Small bites go a long way........


I had made Turkey Pie for Thanksgiving 2010. We decided to give a piece of pie to my friend in our apartment. My friend, her hubby and her daughter took a bite of the pie each.
My 4 yr old daughter happened to be there at that time. My friend told her "The pie was very tasty but it got over very quickly. What do we do Ivana?? Will you get us another piece?"
My daughter immediately replied "Aunty, you should take small bites. Then the pie piece wont get over so fast".
My friend could do nothing but laugh.............

Preschooler Brain Waves - I

For the last few days I've been hearing lots of questions from my 3.5 yr old daughter Ivana. Its really a challenge to understand whats going on in her little mind.

One day we came across a pregnant lady and here's the conversation that took place

I : Mummy why is her tummy so big?? Did she eat lot of food??
M : No da, There's a baby in her tummy.
I : Oh no!! She ate a baby???????? Why did she do that???
M : @@@@????###.........


One day after church Ivana left her Bible somewhere. She came with a smile and said "I can't find my Bible. Its playing Hide and Seek with me".

Peanuts in Grapes!!!!!

'Mummy.......... Why did u put peanuts in my grapes???" yelled out my 2.5 yr old daughter one day... When I went to check out what the matter was, i found that she was irritated with the seeds in the grapes... Grapes was her favorite fruit and she's always eaten seedless grapes. This was the first time she was having grapes with seeds. The only crunchy thing she probably had before was peanuts and hence she related the seeds with peanuts.... I was amazed at how the little ones could imagine.. So i decided to make a note of all her cute little baby phrases before it gets wiped out of my memory....

Once we happened to go an air show when Ivana was almost 3. I'm not sure of how much she understood about the whole show. On our way back there was one aeroplane kept for the visitors to go inside and see. My daughter looked at that and immediately asked "Mummy all the aeroplanes are flying... why is this aeroplane sleeping??" What reply do I give her????...........

On another occasion around the same age, it was raining heavily. She was looking at the rain through the patio door. After a few hours it stopped raining. My little one ran to the balcony, looked at the sky and said "OH OH...I think the rain is stuck up!!! Its not coming down....."

The last one I remember right now is when one day she was trying to push the table. She has watched us move the table and so she wanted to try that too. With her little hands, the table wouldnt move an inch. She tried harder and harder for few minutes and then gave up saying "I think the table is not working!!!!".....

I just cannot stop laughing whenever I think of all there..... I thank God for all these memorable moments he has given for us to enjoy in life....
