No update for a long time, but not without reason. Maithilee kept us quite busy, with a short bout of fever and cold. What made it all so good, though, is that she has started to smile, and give us (two of her dedicated servants) some due recognition for our hardwork. That came about 2 weeks ago, 7th/8th Jan.
She is quite a devil now, wants us to pick her up, give her hugs/ kisses, tell her stories and of course sing songs. She gets quite bored with our faces, we think, for, when there are visitors, she perks up instantly. Deepa, for example spoke to her in Telugu, and Maithilee in "Maithi". They "understood" each other perfectly well.
When visitors leave, she is back to tears, YES, she can shed tears (also started around 5th Jan.) I have tested them for salt content, to make sure. And does Mithu know about how to screw up her face, throw her legs/ hands around, and give us a piece (peace?) of her mind.
When we oil her before her bath, she is all happy, curling her toes. Now, who can curl toes like shown below, Mithu can bowl 'leg-spin' using her toes !
Theresa arrived to Holland in the middle of its heaviest snow fall of 13 years. We could not meet, I did not have car then (and what now?) and she posted Maithilee's gifts from Jayanne. Maithilee got two lovely Canadian cats (Stella on her dresses and Alex as her bath pal) all around her now. You have to see her in her after-bath towel !
When we sing for her, she joins the party, like this!
When Maha entertains Mithu ("Hum honge kaamyab! Ek din! "), she looks with studied appreciation !
!Now, with all this effort of photo-shoot, Maithilee is taking a loong break !
