Angel Face - by popular request
First, a happy deepavali to you and your families from all of us. Instead of posting a traditional light, I thought I would give you light of a different kind: the light from the face of a child.
Sandeepa stumbled across a page with very old pictures of Angel Face, which has started the requests to see her. I suppose she features frequently in my posts, and we love her very dearly, so the curiosity is understandable.
She just turned seven about a month ago, and she is growing so fast we can hardly keep up with clothes for her. Angel Face is my niece, Nini's daughter, but as we are an extended family living in one house, she is like the daughter I don't have. Sometimes she slips up and calls me amma instead of doddamma and, even though I laugh, it makes my heart feel warm inside.
She loves reading (which she must have gotten from me) and clothes (which she got entirely from her mother); all her dolls seem to have two names: Emily Elizabeth and Lila Laxmi and Natalie Jean; her favorite stuffed animals are unicorns (Paisley and Wysteria).
She loves homemade foods: macaroni and cheese, and broccoli cheese soup and rice; boy, does she ever like rice. If we give her a whole plate full of just plain rice, she would finish it and ask for more.
When we eat out, she astounds the servers by begging for broccoli or spinach; if we are having a Thai curry for instance, she would keep asking us to pick out all the broccoli from the curry for her. The servers are so used to children making a fuss because they do not want the broccoli that they actually call others over to come and see this unusual event.

Hugs and kissies to her on diwali. Have a Happy Diwali
My little one loves Brocolli too, even in cases we don't. And then we have to eat them with a smiling face !!!

she is so cute. I was looking for her brown eye like the black eyed pea. I guess nieces are to be spoiled

While the Angel Face does read this blog (whenever her eye catches her "name" or she sees her picture!), she doesn't know her way around well enough yet to find the comments. Which is a good thing, or she would be a getting a big head because of all the compliments :-)
Thanks everyone.
