I miss you when you go to work

During Christmas and New Year, all of us took 2 weeks off from work and childcare. We had an amazing time as a family and a great holiday in Melbourne.

The first day back to childcare, while we were talking,

Chhori: “Mama, I will miss you when you go to work.”

It really touched my heart. I really wished we had more time off but life has to go back to normal.

Me: “I will really miss you when you are in childcare too but I will see you in the evening at home baby.”

Now, most of the days when I drop her to childcare, she says that she will miss me.

Sometimes when we kiss goodnight, she will say, “Mama, I will miss you when I go to sleep.”

My baby is growing up so fast. She is such an important part of our life and reason for our existence.

I wish our relationship will remain the same as she grows up.

I am boring

When kids start talking sometimes they don’t know how to construct a proper sentence but definitely know what they want to say so this is one of our conversation with Chhori during our trip to Melbourne. It was Day 2 of our trip. 

 Chhori: “Mama papa, I am boring? 

We looked at each other. 

AS: “Do you mean you are bored Chhori? 

Chhori: “No I am boring, I want to go to my brother’s (my nephew) house to play. I am boring.” 

Me: “So you are bored. That is what you should say, you are not boring.” 

Chhori: “No mama, I am boring 

She definitely was bored that day as it was raining in Melbourne and we took her shopping the whole day but she was adamant she was not bored, she was boring 🙂

Second winner 🥈 🥈

When we moved home, I have moved Chhori’s childcare as well.

One of the things she has learned in this new center is second winner. I am still not sure I agree or not but it seems to help Chhori understand second is ok sometimes.

Me: “Hurry up and finish brushing the teeth otherwise papa will be first and you will be last.”

Chhori: “NO mama, I will be first winner and Papa will be second winner. It is ok to be second winner sometimes.

AS seems to think that it is good to learn things like this so they accept not being first but I think I want her to understand the different between first and last, not everyone can and need to be a winner.

Do share your thought about it. 

Take care ,

Rainbow colour🌈🌈🌈

Chhori is 3.5 years old now and she is getting so smart day by day. The other day, AS wanted her to wear a twinkle toes shoes which was purple in colour but lights up in different colours.

So the father daughter had the following conversation

Chhori : “Papa I want a rainbow shoes please.”

AS: “Put on these shoes (pointing to the purple shoe), it has rainbow lights, red, blue, pink, white and black.

Chhori: “No papa, that’s is not a rainbow” and started singing the song.

Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too

That is rainbow papa, not white and black and other colours.”

AS: “Ohoo Sorry, I meant colourful shoes.”

Now who can argue with her as she is telling the facts?

I love to eavesdrop into father daughter conversation, it always manages to make me smile.

Take care everyone,

Ask google :)

I am sure, I can write a book full of conversation we have with Chhori these days. She is very observant and a quick thinker that it is easy to forget that she is only 3.5 years old.

One thing we seems to lose a lot in our household is the TV remote. I am constantly looking for it.

Me: “AS, have you seen the TV remote.

AS: “Check on the table, I saw it there last.

Me: “No, I looked everywhere, can’t see it.”

I saw Chhori walking to the room so,

Me: “Chhori, have you seen the TV remote.”

Chhori; “No mama but you can ask Google.

Me and AS started laughing because we never have thought that would be the answer 🙂.

The kids these days have no idea what life was like without technology. I constantly find her talking to Google Home asking to play song, turn on/off the light or turn on/off the TV. She thinks every screen on phone and laptop is touch screen and Google has been a part of our everyday life as we use it so often. No wonder she thinks I can ask Google to find the remote too 🙂.

Please do share your own experience.
