Growing up with Pooh.


Sara is growing up. Fast. The realization suddenly dawns when she speaks sentences you never thought she could -like 'mala nahi mahiti, me fighting kaka baghtey', .She now runs to untie and remove my shoes when I reach home, brings me imaginery tea, she bores neighbours (German!!) to death with stories of hanuman and 'bal-jagesh'(who BTW have a 24x7 presence on our TV and inspire Sara to jump around the house only in her 'dhotar')!. She scolds her German friend "Lars, asa karu nakoss, tu good girl ahes na?", the stroller is completely out of favour and is a hindrance in watching the 'goggle vala keeda'on the footpath, the new laptop belongs to her and is meant to be used only for typing ABCD and watching YouTube videos she likes!! man!! I thought only one lady dominated my life :-). But,I know as time flies - quick as it does, I will long for this dominance; so enjoying every bit of it now!

Out of sheer wonder, I tried to google 'do kids never feel cold?'. Did not find much, but it does boggle my mind! Our trip to Italy in Feb'09 confirmed to me that Sara for one is the most cold-tolerant amongst us. While everyone on the street wore jackets,scarves and gloves - for Sara all that was kid-stuff meant for the fussy adults - not for her! This picture in Venice says it all about 'Cool Sara'.
