Perfect Moment Monday: Ooooba

It had been a wake up (rinse-repeat) kind of a night. I left the bed at 5:30 am. It was still little dark outside. The baby appeared asleep, and hubby was half-asleep. I made my tea and did what I do on mornings. Hubby got up, got ready for the gym and left.

I sat on the balcony, had my tea, wrote Figlia's diary, and read the newspaper. She woke up finally around 7 am, and I laid beside her, and closed my eyes. She went:


"Oooba Oooobay

Tuuucccchi
Oooba Obay
Buuuuu"

Her soft hand reached my face. The fingers flitted ...cheek... nose... lips...I do not think she had some specific touch-sequence in mind.

A finger went up my nostril. I opened my eyes.

Perfect morning.



P.S. She does not usually go up the nostril really.



(I can't see Lori's PM post yet...I will link to it, when I see her post go up.)



Edited: More Perfect Moments are here! Thank you Lori for linking me up! :-)

    Too funny - the places those exploratory fingers go!

    I was so sad when I couldn't get the photos and sound recordings off of our old phones - I had some interesting recordings of my daughter's one-sided conversations that would go on for 20 minutes at a time when she was just a few months old. Sigh...

    I can see this all happening - such a good description!
    Timothy's fingers also occasionally end up in my nostrils, yuck :)
    all in all, it sounds like a good type of morning - when the baby doesn't wake you up all sleepy and tired, but rather you wait for the baby to wake up!

    Such a sweet multisensory experience with someone you love so dearly. I liked imagining you starting a day in such a way.

    I got you all linked up!

    What a beautiful description of a very perfect moment. I miss those kind of baby snuggle mornings.

    What a sweet perfect moment. Thank you for sharing and describing it so well -- I felt like I was there with you. Also, I wasn't expecting the ending, it made me giggle.

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
