Happy XMAS for San and a Happy Start of the New Year

Now that San had wished for lollipops last Christmas, Santa gave her a bagful of them! ;-) The expression of her face and the happiness in her "Wow" on seeing the lollipops was priceless. :-) She hasn't had any yet, but always counts them, and recounts them, unwraps them, wraps them back again, and then keeps them back in the bag to play with later.

Although, the bad weather and bad health of San and her Papa dear took a toll on their mood and restricted them to home, we managed to enjoy the Christmas lights and give a happy ending to the last year. :-)



====================================================

San's back to school and is quite happy. I felt so proud on hearing her teacher say that she's proud of San, cuz' she knows her ABCs so well! What a proud moment for a parent! :) I wanted to brag more about her ABC skills, but I kept my mouth shut and smiled a lot. Haha! All thanks to Papa dear. :)

Knowing 'No' is both good and bad. And kids do a great job at overusing it! San says No even when she's angry. Goes like this... "No Mummy! Chintu's book/ toy/laptop/chair/shirt! Don't touch!" For those who don't know, Chintu is one of her nicks. :-D

Her pretend play has reached new heights. She treats the doll like it's her baby and acts like me while handling her. She now laughs, gets anxious, and says "Oops" at the right moments while watching her cartoons. :-D

They grow up so fast... sigh! When she says a complete sentence, uses the potty seat perfectly, scrolls through apps on her Papa's phone like a pro, cleans up nicely, sings the rhymes and lullabies with perfect pitching, I wonder. I don't know what, but I wonder! :)

Her current favorites: "The wheels on the bus" and "Hush little baby" rhymes.
