The antenna dossier

Recently, Little Anya's parents have been trying different combinations of antenna on her head. One must realise that this is not out of any specific needs for improvement in communication possibilities. Little Anya communicates on all channels and on different wavelengths, and does not need any line of sight to be able to make herself heard ( and even understood for that matter ! ).

As it is generally known by now, Little Anya is rather free spirited and thus requires a lot of freedom for her hair. Highly charged 'particle' that she is, her hair usually stands perpendicular to her head and if one did not know her , one might think that she has recently walked through a corona discharge. In order to rectify this, her parents like to use hair bands and clips to turn her into a creature with antennae...

The results of this effort are shortlived, Little Anya likes to remove all the hairbands and clips and restore the pristine splendour of her hair...Her parents keep trying , but the genteel look lasts for half an hour or so and not more.


Once she realises that there is an audience and she is the cynosure of attraction, she likes to give quite a captivating performance. Such an act is accompanied by a lot of sounds and clapping and climbing on whatever is available around her to climb, could be a chair or her Pappaa's back.
One of her daycare teachers has told her Pappaa that they preferred her wild look at the daycare and infact liked the fact that she did not come to the daycare well groomed and neat. This could be because they liked to have something to play with at daycare that resembled the head of a furry creature. This is just our surmise !

For avoidance of any doubts, the parents , in this case, have publicly disowned any liability for not being able to get those antennae to last a little longer than a few minutes.

Keeping still is often a challenge for Little Anya especially when she is so excited and knows that there is a gallery to play to. Her Mammaa is quite high on Little Anya's priority list and sometimes she might manage to keep her still and get all her attention. However on most of the occassion, she manages to get quite kinetic.

Her Pappaa also shares some joyful moments with her , in particular when she is on the changing table and interested in everything else but changing. She likes to cuddle her 'Bamse' or try to pull her Pappaa's ears and laugh

Little Anya's parents have for the time being decided to give her hair another trimming so that they could maintain the WHO levels of hygiene for her hair .

They are sure that times will very soon come when Little Anya's hair would be easier to manage and her hairband and clips would manage to hold on to her hair for a longer duration.

Little Anya turns two !

Hello folks ! Little Anya turned two on 25th of January. Her birthday celebrations began already on the 24th and continued till the 26th ! Let us take you through those three days of merrymaking. It began with Busbörgen, where Little Anya spent roughly three hours having a lot of fun .

The 25th had quite a royal beginning, Little Anya's excitement knew no bounds when she got a birthday cap and a big blue gift box to open.

The gift opening was full of excitement and needless to say brought along considerable sound effects. The gift box opened into a teaset that Little Anya used to feed her animals with. At this point in time, Little Anya's house looks more like a wildlife sanctuary, she has quite a collection of bears, dogs, elephants and even a lion for that matter. One can imagine how busy Little Anya might get feeding even a few of those.

The highlight of the evening was a hectic construction activity followed by prompt demolition. Little Anya's parents made a few houses and castles for her and she enjoyed razing them to ground. Incidentally, below, Little Anya is sporting an antenna on her head. Her parents have been trying this on an experimental basis, you will soon get to read an entire blog posting dedicated to this new look.

Then came the occassion with the cake. Little Anya surprised everyone by informing them with gestures that the candles had to be lit so that she could hurry up the proceedings !

Little Anya had a visit from Rahul kaka & Ashwini kaku. Our readers might like to know that kaku had quite a contribution in the making of chocolate cake.

Ofcourse the candle business was conducted in close supervision of Mammmaaa. Little Anya managed after a few tries with the first candle.

and shortly thereafter with the second one...

That was quite a sense of achievement for Little Anya and time almost stood still since it took her a while to realise that the next step was to dig into the cake.

Once the cake was cut, Little Anya had quite a feast and was very busy chomping on to the cake. Since everyone was busy with the cake, a loud silence ensued. Very soon the cake was decimated and followed a civilised discussion on who had had the lion's share. There was a lot of finger pointing and pleading innocent but that did not quite distract Little Anya. She was rather focussed.

Little Anya was so excited that her Mammaa and Pappaa decided to carry forward another big present to the coming evening. A lot of activity and attention mixed cake was quite a '7% solution' for Little Anya on her birthday. Next evening, again came out the birthday hat and two gift boxes..The presents were opened with the same haste as always.

...and Little Anya was quite surprised to see the wooden train. Her parents promptly assembled the tracks for her and Little Anya started having a very good time.

As our readers might already have guessed, the tracks and the structures around it did get whacked a number of times. After a million of those accidents and the entire district population having been reduced to half, her parents decided to simplify the tracks , shorten them and make them more robust so as to get an 'Anya safe certification' in the inspection.

Those three days were amazing and Little Anya's parents relished all the attention they got from Little Anya and all those smiles and gestures have already gone down in the memories as gold moments.
