Being Nova!

Lately Aditya has begun playing a game where he becomes Henry, my Dad and takes me places such as the zoo or to pick up my brother from the school, usually in his car which is the mattress or the trampoline. My name is Nova at these times. I am 4 and he is 38. ( I sometimes have a brother who is 11 years old. He does not have a name, as yet:-)

Mother's Day Special!!

"Happy Mother's Day to you!" sung to the tune of "Happy birthday to you!" This was what I woke up to today. It was about 6 am. I had the urge to pull the sheets on my face and go back to bed. But this was too cute to ignore! What a way to start off Mother's Day!

Aditya came into our room and snuggled up with me, letting me know that he loved me. "Yes, baby! I love you too", I said sleepily. "Hey, look at me and say that!" Done, buddy! So much for demanding eye contact!

"Mom, I am hungry. Can I have some breakfast?" "Ok." "I am going to go brush my teeth and come down for breakfast." This sentence made me sit up in bed. He had , till today, never shown such agility and ability! I was still putting all of this together, when he announced that he was done brushing his teeth. "I will be down in a minute", I said, pulling myself out of bed. And there he was, waiting for me to pour milk in his bowl full of cereal!

What started as any other day, except for it being called Mother's day , turned out to be one of the best days!
