Cheeky monkey!

This happened a while ago now, but it’s too good to go undocumented.

Little miss was sitting on the kitchen floor eating yogurt from a tub and she flung the cover on the floor next to her.

Divya, pick it up and pop it in the bin, I said.

No. You. She replied.

It was a teaching moment, so I grasped it and said, Divya, can you say, please amma, can you pop this in the bin for me?

So she said, Please amma, you pop this in the bin for me.. (just as I was beginning to feel the glow from acing a parenting moment), otherwise, you go naughty corner!

The response!

Divya was talking to Jayaraman Thatha on Skype the other day when he said,

Divya, I love you!

No! She replied emphatically.. Amma loves me!

Sibling love

Divya has settled well into daycare here in Perth. She loves everything about it except that we will leave her there and go. Every morning, she is filled with anxiety – But you will leave me in daycare and go! Ashwin decided to take matters into his own hands.

Divya, he said, I will stay right behind you in daycare. You can’t see me, but I will be right behind you. Sometimes I will go to another room, but I will come back and stand right behind you.

Oh! Was her response. Anna will stand yight behind me amma! She said with great cheer!

Since then, every morning she asks him, you stand yight behind me anna, and he always replies yes.

I hope that this budder and sister are always there for each other…
