The 'du-du' conspiracy!

She knows exactly how to get the lights back on. The overflowing enthusiasm just won't let Sara go to bed. 11.00 pm? No worries - it's still playtime! Try switching the lights off and off she goes 'mama du-du, mama, mama du-du!!' how could you say no? So, we take turns everyday going thru the ritual - getting the milk out, heated and ready - only to find Sara burping , and laughing with a 'oko' ('Nako')!! Switch off the lights and guess what you hear ,again - 'Mama...du-du' :-)!!!

Good Cop, Bad Cop?

I just can't bring myself to scolding Sara. I know that me being the good cop and Shaifali the bad one, is not the right thing to do. I completely understand that there are times when you need to be strict and some harsh treatment is required - but for now Shaifali does it :-). I will get there eventually - I promise!! Till then, I remain the good cop :-).

The Cap.

Having Sara wear a cap was some task for us. We just came in from 35 deg in Pune to 10 deg in Mainz, Germany. The wind made it colder. So, while we loved to take a walk exploring the new neighborhood, keeping the young's lady's winter cap in place was a mammoth and ongoing effort. In one quick move, she would just pull it off - it was an unnecessary obstruction to the splendid sights she was enjoying -Until THE CAP arrived.
I reluctantly agreed to buying this - it has those 2 ponies - i just thought it was too old-fashioned for the stylish young lady. But, we bought it anyway - and how things changed! There she was asking to wear the cap - outdoors and indoors - all the time! She would play with the ponies and throw them over her back. man! Sara's got style! I have begun to like it now too- don't think its old-fashioned anymore - its in Vogue! Thanks to Sara :-).

Sara

The look in her eyes says it all! Raw energy to go enjoy every moment. Never a dull moment, not for her, not for you. That's Sara!
