The long weekend Wishlist

It was a long weekend coming up , with June 8th being the Queen's birthday. I got to know of it quiet late, on the 3rd. Hubby having full day MBA classes on both the weekend days was a dampener. Nevertheless he said he was set for June 8th outing.

Kids come back home on 5th super excited that its a long weekend. While son always wants to laze on holidays, daughter wants something exciting. So at bedtime we make a todo for the weekend:
1.) Lots of hugs while sleeping
2.) Go for a stroll, enjoying scenery, pick leaves and flowers
3.) Bake something with mommy
4.) Write naughty stories about brother, mommy and aunt

We go about our todo one by one. On the second day, I could not remember one of the tasks and then she quickly draws up the below 4 images.

What is so endearing about these images are how she quickly wrote them down. Normally she is very particular about asking me for spellings before she writes them down. But this time she just wanted to hand me over those notes.



Look at those lovely notes. I could just keep looking at them for ever and ever .💓💓💓💓💓💓

Sports in a child's life

What is it about Sports and a child? Its almost synonymous.  My 11 year old has become super lazy , lazy to even go for a bike ride since the last holidays . Soccer season finally started today. The practice sessions for the time being with a 10 person limit on gathering. Neel has been so excited , so geared up , he almost sprinted to the practice session.  He came fully excited. Tired he was but the excitement didnt wear out. And yes he arrived home with a soccer ball given as part of the practice.  He spoke about how other kids came in , how he saw familiar friends, how he had a good run, how he was so happy. Daughter is on the other hand, not very sporty. I am trying to make a conscious effort to make sports non gender specific. Ages ago daughter was all excited to start skating . She saw a child trip and then didnt want to go back. She is 6.5 years old now. Probably will wait till shes 7 and get her enrolled in soccer. She needs to run too and fall yes and g...

New home!!

Today is not an ordinary day, nor an easily forgotten day. Today is the day , last year, when we arrived in Sydney. We a family of 4 arrived with memories from India and with hearts filled with hope and dreams. Gradually we blended into the life here, did a lot of learning, quite a bit of unlearning . It started off with a 3 week stay at an Airbnb accomodation. For someone who had a full time cook and help, here was a time when the mommy had to dish out food every 3 hours. It was just about wrapping up of breakfast and pausing for a while , when kids would pop up the question "Whats for lunch"? . In the interim 2-3 hours, hubby and I would wonder - "Should we do the dishes or wash the clothes or sweep or relax or just start cooking again"??...  it was also the time when every meal was cherished, there was no customization.  If daughter could not eat spice, all of us would just eat the non spicy food, no questions asked or answered. It would be a struggle to get e...

Learning to accept "non acceptance"..

Aisha just as the meaning of her name is "Full of Life". There is never a dull moment when she is around. She always has something to tell us, something to be excited about . It was a relaxed Sunday today. Today was my friend's 40th birthday and considering the current circumstances, we were to make a visit to her place for wishes. Aisha who is anyways excited about birthdays was also excited that we would do a repeat of yesterday's vanilla cupcakes. All day she kept reminding me of the birthday. She helped me with the cupcakes and did most of the piping, made a birthday note (which she did not show me), got her birthday girl hairband ready.  When it was time to go, she was probably the most excited . Once we reached there , she excitedly hands over the birthday note( i was touched by the note which also mentioned that my friend should have a bootiful lyfe ahead) to my friend and goes to the 1st floor with her brother to meet my friends ' kids. After a while...
