Abel's nanny our live-in maid, was not well for some days and had to take to the doc last night.
The plan was to somehow get the nanny while abel was blissfully taking his afternoon nap...
So, after work (needless to say that my parking woes continues...) I called home to nose out if my bud was actually slumbering...and to my luck no one answered. Benoie was to come home early to abel-sit (baby sit;)) n he did not pick the call. Was I blue that Plan A did not work?? I guess no...my optimistic self comes out alwayz...
I went up n found that some documentary was going on in the television, Benoie looked as though he had just dozed off in the middle..and my chap was sleeping on one of the couch.
Off I went to see the nanny, and asked her to get ready ....I had to wake up Benoie to let him kno tat we were leaving..n in about minutes the nanny was ready. I manged to get some bread* for the visit, and I was about to wave a bye..and there my 3 feet wiggles....!! Smelling danger, and wanting to sneak out, I took my keys and was about to head towards the door. I hear a voice filled with excitement "Mumma!!!"...my heart missed a beat !!!
Once I'm back from work, this fellow never lets me out without his self holding on to my fingers..
I knew there was going to be a lot of trouble!!
Benoie took him and said, let's watch the stars...and off they went to the balcony..
I could see abel lookin at me and saying "mumma"...
I blowed a kiss and said "I love you" and rushed out...
And the visit to the clinic took longer than I expected, the doc whom I wanted to go to shifted to another place. So we had to find one in that locality first and once we went in. They wanted us to do routine tests...in between I gave a ring home to see the state of affairs !!
The first time I called to say that we're looking for a clinic...n the receptor sounded tepid..
Being a mom, I could not stop myself from checking on the dad...n the kid.
So again I called...n lo, I guesss I heard an unhappy dad !! LoL
N if u dont know we, I sometimes get touchy with such inane stuff...tats the emotional me at times ;) N tat was the end of my calls...Must I say, they also know how to shun me off ..lol yeah
When I came back i saw a happy child and the older child was amused that we were home :)
Abel was changed in to a new pair of clothing...so was Benoie..
Abel was ready to shoot n goes "Mumma, is aunty in pain?"
Mumma : "Why do u ask baby?"
Abel : "Doctor gave injection?"
Mumma : "No, who told u we went to see the doc"
Abel: "dadda said, aunty mumma went hoshhpital", "doctor gave mumma injection"
Mumma: "No baby"
Abel :"mumma not a good girl" "doctor should have given u also"
Mumma :"why is that mumma is not good"
abel : "Mumma ran away from home".."mumma oodipoyi !!"
================
Yesterday my lunch bag was stained with the curry that I took for lunch and Abel walks with it to me.
"mumma, is this wet" Abel
Mumma : "No baby it is stained"
Dadda: "Abel, mumma has not cleaned her lunch bag, she must not do it, she doesn't spare u when u make a mess of things no"
Abel changes his tone and talks to me "Mumma, what is this? You put curry here !!"
lol he thought I purposely did it ...like he does
================
Benoie n Abel at play time...
Mumma was reading the news paper or some promotion stuff in the papers and out of no where I get hit by a ball. Looking around, I see abel was trying his turn of the game. Seeing the shock on my face, abel was amused...he started to giggle. N mumma tries to show abel how to throw it at a spcific object n how to focus. N dadda as ever wanted to have fun he purposely threw that at me, and abel was like "Dadda, wat are u doing !!!" "I wont talk to u"!!
N mommie me was impressed that he steppied in to protect me...
silly me...i was knocked right at my head by abel next...
Roll!!!
=============
I used to sing to abel all the while "You're my sunshine, my only sunshine"
Esp since when dad n mom left ....and the days he were at day care for 8 hours.
It used to break me apart to see that gloomy abel, so to lift his spirits I would keep singing back to him my versions
"My ebba mon my ebba mon I love to play with ebba mon..
I love to play with Abel dear
I am a Mumma
N this is my darling "
Acutal song goes
My piano my piano
I love to play my piano
I am a muscian
I pratice every day "
In my last post, I wanted to include this one :)
I've been singing to Abel, Amy Castle's you're my cuppy cake ...for a while n a few days back, i got a downloadable mp3 version for te li'l chap to listen to. Needless i say, my mobile has become like a mp3 player for my son that he thinks he can listen to it at all times. Yes, he did ask for it right after the church service...and he loves the part where it goes "Snoogums-Boogums, You're the Apple of my Eye" but he goes....you're my apple plum !!
