I often address mahnoor as princess or babes.. today she declares, “mama today you are princess and I am babe“
moments later..
“mahnoor are you hungry?”
“I’m not mahnoor *glares* I am babe!“
oh oops!
“yeah so are you hungry babes?”
“no princess, I’m good.. thanks“
and thus the princess and the babe live happily ever after!
*sigh*
..oh and I even get a brand new castle to live in.. she built it from her blocks!
and another very funny one, I told her to pick out a dress for herself to wear after the shower.. she comes out with a fancy embroidered number that she hadn’t worn in ages and exclaims..
“princess, Its my shadi today!! I haven’t done a shadi in such a long time!!“
..here’s a picture of her in the shadi outfit for today 
poor girl hasnt done shadi in the longest of times indeed.. we really need to dress up and step out more often!
Love on auto-pilot

The other night, mahnoor sneaked into our bed halfway through the night..
I woke up the next morning suddenly thrilled to find her there… I snuggled her closer, traced my finger along her earlobe and stroked her silky hair.. Almost nostalgic for soothing baby scent, I sneakily sniffed her hair but it smelled of the fruity tangle-free big-girl shampoo that she had picked out for herself.. I bet you guessed its pink too 
*sigh* she turned into a big girl before I was done enjoying her “baby-ness” if thats a word..
I leaned forward and gently whispered “I love you mahnoor” in her ear.. and on a mindless whim, added “hey do you love me?” and there she was – deep in slumber, eyes shut tight.. and she nodded!! OMG! she actually nodded in her sleep to say yes! it wasnt like she stirred, or opened her eyes just nodded and went on sleeping like she was before!
It left me so awed, I cant find the right words to do justice to that feeling.. but my little girl, its like she had her love on auto pilot even when she is sleeping! I know all kids would respond to questions in sleep, but it was something so unexpected or maybe its the preggo hormones acting up but I was reduced to a puddle of mush that very instant and thought I had to put this down before I forget the magic of those 30 seconds!
