Poohi Speaks
I decided to dedicate a page to Poohi’s antics (Thanks Vimmuuu for suggesting it ). Just so that I can jot them down as and when she says them, instead of making them into posts

Poohi re-discovered her old high chair that we had hidden away and desparately wants to sit on it again. Never mind that she is too big for it. Her argument goes,’ I’m not a big girl anymore, I’m a small girl now, I neeeeed to sit on the high chair’!

Today, I kicked a door real hard – clumsy me. Daughter comes running and says, ‘You alright, Amma?’ . I said, ‘Yes, I am’. So she turns her attention to the poor door.
‘Door, You alright?’
‘No?’
‘Oh dear! Amma, don’t hurt door again, OK?’

My husband has a habit of keeping away things - sambhal ke, and we never to see them again. We had been searching for a CD , high and low and had assumed it to be lost. Yesterday, Poohi found the CD inside the arm flap of his lazy boy chair. And I was quite annoyed that he kept it there – of all the places !
So Poohi, hands on her hips, expression stern, says, ‘Daddy, why did you do that?’
Daddy, ‘ Sorry, darling’
Poohi, with that same expression, ‘ Don’t do that again, OK?’

This happened some time back. One a sunny and warm day, we had been waiting to bill our purchases at a store and there was this lady ahead of us. She had been wearing a tube top (with bare shoulders) and Poohi giggles and tells me, ‘Oh dear, Aunty does not have a shirt’!
I seriously did not know where to hide myself

Today was Poohi’s first day in nursery at school. It is also the first time that she is attending nursery for the full day. She has been waiting for this since ages. She knew that she would start school in September and has been ever since waiting for September to come
Two weeks back, we had a home visit from her Key workers at the nursery and when they gave us this date, she was not happy at all. She turned to me and said, ‘But Amma, I will go to school in September – not 22nd!
Today, she was in very high spirits the whole morning. On our way to school, it was very windy and I showed her clouds moving across the sky – very fast. And she pipes up with, ‘ Oh I know! The Clouds are going to my school too!.
The nursery was so lovely – I wanted to join them and play! They had all kinds of toys around.. and her Key worker is such a sweet lady.. In no time, I was told to go back home, ‘this is my school, you need to go back, Amma’. So off I came, waiting for the time to pick her up.. And a long wait it is too…

Nursery Day Update. Turns out she had a wonderful day after all. They have huge outdoor play areas – which I could see that she enjoyed completely:) She even ate her 2 sandwiches and promptly fell asleep on the way back And wants to go back tomorrow – I guess I can’t ask for more…

Today, Poohi had just 3 hours of nursery – Wednesdays are 3 hour sessions. She was so disappointed, that she said, ‘Can we go to another nursery please?’ Seriously, people will think that I torture her at home. She just does not want to come home!

I have my very own moral police these days. I was dressing up in a sari to step out for Durga Puja, when daughter sees me, and screams, all scandalised at my bare mid-rif, ‘You can’t go out like that! You need a bigger shirt!’

The other day we were reading a book on monkeys when I asked her, just to pull her leg, ‘Poohi, do you have a tail like the monkeys?’.
She gave me an exasperated look and said,’ No Amme, I only have a bum. You have a bum, Daddy has a bum. No tails , ok?’ She must think of me as the most ignorant person in the world!

There are triplets in her class. Three identical girls! So one day I was just mentioning how wonderful it must be to have three little girls, when daughter turns at me and says,’No Amma, you have one little girl – me. Not three! OK? I am your little girl – just one.’ Just in case I had any doubts

Poohi has a best friend M who is french. One day, she comes and tells me, ‘Amma, M is french’. So I decided to use the opportunity to tell her about her own ethnicity. So I said, Do you know what you are? You are Indian’. She gave me look which and said patiently,’ No Amma, I am three!’
Let her sit on it with half a butt! hey you have kept the high chair for no. 2? so sweet. and update this page I am a Poohi fan.
No no – I did not keep it for No 2! No plans what so ever for No 2
Btw before anyone claims, let me ask the inevitable question “Am I the first on Poohi Kutty’s page?”
*sakshi marks her coming first with a song dedicated to Poohi*
Phoolo ka taaro ka sab ka kehna hai
ek hazaaro main hamari poohi kutty hai…..
awww…poohikutty is cutie-pie!and Smits,treat like a child,ok..she is not a ig girl anymore
yes me too demands more updates
Will update – I plan to use this as an online diary
Wow! She is awesome Smithu! Strict disciplinarian eh

Nice idea smitha of creating a page for poohi’s talk
It was Vimmuuu who suggested it. And I thought it would be fun
So poohi is not a big girl now, so sweet
yes, she is going the reverse way – she’s a small girl now apparently!
Loved her snap on the face book,cutie pie
Thank you

Yes, people listen when you give sensible ideas 
What about the ones that you had already put in all those earlier posts ? Arent you going to update them here? Please do ! Each of them made a good read !
Oh dear! I doubt if I will get the time to do it.. I will need some Poohi free and husband free time to do all that
Btw, One day when Poohi gets to read all this, she is going to murder you
That is what I worry about.. Maybe I can go into hiding then
ROFL @ ‘Oh dear! Amma, don’t hurt door again, OK?’-poohikutti is a cutie-sweetie pie!
And that ‘daddy why did you do that’ expression…I can imagine her big eyes rolling with that hands firmle on her hips
She is getting a little too bossy these days – so am having to cut her short when she does that these days
Ummas and hugzzz to Kunjumani

Thank you

She doing dadagiri with her Dad !!!!!! she is just awesome !!!!!!
Oh yes – she thinks he is hers to bully
I love this page Smitha. This diary kind of updating is great. Look forward to more Poohi speaks
Thanks Lakshmi!
Tell Poohi chakkara that this auntie has some garden snails for her whenever she plans to visit Peanut.
She and my neighbour’s daughter love snails so much that they are constantly hunting down snails 
Told her and she is all excited
Smi: just now our gardener is spraying Snail killer on all plants…probably the last for this season and I remembered how much Poohi loves snails. Another blogger friend’s son too love snails and also had a pet one which they had to give away recently because they multiply fast.
Here they will all disappear in winters..
Oh dear! You guys are killing all of Poohi’s friends
thats a nice idea
Thank you
‘You can’t go out like that! You need a bigger shirt!’
Poohiammammey,that was classic..ROFL
Smitha, I have a suggestion to make this diary in reverse chronological order, with latest updates first. Please feel free to dismiss
“I have my very own moral police these days. I was dressing up in a sari to step out for Durga Puja, when daughter sees me, and screams, all scandalised at my bare mid-rif, ‘You can’t go out like that! You need a bigger shirt!’”
These little girls are just jealous of their hot mammas.
@“I have my very own moral police these days.”
Me wants more of Poohi tales
heee at the moral policing! Saman say’s I should always be wearing salwar suits instead of Jeans 
Saman is very protective
He wants to keep his hot mama away from dangerous eyes 
I hardly wear salwar suits
Husband says I look like a behenji 
So all she sees me in is jeans or skirts and an occasional kurti over jeans – so a sari totally scandalized her 
Bare midriff – shiva shiva! I hope she stays like this till she is in her twenties;)
Awwww….the little darling! This is a brilliant journal. Well done, Smiths. A real treasure of memories, right here! Poohi is one brilliant little kid, I must say. And why do you torture her at home? Poor kid!
No sympathy for me, Pals? Poor me! I am the one getting tortured
Poohikutty,tell your ma to share some more of your grandma-talks with us!she seems to have forgotten there are some of us waiting eagerly to get some updates about you!
Sigh! So bad of me
Hv nt visited this page for a long time nw!
The Clouds are going to my school too! – So sweet
Its so nice to see her having taken to nursery so well Smithu 
She is a darling for sure 
She loves the nursery so much, that I worry that I must be ill-treating her at home
ROFL
Smithu 
Kids baap re! ROFL @ bare midriff 
I wanna c that pic 
people will think that I torture her at home.
What do u do Smithu ha ha ha
Oh what? me in a sari? I look so round that I am ashamed of putting it up
Hee she gets hilarious with every new entry
so she taught you that Bum is the only thing she inherited from both your families 
Yeah right
Tharavad sothu as we say 
I think she wanted to be very clear about having more sisters in case you know you are interested
Like Saman always stresses that he won’t mind having a BIG SISTER and anything other than a girl with 4 inches more height than him will not be accepted at any cost 
LOL! ‘he won’t mind having a BIG SISTER and anything other than a girl with 4 inches more height than him will not be accepted at any cost’ – Saman, as I said, has all his concepts in the right place
“so she taught you that Bum is the only thing she inherited from both your families”..classic,Saksh
Oh man! this was an absolute treat to read!!!! I demand more!!!!!!!
Hey Winnie – how are you?
Will post more 
“No Amma, you have one little girl – me. Not three! OK? ” LOL Poohikutty. What is this Poohi’s amma, are you trying to give her some kind of a sibling-hint
No such hope, Deeps
I find the idea of identical twins/triplets really cute 
When I was pregnant I used to hope that it would be twins 
Ahh the bum one is the coolest … lol u ignorant mum
I loved the triplet thingy too
Swaram – the kind of gyan that she gives me sometimes!
