The Many moods of the little princess..

Life gets more and more exciting as L'il Shahana adds more and more words to here rapidly increasing repertoire.
Soon she will be a little brat of 3 years. And is growing into an extremely lovable little person (well... most of the times yes).
Yes we do have our "bang-my-head-on-a-wall" moments with her but one smile and usually all is forgiven!

Happy Meal Parenting!

Any parent with a two year old, running amok, would know exactly what I am talking about. A recent development of Shahana is that she recognizes the golden arches (of Mc Donalds) extremely well. Add to the fact that Mc Donalds has managed to open a lot more outlets around Bangalore, in the last couple of years and the result is that you spot one on any of the main roads, that you travel!

The result???


Little Shahana points out and says, "Lets to Mc Donalds and eat 'fench fies'". So after much refusing and faux admonishments, we, the parents give in and take her there. Once in, our choices have been limited to the ubiquitous "happy meal" (and no points for guessing why! Of course the toy that comes with the box.) and we are now officially "happy meal parents". LOL!!
....And before the healthy eating bandwagon, beats us to pulp, it seems to be a good idea to mention that we limit the trips to the place and our kid is still too small to be able to finish more than a couple of sticks of french fries and a few bites off a McVeggie!
But whenever we do visit, it is real fun to watch her, enjoy her meal, completely oblivious to the chaos around her. Immersed in total bliss!!

Mishti is now old enough to ask to be taken to parks. She is particularly fascinated by the merri-go-rounds. Here are a few moments....

...And then there was a bean bag ;)

Recently little Shahana visited her cousin. And among all the other little things, the one thing that really caught her fancy was the 'bean bag'! She just loved to plonk herself onto it all the time. It was oh so comfy and she used to sink in it. It was fun to watch her fight over it with her cousin :)
Last weekend, we were back in Bangalore, and while we were out shopping at the mall, she spotted it....yeah you guessed it right!, the bean bag!
And she threw a fit right there (its amazing how the little ones know when to throw a tantrum!), so we took it.
Now, it is exclusively, "her" property. Everything from drinking her milk, to sitting down to simply relaxing is done on the BEAN BAG. No one else is allowed to sit on it. not more than 5 minutes!
It is, but fun to watch her completely enjoy herself on the bean bag!
And here are some moments!
