Yesterday morning, the daughter wanted to put on socks+shoes on her footie-pj's. I kept telling her they won't fit, but she was persistent. So I put the socks on, and as soon as I put one shoe on, she tells me: "See I told you"! - LOL!

At daycare, I gave her a gujju snack. Her daycare provider did not know what it was. So madam was teaching her how to pronounce it...she asked her to repeat after her: "say gaaa" "theeeee" "yaaaa" "gathiya" - the lady was laughing so hard. She called me and made me listen to the conversation over the phone :)!
*********************************************************************************
Today morning, it was very chilly when I put her in her carseat.
I asked her: "R are you cold"
She says: "I think so"
And after a pause, she asks me: "mummy are you cold?"
I said: "yes I am"
So she tells me: "oh come on"
What is that supposed to mean, I have no idea :)!

My awesome friend Preeti Shenoy's new book "The Secret Wish List" is being released on Dec 14th. She is hosting a creative prompt series "Wish List Wednesdays" and the prompt for today is "The three things I badly wish I could have are......" and here is my response:
After my daughter's birth, I try to live in the moment, in the present...most of the time. I don't make too many plans for the future..neither do I worry much about what will happen 5 years or 10 years from now. I am content each day if I have lived it fully, and have had moments of fun and creativity. As a mom, I feel at peace when I've managed to keep both my kids happy and well fed and clean.
So what I wish right now is:
1) for both the kids to be healthy and happy
2) to be able to give my best to my children, family and profession, and go to bed each day feeling content and peaceful
3) to be able to find time to help those who are in need.
It's really that simple for me. I feel very blessed and grateful for all I have, so there is nothing tangible that I badly want.

I still cannot upload any pictures to the blog....have sent a request to Google storage for fixing the issue - no update yet. Hope it resolves soon!
Happy 12-12-12!

impatient with you for considering it so :))
