In fact I complain so much that if BigSis makes a card for me listing a few things that I love-- right there at # 1 is "Mommy loves to Sleep" and # 2 is "Mommy wants to drink tea in peace". She has REALLY given me a card and two like that. I don't know if she is trying to get a message across---child psychologists would know better--- but that is the impression even you will get if you stayed 24x7 with me for at least a fortnight. For days fewer than that I strive hard to make an impression.
But in reality I think the day I have my tea to myself I will not know what to do with it.
A cup of tea with two little hands dunking Marie in it is "Mera wala Chai" and I want it to remain that way. Sniff.Sniff.
Here goes a little hand
Didi is not one to be left behind
Dunk...chomp...chomp
In a rush...marie slips into chai
Such a sweet post!!! loved the emotion and the pics
ReplyDeleteThanks for loving :)
DeleteHa ha i totally understand what u mean Sandeepa....even I wud give anything for a cuppa in peace! And how my daughter loves to dunk her biscuit in my tea too :)
ReplyDeleteDon't they all,hah
DeleteI hate it when people dunk biscuits in my tea. I literally shoo away my daughters if they are found armed with a biscuit while I'm having my tea. I know what to expect when my daughters reach the phase of making cards on their own :-D
ReplyDeleteNo, no let them do that. You are going to miss it when they get older :) Honestly I don't like it a lot either especially when pieces of biscuit fall into the chai but what can I do? Tea time is the time when I sit together with them after work :-D
DeleteU passed down ur Marie biscuit dunking to the two little ones :) I don't but my DH does- we (me and son) give a weird look at him! Like the last pict, hehe- that would be Marie tea!
ReplyDeleteLovely post!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!:)
ReplyDeleteMy little one does it too, when its her rare biscuit day :0)and even asks for a thimble sized cupful of her own tea:0)...chai and everything connected to it is blissful ...
ReplyDeleteAww! That is as lovely a post as it can get. Teeny hands dunking the biscuits in tea. Heart to your girls. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandeepa,
ReplyDeleteThe speed at which the little ones are growing.....we better enjoy every moment of such Marie-biscuit-dipped-chai...Right?
;-)
dayeeta
What, only Marie biscuit in your chai?! I have Parle G, custard creams and chocolate creams in mine...oh, and sometimes bread and butter! Doesn't that sound divine? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah bread and butter soaked in tea does sound divine...hee...hee. But no cream biscuits please...at least not in the tea
Deletehey have recnetly started reading your posts...love the expression on little s's lips:)
ReplyDeleteI love Marie biscuit too, reminds me of home that. Loved the post.
ReplyDeletedip dip dip!
ReplyDeleteIt's like taking a day off from work to do nothing but relax, and you do everything but relax!
Ummmm...whaaat?
DeleteThat remeinded me of myself! :) I used to dunk a biscuit or two into my mom's tea :D and I know how much I loved that! She would also crave for a cup all for herself so I would sneak in a biscuit when she was not looking but she would always come to know when she reaches her last sip...I would drop piece of biscuit almost always. The worst were those puff pastry biscuits, they taste so good soaked in tea but always leave their flakes at the bottom! LOL!
ReplyDelete- Priti
Rusks are allowed but mo puff pastry biscuits :)

So cute, Lil A has just started doing it with my tea :)
ReplyDeleteOh I hate it when Marie slips into the tea. Gorgeous post.
ReplyDeleteHow chweet! My eight-yr-old son loves to dunk his bikkis in his own little mug of tea.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Even me and my 2 year old do the same.
ReplyDeleteMy son does the same but only when I am doing ,..cute pics,..
ReplyDeleteawww.. thats so sweet! my lil one does the same, but with a quote to go - 'tea is for grown-ups mummie, and biscuits are for meee' dunk-dunk :)
ReplyDeleteha, ha..yeh no tea for them in my home either. Only dunking
DeleteOh my, I guess everyone's kids is into this dunking business then :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm grateful there's only one pair of hands dipping into mine. I would have gone crazy with two hands and the increased amount of sludge at the bottom of the cup! Once again, I have renewed respect for you!
DeleteThe current dipping faves are biscotti and rusk. I've been known to put out a decoy cup of tea but it doesn't work anymore because apparently "it's not the same as sharing with me." Um, who said I want to share?!
But no matter how much we complain, we know those hands are precious. Hugs to you and to your pretties. Especially today.
It's real fun dipping the Parle G, dissolves / vanishes in no time! :)
ReplyDeleteoh! my such a cute and sweet post..mon bhorey gelo..hugs and smiles
