Luna Park!!

It was a lazy saturday... We were getting bored at home in the evening. We decided to take Annabel to the Luna park near by.. From our previous experiences, we knew she was not very keen on rides unless we force her to sit on them! This time it turned out very different !She wanted to try all the rides and when we ran out of coins, she was calling out "Dada paisa pleaseeee" !

NorthCyprus- A relaxing holiday

During Easter Holidays in 2008, we went to North Cyprus, which is under the Turkish rule. We needed a visa to go this part of the country, though it did not feel much different from the rest of Cyprus. We had a leisurely vacation with few site seeing and eating out at good restaurants.

The places we saw, were the ruins of Vouni palace. Situated on a mountain, it had a beautiful view. We also saw the Kyrenia fort. It was huge, a marvelous piece of architecture. The dungeons showcased some figures of how prisoners were tortured. The view of the Kyrenia Harbour was truly magnificent.

Among the Restaurants we visited, was a Fish meze restaurant on the way to Vouni Palace. We also went to a Chinese restaurant and an Indian restaurant there. They were good and comparatively cheaper than the restaurants out here. We spend most of our time in the River side Holiday village resort. There were flowers everywhere and also it had a nice pool.
It was a nice trip. A one time must go for all the Cyprus visitors!

10 most frequent lies!

Every day, i tell my 2 year old many little lies to make her do things I want to... This might not be the best way but surely is the way to have less crying.. Here goes:

1) When she won't eat her food: "I will give u a big Chocolate after dinner"

2) When she won't take her bath: "We will give bath to the duckie together "

3) When she won't wear her dress: " Big mosquitoes are flying and it will bite you"

4) When she doesn't want to get ready in morning: "Lets go to park"

5) When she doesnot want to sleep : "I will tell you a new story today" (and i tell her the same old fairy tale :) )

6) When she wants to run down stairs: " There is a lion waiting outside.."

7) When she wants to eat only chocolates: " That is chee chee chocolate.. not good"

8) When she won't tidy up: " I will give all these toy to ur friend Irini"

9) When she hits somewhere and i try to console her " I will give this table a beating for having hit my lovely girl"

10) When she pleads she wants to go to park: "Tomorrow, dear "

These are just few.. But there are many in the list!
