Mom has an amazing family, 2 brothers and 4 sisters!! She is the eldest and her siblings just adore her. My favorite Mausi K and my nephew SS, arrived this morning to lend their support to Ma. SS is totally adorable and as his giggles and laughter filled the house, Ma seems to be pepping up already.
My little nephew is four years old, and he is a doll. SS and I play this game with each other. We try to outdo each other saying 'I love you the most.' We have been playing it since he was two. We got very inventive with the game, hanging up the phone with the last one who said 'I love you the most' being the winner for the day. It was never insulting to get hung up on. It was fun. It was familiar. It was comforting.
As he grew up, we played other games like The claw which would come out of S Mausi's hand and eat the baby's belly. And that bad old claw would tickle and tickle until he begged it to stop.
SS is a darling but he can be a devil too. Didi, my cousin sister, is one of those women that likes her house to look like you could host a big dinner party in her home at a moments notice. Everything must be neat and cleaned and in its place. You know the obsessive compulsive Monica types (from friends)!! The last time I visited her in Hyderabad, she had some really nice carpets laid out. Didi is a fab cook and had dished up great Italian food. Nephew was in the "appu" stage (apne aap) meaning he wanted to do everything himself. So, some Spaghetti was put in a bowl and handed to him to eat appu. After a while, he didn't want to eat anymore. Guess where he threw the spaghetti? I had to close my ears because didi's screaming was so loud.
Finally everything seemed to be calmed down and area was mopped up and cleaned. However, later on in the evening a new dilemma developed. S pooped his pants, but before didi realized what he had done he had managed to spread it all over the house by reaching into his diaper with his hand. A couple more shots to the carpet, and some more to various other areas ;-)
S and I went on a Movie date today. Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was a magical film that captured my heart. I also
have to say that the company was great as well. We ate popcorn, cheered loudly when Lion Aslan was shown for the first time on screen and cried (rather sobbed shamelessly) when Aslan dies. My little nephew is the best movie date ever. I cherish these times with him because I know one day all too soon he will be grown and a real girl will be getting all his attention.
Then on to the toy store. I gave S a budget in the car before we went in and told him he could only get what that could buy. He was definitely okay with that. Then when we got in the store we looked at a couple isles and came across an Imaginext set. Its buildable toys that can be taken apart and rebuilt differently and so on. This one was a pirate ship and it was cool. Busted my budget and out we went with the pirate ship.
Needless to say when we got home we were beat, but we managed to stay awake long enough to play another couple hours. It is so cool to be the S Mausi. Hey Sangram! I love you the most!
