Adhu's fifth bday party

This time  Adhu's birthday was celebrated in a straight, , simple yet fun filled way. We called her close friends whom she plays with every day . The kids were super kicked and theyll hadsuper fun.
Adhu and her friends jumped, danced and ate together. That too their chats while eating was a delight to watch. We ordered a beautiful princess cake, muffins, puffs , chips and french fries and topped up with juice
We organized passing the parcel game and all the kids went berserk playing it. When a kid had to do an activity related to the game, all kids did it together.  Like, sound like an elephant, all kids  did it. Sing for lungi dance, all kids sang in chorus.
It was a delight to see everyone singing birthday song for Adhu.All in all, we enjoyed her  birthday party very well

Oct 3 2013

Hi Advitha, you turned five.it looks like a magic number achieved. Wow! ! Five long adventorous years each painted with different colours.This year has just been wonderful.The themes I can say are
Friends
Yes! you got lots of friends and I am seeing you playing like a butterfly with them, thanks to your mingling with them, I can see  your confidence level  soar, you have become a no-inhibition gal and extremely active. Your TV time is considerably reduced to the extent of just half an hour every day, though I can see the aggressiveness and rebel nature more because of your friendships, net net I am only happy.your best friend is right now sanjana, third std kid and she calls you Adhu sweety...but pls dont be with your friends for a long time as I really miss you baby and pls also dont bore me with the dialogues you have with your friends, it is difficult to put a big laugh for those..

Big sister
This year has been special for you, you turned a big sister. i have no doubt about your immense affection for your lil sis. you get angry if i didn't take her susu in time, you wanted to select her dress, you are kissing her gently and if i am shouting at you to eat and when akshara cries at the sametime, you immediately say 'amma go take care of akshi, i will eat'. Yes, i know you brat, this is only to escape from my bawling, still your sentences related to your sissy is too cute. But i am seriously stunned that you dont show any sign of posessivess. Great going gal, you wanted only a sister and you got one..

Eating
You have certainly improved miles. You eat on your own. Though you take 45 minutes for a meal, you have improved tons and i am certainly proud of you
Revelations
You give stunning statements:
'Amma when i become a mother, i will be nice'.
' Amma, i am too tired of your shouting, you stop shouting and i will not behave like a bad gal'. God!who taught you to speak like this? i am only stunned
you love your bama paati a lot, you love your friends, you love your drawing and colouring, you love your school and you love DANCING! how can i miss your dancing, the recently joined bharatnatyam class is making a huge impact that you answer all my questions with dance which is too much at times..
What else!  Adhu, there will be people around judging you and criticising you to dim your confidence. Just don't be bothered my lil gal, be yourself and reach your fantasies and dreams. Be it dance, drawing, playing, singing just pursue your interests and enjoy your life.
My lovely lil baby, i love you loads and its great  to be a part of you

Love
Amma

one month old Akshu and big eater Adhu

As Akshsra turns a month old the house is really on its feet.Akshi (as Adhu sweetly nicknamed her) does what she is supposed to do with taking her feeds systematically , poos , giving me sleepless nights and now the lil thing is down with cold as well.....
Adhu , the big sis has accepted sisterhood very well , she says often that she loves her sissy loads and have also gracefully accepted her sissy's susu's in her dress without complaint. .
But all cannot be rosy...Adhu's eating habits is worse to say the least. ..madam does not eat anything in the morning and by 1 when she is back from school the first thing she sayss is 'mumma can I have a leave for food' ...phew!!! I hope I only have enough patience managing this brat....
But then there is always a silver lining. ..its adorable to see Adhu pampering her lil sis , dancing for her and gently kissing her
So net net....right now Akshara 's sleepless nights and Adhu's eating habits have become the current theme of the home....

sisters

Advitha is showing positive signs of being an elder sister. .absolutely no signs of possessivenes; shows streaks of affection by saying statement s like 'mumma switch off the fan-baby will feel cold', but gets irritated when we ask her to handle the baby carefully. .we are being adequately careful in giving our restrictions to her..lets see what behholds
Akshara-inputs, outputs, dirtying diapers...thats it for now

Akshara Aravind arrives

Yes we have got a younger daughter now and Advitha has now become an elder sister. .
She longed for a sister and she got one...
For us as well, two daughters are our first choice than a daughter and a son
.I had the same happiness when the doctor said its a girl..
AKSHARA has introduced us to a new world.
Made me a mother of two.....gave us new titles..Welcome my younger baby, you robbed our hearts immediately you came..I know its an uphill task but we are all set dear..



...

big girl to be big sister

.

My big girl all set to become a big sister soon. i know that ull be a hands on sister. I was moved yesterday when u offered to get a dress for 'baby puppy' (as u call the to be born one) from ur piggy bank saving.  Lets all  be set for the ride

Thankful dialogue from Adhu

During a cosy night before putting Advitha to sleep, the conversation went on like

Me: Luvu dear, good night
Adhu: I luv u more than U LOVE ME mumma..!!

What a shock...a minute i was spellbound and heartborken..Then how else will a working mother, now-a-days strict mother who is always thronged with guilt feel..But still a BIG thanks my dear gal for your love. To get loved is a great, overwhelming feel...Proud of u..
