Am back.... well sort off!

We are settled in the new house, the parties are done with, the in laws have left so I now have some time to breathe.... and blog and comment.

For personal reasons though, I'm limiting this blog to chronicling Apple's activities only. As for all the other thoughts, may be I'll start another blog or may be not. I'm not sure yet. Will see how things shape up.

Any way here is how Apple tugs at my heart...
My office is couple of miles down the road from our new house. With the trees being bare for the winter, we can almost see the buildings on our way to and from Apple's day care. Most of the days on our way to or from her school, Apple insists that she wants to see my office. So one day on our way home, I drove into the office parking lot and showed her the building.
A very satisfied Apple smiled.
Apple: When I grow up I want to work in mommy's office!
Me: Why honey?
Apple: Because mommy will be there! I can see her all the time!

She melted my heart! Any chance she would feel like this 15 years from now?
Wish I could freeze time!

Last weekend, I cut my finger a little while chopping vegetables.
After lunch, I was lying down next to Apple trying to get her to nap. All my attempts to get her to sleep were proving futile , so I just closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, while Apple played on the bed. Once in a while she would poke my eyes , pull my ears etc so I was scolding her & threatening her (No birthday parties, no park etc)off and on. Then when I had closed my eyes, she suddenly noticed my cut finger, took it in her hands, started blowing air on it and kissing it.

Me: What are you doing honey?
Apple: Your finger is hurt mommy, I'm making it better!
Me: Thanks honey. I feel better already.
Apple: We need to get you a band aid. Would you like a Dora band aid?

The finger may have still hurt but the heart never felt so warm!
Needless to say, she got out of having to take a nap that afternoon.
