Little Stories-5

Little Story One

Post dinner one evening:

Aadi to me: You want ice cream with your mangoes?

Me: What the hell are mangoes without ice cream man?

Aadi to Siddy : Baby you want mangoes with you ice cream?

Siddy: No thank you Papa... I just want the mangoes. Fruits are good for you na?"

Also translate that to : you're just being a fatty mommy!

Sucker upper!

Little Story Two

This baby is really getting big. And smart. Maybe over smart is the word I'm looking for!

So we are shifting homes soon and I really want to have this monkey out of my bedroom when we shift so I'm making grounds that in the new house he has to sleep with mum and not us.

A few nights ago he was being super clingy and wah wah!

I said: Siddy you have to start sleeping with Neneh now... in the new house you are not allowed in our room no matter what.

He thinks for a bit, curls his tiny little body into mine puts his baby hands on my cheeks and said: Ok Mumma but while we are in this house at least let me sleep with you.

We all know where he slept that night and every night since!!

Little Story Three and Four: Warning these are heartbreaking!!!

So Aadi has been in Jaipur for work for a very long time this time. And while I love my little baby boy running around the house pretending to be an avenger or kicking the ball is just not my cup of tea (coffee) thats all Aadi... so obviously Siddy has been missing him like crazy!

Still a few days to go before Aadi returns and I catch Siddy pulling at his eyebrows.

Me: What are you doing?

Siddy: Pulling out my eyebrow so I can make a wish.

Me: ummmmm....You can't just go about plucking your eyebrows baby. And anyway you need an eyelash for a wish

As soon as I said that I realized he might try to pluck an eyelash... but instead he just looked super sad.

Me: What happened baby? What did you want to wish for?

Siddy: It doesn't matter Mumma because my wishes never come true. I wish and I wish that Papa comes back soon but he doesn't come back.

**insert sound of my heart breaking**

Four:

So as much as I love my little boy, running around the house pretending to be an avenger or playing foot ball are not things I can do with him... Thats all on Aadi. I'm more of a lets draw or do fun experiments in the kitchen kind of person... which also he loves but not as much as the running around.

So of course he has missed Aadi like crazy these last ten days and every morning he has without fail, asked me "Is Papa coming home today?"

Finally the day arrives before the day Aadi is to come and I happily tell him : Siddy Papa is coming tomorrow!

After much jumping and dancing he says : Will he be here before I wake up?"

Now every morning he's been sleeping in till 10:00 and Aadi said he would be home by 11:00 so I said: No, but he will reach home when you are having breakfast

Looking very upset he says : Noooooo I want him to be here before I wake up. I wont leave the bedroom till he comes home.

Ok crazy kid I thought but said : Lets see baby. And the main thing is that he is coming home right?

Silence!

Cut to yesterday morning. I wake up at 8:30 and from then on all I can think is "Aadi please come as soon as possible" And I am constantly checking on this monkey sleeping.

9:00 No Aadi but a sleeping Siddy.

10:00 No Aadi but a sleeping Siddy.

11:00 No Aadi but a sleeping Siddy. But now i'm worried... because anytime now I know Siddy will wake up and there ill be no Aadi. Whom I have been chatting with and he is on his way.

Finally at 11:18 ish I hear Aadi enter the building chatting away on his phone, we're on the first floor you can hear everything!!

So I run to the main door, open up and shout out to Aadi to hurry up. Poor guy must have thought something happened... and it had... Siddy had actually slept thru till he came home and I didn't want the magic of that to go for the last few minutes.

Happy ending to this was to watch Siddy open his eyes while Aadi hugged and kissed him awake!!! It was the best sight ever!!!


PS: what is that expression!!!
