I have a cousin that lives in the same city and they have two boys 8 and 3..so ofcourse we had to tie rakhis...it was fun to doll up little thumki and take her last night.
I made kalakand, the easy way with badams, ricotta cheese and milk powder and it was yummy.
I also made besan ka ladoo which turned out pretty decent, not like mama's but good nonetheless. I put them in little cupcake holder paper thingies, it was very presentable and nice..the most fun was dressing thumki up. Her ghagra was in her way..
She was dragged about by the other children there and tried to valiantly hold her own..she is very independent spirited, she doesn't like to be cuddled unless its on her own terms..she enjoyed runnin around in circles with the cute 12 year old girl who was besotted with her.
The other 7 year old girl found out she likes shoes of all types and handed her a shiny chappal much to her delight.
When it came time to tie rakhis she just looked on quizzically..i tied on her behalf she just hung around watching me rotate the plate and ad teeka..she almost leapt on the diya.

Hey, thanks for the comment on my blog. My first time here: Thumki is such a cute name!! I hope that's her nickname at home too and not just on the Internet! She looks so huggable in that ghagra. And my mouth's started watering with all that talk of laddoos and theplas! :)

Ah for a girly girl! Thumki looks absolutely adorable in the ghagra. Loved the pic of her in the sink in one of your earlier posts as well.
