Thursday challange




Linked to:  Thursday Challange (Family Photo theme)

Chitter-Pitter


Lets have a glimpes:

When Sarang wears officeware,”daddy office? Officeoffice? Dady-bus, daddy,, fittin?(take yr tiffin), bye daddy”....

When I cook something for him, and he likes taste then..”mumma, yimmie yimmie, mumma thnx”. And when he gets full, he starts feeding me..:) I cannot put the voice modulation here how I feel, and the expressions on his face in writing for “yimmie and thnx” but he looks just soooo adorable. Thanks to you meri jaan for appreciation.

Till date he has fear of police, when I want him to sleep(not whole day, everytime),
 “police is coming” is sufficient.:-)

When I ask him”dhyey why are you at home today”, he says” mumma Sunday”(though it may be week days)

Actually I forgot to write about this incident in my last post, it may seem senseless to you but I want to record it for memory so I thought I will write here.
Scene: Harlin, his building friend met with an accident last month and she injured her nose, fortunately she was fine after an hour. Dhyey was in school at that time, when he came back I told him about incident.
Me: “ didi dudhu nahi pi rahi thi to usko nosi par lag gai, aap jaldi se finish karo”
He:  he pointed his nose and said “didi, nosi, shuahh, didi dudhu,bhap” ,means didi ko bahot chot aayi he, dudhu pilena, nahi to fir se gir jaogi) but this formula doesnt works for him..**sigh**
Now the aspect of the story that he has not been able to forget the incident. And everytime I asked to finish something or to make something , he ends up showing his nose and “didi nosi bhap”, meaning "kar lo, nahi to didi jese lagegi". I am yet to figure out why is he not being able to stop thinking about the same. And all these happened for almost one month.

I always try to ask him about his day at playschool, he doesn’t tell me much really, except for some nodes to my questions. But when matter is about his friends he tells concerning all his friends I mean what his friends do there.
He does imitation of his school friends, for example, last week shreya got runny nose, so often he does her mimicry at home and shows me,”mumma shreya nose and he acts ”,  he will make some funny face and says “mumma aahan this”—aahan ese karta hey, ridhima-car(ridhima got car 2day), tisya orange muahh (tisya likes orange) , neil not jump(neil don’t jump) chatar-janaman gan(teacher sings janganman), he never completes his sentences but by merging his words and expression I can frame it into sentence.:-) really, these days its lovely to see him talking.

When something(mostly his schoolbags and water bottle) is broken: he asks for newone and says" teacher- tutu-tutu(broken out)"
(his teacher told me regarding this, he has broken 2 school bags and 2 water bottles in a month, he never hangs his bag at proper place. He lift it and carry along with him for full school hours, when teacher asks him to hang at proper place he starts crying , mumma pease ma bottle ma bag), so I started giving one extra bag for his diper, extra set of clothes and napkin and tiffin box, so that he can move and play easily with his empty school bag( I did not let him know that I gave one of his bag to his teacher), but he knew the thing and now he carries two-bags plus water bottle in his little hand. I mean no use to send him with other extra bag… now you tell me what to do with this kid, he does not want his things to be touched by anyone, infact he does not like concept of sharing… ,he wants himself to be untouched according to her teacher.

You are so kind-hearted!!
when somebody hurts (it may be me, his dady or building friends), he runs and stands with cream, “mumma cream lagao, shuahhh-usko lagi hey”

one more: last week i asked him to get hair oil for sarang’s massage
He came back after 5 minutes with his own hair oil bottle. He did so because he couldn’t find ours. And in real it was not at right place I knew it later when I checked it.It was really lovely moment for me, he gave me oil anyway , even if he could not find a proper one.

When sarang diverts his mind (when he behaves badly or when he doesn’t allow to feed, ) :
Sarang:” Dhyey taru nosee pigeon lai gayu”
Dhyey:” “points his nose and says a ache”
S: “dhyey na hair pegion lai gayu”
D: “Dhyey na   che….”
Meanwhile I complete to fed him or a task for that fun was going on..

One of these days , he said something and I shouted at him. So he walked slowly near me,held his ear and said:”cholli mumma, pease, pease, no guccha”
Me:” No, its not okey”, he went to his dad and started crying with complain:”Neny, mumma guccho mumma guccho”, and then his dad is the clearly favourite parent :-)
I sometimes tell him that I will not talk to you , if you behave like this , usually when he is misbehaving badly. he holds his ear and  patches up within minutes. He really cannot bear me not talking to him and gets upset if I still don’t give in.

These days he constantly suprises me with his logic and understanding of things around him. Before few days I was peeling garlic skin, he took single garlic clove, kept downside and said: “mumma moon” turned position of clove upside and said “car” (just like half circle)Now,this makes me realize how fast he is growing up..:), kids think like sometimes we cant imagine even.

Yesterday night He took my hand into his and wrapped it around his hand and hugged it tight and said "mumma daklo, mumma daklo" (mumma’s son). I was feeling so blessed….(touch wood)

he knows some colors(red,yellow,orange) and basic shapes. He is still weak in alphabet recognizion. He is able to explain what he likes and what bothers him(specially dipers). Yes now he is getting diper-free zone.

If i ask him, "dhyey meri jan" he responce with "i love you"

Sometimes I am so short of words,I just want to say you baby, your unconditional love has made our lives more precious, There is lot more but I just cannot recall, so let it be just this , before I post something new :-)
 we love you jaan..

FOOD FOOD AND FOOD



I was just going back at the time that passed by and I felt that through out my journey of motherhood I did most challenging job on my own very well and I feel satisfied about it.And yes it was only my decision what should be fed to my child Infact I have not just planned his daily meal, I have fed him with my fingers.(I mean not even sarang n set of mums).:)and that makes me feel pretty satisfied. I think “how to feed kids, what and when to feed kids” is the most toughest  job for all moms.In my case I suffered many times on different stages for dhyey’s poor diet, needless to say, dhyey was unwell at that time, it may be the reason but now I am quite satisfied with his diet.in short I have not much complains regarding his diet except milk.

I have never forced him to eat. But milk is something thats vital. So sometimes he drinks with incentives like new cups , different glass, some chocolates, some stories, outing, changed flavours and all that. Before few days I was going through some articles they mentioned a food chart for toddlers . I was really shocked really kids eat this much as per they described in chart? Or is it their wish to eat them? One thing I all the time believed was that I cannot, could not and should not follow any meal plan or diet chart available on internet. Yes sometimes I pick up some healthy recipes or new ideas from some sources(I read plenty of material on baby feeding) but I never really got stuck to one. I just grabbed whatever I liked from each of them. And one thing that I grabbed was that we should try and include all the different food groups in every day’s diet. I just consider the foods are rich in carbohydrates ,fats , protiens and includes veggies and fruits (seasonal).

These days I include (uttapam, rotis or parathas with chocolate-dryfruit spread, with chessy creamy spread, variation in rice –pulao and khichdi, different pancakes, pasta, Maggie with multigrain,dairy product(curd,yoghurt, sliced cheese,butter), upma,poha, some dryfuits, milk-oats, thepla, stuffed parathas, different kind of dals, soups,some row fruits and veggies as much as possible) with some variation in his weekly plan or diet. I try to make balance between taste, health and possibility.
It doesn’t mean I don’t respect my child’s preferences and I go through this only but I do it and try to introduce healthy foods to him, and never force him to complete it, I believe if he is hungry he would have it and one day of hunger or junk food doesn’t mean to the end of his growth.

He eats what I prepare for us, and on weekends sometimes we go out then he also enjoys burger or fries or anything we eat, be it junk foods at a times.:) And I think kids are really not mistaken all the time, they need variety in food too, if I get bored of same stuff daily so will he.Tthey follow by example like if I indulge into lots of junk food or frozen or ready to eat food, so would they, they should get it slowly and steadily I think so. In all I am happy with the way I am doing at least in this field of parenting. Touch wood ….. :-)
Its not that feeding him has been easy like it seems in this post. I have my own bad days ,he literally does not want to eat or takes his plate and goes to neighbor’s home and then becomes too cranky and fuzzy eater.(esp last year) but then I have learnt to live with them.
Thank you dhyey for inspiring my cooking art...!!

My story and rhymes


Actually I forgot to post this one and found it in draftbox, so I thought to post it better late than never. When we were on mini vacation at ahmedabad(15th august-22 august), he made story in presence of my family.
Dhyey’s First Story in his words:
“so many monkeys were came, and taken all lemons, then monkeys went to office by train, they drunk lemon juice there , and train got an accident, police came and they caught monkey, and police also taken all lemon from nanu’s home and they had juice too.
Ofcourse his story is not meaningful and may be it seems silly to all,but i want to record for him(***for his child***** :-) ) but we really enjoyed it and couldn’t control on our laughing..:P, isn’t it funny and amusing still lovable??

Addicted to add:” there is lemon plants at my dady’s home, so he used to ask for lemon juice 2-3 times in a day,police is still in his mind, train-his favourite transportation, dady’s office time-dhyey’s unwanted time and often monkeys come there at nana’s home so he mixed it and made story!!”

Few days back he was singing rhymes:
“Johnny Johnny ye papa,
Johnny wo papa,
Ye sugar, no papa,
Mouth-hahahha”

Another one:
“tinkla tinkla starts,
Oya, oya what are”

And old mcdonald was translated like:
“olda olda eya eya ooo”

Complete pack..


How do they manage to be cute littleone, naughty monkey and sweetheart all in a day???


When you goes off to school,you look so cute littleone, and then mom feels so alone at home without you for three hours though she remains busy with household chores, she just thinks of you during her work. she feels saddy and no single smile at all….
(when I drop him to school, I am having always same questions, will he eat his snack on his own or will they help him?, will he tell pee n poo to his teacher, as I am sending him without dipers from this week, will he be protected there?what will he like better? Will he enjoy there?,,… etc)
And so me being me, mostly I am having butterflies in my stomach when I go to pick him up..

Naughty monkey,, after school, you make naughtiest face possibles and demands for stuff that I cant give you …, your naughty behaviour, silly stories and rhymes making us happy.

Sweetheart,,  I am feeling blessed when u hugs me tightly and when you give me N number of kisses at bedtime.
