Chhori said :Passing on the Donut

Posted on June 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

So, lately, Chhori’s been tagging along on my Sunday walks which we usually go with one of my friends and her daughter. We start off together, but after about 45 minutes, we drop the kids off at home and continue on to finish our 10-kilometer run while the kids have breakfast.

Last week, when we got back, I asked Chhori what she had for breakfast at my friend’s place, and she said she had some bread and eggs. But then, she dropped a surprise – my friend’s daughter had offered her a donut, and she turned it down!

I was stunned and had to ask why, because, let me tell you, this girl loves her donuts. Her response? “Well, didn’t you tell me to eat less junk food? So, I figured it was too early to indulge on the doughnuts.”
I couldn’t believe my ears! I’ve been preaching the gospel of healthy eating and cutting down on junk food to both my kids, but I never realised it was sinking in this well.

I’m beyond proud of Chhori’s decision, and I hope this sets the tone for her making healthy choices for the rest of her life. Proud mum moment, indeed!

Chhori said : Wish Upon an Eyelash

Posted on June 19, 2024 | 1 comment

There’s a little quirk about me: ever since I was a kid, whenever I spot an eyelash fall on someone’s face, I scoop it up and initiate the eyelash wish ritual. You know the drill – close your eyes, blow the lash away, and make a wish. It’s a tradition I’ve carried into adulthood, and now, even with my own kiddos.
The other day, as I was cruising along with Chhori in the car, I caught sight of an eyelash perched on her cheek. Naturally, I seized the moment and prompted her to close her eyes, make a wish, and blow it away. And guess what? She did!

After it was done, I couldn’t resist asking her what she wished for. At first, she hesitated, but then she spilled the beans – she wished for a million bucks. Classic, right? But here’s the kicker: her reasoning melted my heart. She wanted to buy food so I wouldn’t have to work as much. Talk about being considerate!

Of course, I had to play it cool and not get all emotional. So, I casually mentioned that a million dollars is a pretty hefty sum and asked if she had any other wishes. And you know what she said? She wanted to jet off to Japan with the family, flying business class no less!

Now, Japan has been on her mind for a while, and even though we’ve been there before, she doesn’t remember much. Looks like I’ll have to start planning that Japan trip soon!

Do you have any quirky traditions like our eyelash wishes? I’d love to hear your stories!

Chhori said : When Your Workout Turns Deadly… Kind Of

Posted on June 17, 2024 | Leave a comment

So, picture this: I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard this week, you know, trying to stay fit and all that jazz. But today, when I finally plopped down on my sofa after a particularly intense HIIT session, I realised something… my legs were not happy campers.

I attempted to get up, but it felt like my legs were staging a rebellion against me. So, naturally, I blurted out, “My legs are killing me!”

And guess who decides to chime in, none other than my wise little Chhori. She looks at me with this innocent expression and goes, “How can your legs be killing you? It’s not like they have a knife!”

Seriously, folks, I was speechless. 😂 Anyway, just another day in the life of a fitness enthusiast trying to navigate the hazards of post-workout soreness!

We went to IKEA the other day and both AS and I were busy looking at furniture. After a few minutes when we turned around ,we found Chhori was making herself comfortable in a chair and reading their catalogue. Look at the photo. We know for sure that she is a princess  🙂 . My cheeky monkey!

Have a great day everyone.

No phone please …

Sometimes we learn so much from kids. As an adult we sometimes forget that kids are so smart and learn so much from their environment.

I mostly feel that Chhori is very small and forget that she already knows so much. She surprised us when she stared to join our conversations. Whenever AS or I ask a question to each other, if she knows the answer, she will say it. Sometimes it has caught us off guard but we love it as it beings a smile to both of our faces.

Lately we are giving her a lot less screen time so she can play with her toys and be active more. It is working well except that sometimes she will say “TV please mama”.  I see her pretend play with her cars, teddies and dolls. It is so interesting and surprising at the same time as she repeats things that we say to her like ” No baby ” or ” Eat more please” etc.

Yesterday, both AS and I were on our phones updating our grocery list and Chhori was dancing to one of her rhymes and suddenly she came to us and said “No phone mama”. I didn’t quite get it at first but when she said it again, I did and put my phone down. Then she went to AS and said, “No phone papa.” He obliged and she instructed both of us to stand up and start dancing with her.

Both of us could not help but laugh as that is what we usually tell her and now she was reminding us of that.

I am loving being a parent to this smart little cutie pie.

Do share any unexpected conversation by your kids. I am sure there are some fun and embarrassing ones too.

Have a great day everyone.
