My daughter's concern

A few days back, I asked my husband to give me a pressure punch on my back for my backpain.
I was lying on the bed stomach down, my husband started putting pressure with his hand on my back. My daughter was watching this from her crib.

Her spontaneous reaction was:

" Appa, NO, dont do that, paavam amma"

We both looked shocked for a second and burst out laughing and I was grinning from ear to ear all that day!!!!!

IT totally made my day. I love her so very much:)

Temple visit

We took our daughter to the temple for the first time over the weekend, for a friend's baby's naming ceremony. She was very excited and surprised to see the new place.
I took her near the idols in my attempt to induce some knowledge into her.

The first idol was that of Lord Puri Jagannath. For those who have not seen this idol, its supposedly an unfinished work of a sculptor who got angry since his work was interrupted by the king ( story told to me by my friend ). So the idol looks very different from the usual south Indian idols.

Me : " look sonali, this is Lord Jaganath"
Sonali took a good look , like she was registering something
Sonali : " Amma, Elmo....Appa, Cookie monster"

There were no more words to be said:) My daughter said it all!
