All in a day!

This morning we made breakfast together.. me and chinipie.. She was waiting for me to play with her and I had lots of work around the house.. I was trying to think hard what could be done before her patience ran out. So, i just asked her if she would like to help me making something special for papa (he was working from home) and her baby sister. She grew excited and immediately, got her foot-stool so that she cud help her momma out in the kitchen. We decided to make egg-rolls and she did her part of pouring the egg batter and pressing the roti's on the omellete with the spatula.. When two of them were ready to be served, she got some ketchup from the refrigerator and poured it on the plate trying to make a smiley face on it (just like mommy does for her) and handed it over to her dad in his home-office. Came back and, together,we continued making some more for herself, her baby sister and her mom. Poor thing didn't budge from her spot thoughthe heat from the girdle and the stove was getting too much for her to bear..


When we were done, I cut the rolls in half and wrapped them in li'l napkins n foil sheets so that the kids could easily hold 'n eat them, explaining to her what they were for. Then, I gave her the plate and we decided to have our breakfast in the balcony.. that's where me and the girls pretend to have our picnic when the weather is good. Meanwhile, I gathered the other stuff like juice, water, napkins, etc. I had expected her to have settled on the little picnic bench, waiting for me. But to my surprise, she was nowhere in sight, neither was the plate full of egg rolls. Instead, sugarbun was hiding her face in the lounge chair wailing her lungs out.. apparently terrified by a bumble bee(actually a wasp!) with her clothes wet from top to bottom. Poor thing was still in a state of shock to answer how she got wet! Assuming, that the chair must have been wet from last night's rain.. I took her inside, calmed her down and changed her. We(sugar and I) came back out in the balcony, with me promising her again and again that I will shoo the bee away next time it comes near her... and chini was still nowhere in sight.  I gave juice to sugar, still trying to think hard where her elder sis cud have possible vanished, when she came back chirping happily with the plate still in her hand. She sat down and served one of the rolls to sugar and started eating her own. With every bite, she would say, "They are good, momma!". That's when I realized that one of the rolls were missing from the plate. And being a mom, my heart lit up with a hope that she might have already devoured one of those.. and i asked her with a glee.. "honey, where is one of the rolls?" Prompt came the reply, "Actually, I gave it to papa and even, told him to take that wrapper off.. he is not supposed to eat it!" I just went speechless.. I have no words for what I felt then, and what I am feeling now.. We were, after all, making the breakfast for pa and sis, right? She made sure she served them, before she sat down to eat herself!!


Sugar added,"Thankyou didi, for making breakfast for me! It's yummy"


What a bliss to have daughters!!

Lemme talk about some very pinkalicious stuff my sugar does!


Sugar is a big jumperoo.. she just loves to jump all day - on the floor, on the stairs, on the couch, on the bed, in her crib. With every jump, she adds, "Mamma, I am a big Jumper!" and wouldn't stop saying it until I say, "Yes! you are!". Then she goes, " I aaarrrr.. I aaammm!" 


She just loves being tickled. She would come and lie down and just say, "Tickawwoo me!" and even before my fingers actually touch her, she starts giggling. And then, it would be her turn and with her tiny little fingers, she wud just touch me and say , "Tickawoo, tickawoo. I am a tickawoo bug!" The cuteness in itself  makes me giggle...


Couple of months ago, we had a family portrait session. Apart from the fact, that the pictures had come out well, it was fun.. all of us had enjoyed it a lot and the gals, in particular, were pretty excited throughout. For one of the pose, they were asked to put both their hands on their hips and stand. Sugar liked it so much, that many a times you can catch her standing or walking in that pose!


Sugar is one little royalty who just loves to wear dresses - morning, noon and night. She then holds it in a ballerina style and says, " Look mumma, I am a pretty pwreencess!"


And indeed she is Momma's little pwrincess!
