I am alive............

After a long time, I am blogging again on a special occasion, I would rather refer it as a bunch of spl occasions, as its Mittu's 2nd B'day on Feb 7th 2009 and the most awaited mottai and kaadhu kuthal ceremony for Mittu on Feb 8th 2009. Before eleborating the celebrations, lemme give a brief update abt mittu
Mittu is not a chubby baby now, she has become a beautiful toddler, started going for cry-school... sorry play-school. Her playschool stories earn another post :-). She is a sweet nonstop chatterbox. She tells stories (in her own version), sings songs/rhyms, cooks curries and makes coffee for the family in her cooking set, asks so many “WH” questions, trying to socialize with other toddlers in the apartment, answers phone calls on her own , informs nature’s calls ( atlast!!!!) ....etc.
Last Saturday was Mittu's second B'day. We decided not to have a grand celebration. But by word of mouth, the day's speciality spread all over the apartment. It was so awesome to see her kutti friends wishing her "Happy B'day" and kissing her. We had a cake cutting ceremony with a very beautiful Hot Bread’s cake (Yummy! Yummy!) with Mittu's Favorite duck drawn over it. Mittu got the choli as a gift from her grandparents. She was looking so pretty in her green choli, with her free style hair do. The day ended with a great fun filled evening in the park.
On Sunday, Every house hold is busy in make up and touch up, as we all get ready for the grand ceremony “Mottai and Kaadhu kuthal”,which we planned to do in "Kumaran Kundram" temple at Hasthinapuram. Mittu was all glittering and sparkling in her new silk skirt, accompanied with bright white stone necklace and matching slides and bangles. Me and My mom dressed up in silk sarees. Guys are in their usual attire...Jeans :-). Amidst of lots of kicks and prods, we managed to mottai adichufied for mittu and i was expecting a great scene on ear piercing. But to my surprise, Mittu was behaving like an angel. She didnt cry much , guess the pain is less, as we have opted for Gun shot ear piercing. I was very much worried and scared of kaadhu kuthu, remembering my very own painful celebration. Thanks to modern technologies, it’s very simple and painless,now-a-days!!!
Mittu is very proud and happy abt her mottai and new stud. For the whole day, she was showing off.
