Rituals

One of Sara's "Rituals" -whenever we are eating as a group (either out at a restaurant or at home), it never fails that part way in to the meal Sara wants to sit on my lap. Before I even say anything, she'll plants her little self down on me. We both love the cuddle time.

Speaking of Sara-rituals and cuddle time, I'm reminded that I wanted them documented b/c even though they are daily things now, one day they won't be...and I'll be a little sad about that. :(

"Mommy, mujhe aapke saath sona hai"
Like most toddlers, Sara likes to have company as she's falling asleep. 99% of the time, she requests me. "Mommy, mujhe aapke saath sona hai. Mommy, mat jao, yahi ruko." Sometimes I request a substitute and tell Sara, "Daddy aapke saath soyege". Sometimes Sara requests that we hold hands and it's so sweet. That started one night when I left too soon. The next night she said, "Mommy, I hold you hand. You stay." Sometimes she asks that we not hold hands, "No touching me" ha!

"Mommy, office mat jao, mein school jayegi and nahi royegi"
This started when I told Sara that if she will not cry in school I will not go to office that day. Its my bad, that I lied to her. She now uses this very often, and I feel sad and broken!
