In a recent post, I mentioned my daughter's simile. Here I'm going to share her rhymes she's been creating!
She read in a book about an Ogre doing Yoga. After her bath, I dress her up in a "Roman Toga". So she just suddenly piped up "Ogre doing Yoga. Roman Toga doing Yoga!" she was so pleased!
Then another day, she was with her aunt who was looking for her "duppata" and she said, "Duppata, Appatha!"
very nice!

Wind galloping like a horse
Creativity flows in children, truly!
In the car, we were pretending to see animals out of the winow.
So I said, Akshaya - do you see the horses? they are galloping like the wind (sigh - trust the lit student to come up with only a cliche)
and she says, no aatha, the wind is galloping like a horse!
and I thought, WOW! why not?
lovely simile yes?

God's Most Precious Gift
I was telling my darling a bed time story yesterday, about Krishna and the Fruit Seller. The Fruit Seller gives Krishna some fruits in return for having him call her Amma, and she goes home to find her fruit basket laden with money, gold and jewels. I then told her how if we give to God with love, He will shower us with blessings abundantly - and then I had to pause, for that was exactly what Akshaya is for us - A gift from god - a gift of love to a couple who had such trouble conceiving - tears still prick my eyes when I think of god's most wonderful blessing he has given us - can only be eternally grateful and thankful.
on another note, she loves krishna stories so! and I know only a few, so I've been making them up as I go along - which I really quite enjoy. I am going to start another blog for nursery rhymes and stories I've created for my daughter - for all I know that could be a start to a collection of short stories for children or something - if nothing else, it will help immortalze some of the stories so they get passed on perhaps? I like the stories myself! hehehe
nice to know also that creativity can come to me again, even when I am happy! I used to think I could only write when I am pensive or depressed - indeed most of my better writings have emerged from such situations, but now, with Akshaya, I find myself getting creative again. It's lovely you know!
