. Now, Mama only smiles and gives me a big hug. She tells me that we can show it to him when dada comes online.

When I talk to him on the phone, I like no one with me or around me. It’s only me and my dada. I tell him how much I miss him. I tell him how much I am looking forward to playing silly games with him. I tell him about the colors of the cars that I want him to bring. I tell him about the cookies and cakes that I have baked with Mama, and how much I want him to taste it .I tell him about going to school and how much I wish he is there to see me climb and ride the bike. I tell him about the puppies and cats that I see on the road. I tell him about what a big girl I have become. I tell him about how much I love him and hope for him to sit on that airplane and come home soon.

When Mama asks me how much I miss Dada, I bring out my two arms and say, “So much”!

When I miss my precious Dada, I spend days painting him the BIGGEST and the BESTEST picture.

Doll Play

20th Feb 09

You are very affectionate towards your dolly. Every morning, right after you wake up, you will call out for her. You massage your dolly, dress and undress her, powder her, feed her milk, share your food with her and sometimes give her a bath (or rather just plunge her in the water, and dolly has to be out in the sun for a few days). Today, after you got up, there were different types of papers for you to explore with. You seemd to be having fun with the different textures and wanted to share this with dolly. Mama handed you your dolly.


"Mama, dolly cry. Wah-wah-wah". (You say it in the cutest way, with your furrowed eyebrows).


"Oh, oh, oh". Dolly hungry.



Looking for something to feed your dolly.


"Dolly, yummy yummy dudu".

"Burp". Mama dolly do burp.


"Okay dolly, time to sleep". You then hum a song to your dolly. (Dolly slept beside you and you went about your exploration).
