Fun at Home
| Nov 11, 2009 - Its been a few days since I am back from Des Moines and I am having fun being back in my own "adda" and playing with my toys. I like to play with all my toys and spend my day with the activity books, puzzles, cards and my all time favorite cars. When I return from school, I have my lunch and then Amma and I play with my toys for a while before I take a short nap. Once I wake up, I play with my toys again and once in a while, I watch a little bit of TV. My favorite shows are Caillou, Word World and Super Why. If daddy comes early then he plays with me as well. You may have noticed the change of clothes, its starting to get a little cold so you will see me wearing winter clothes for the next few months. |
Back to Dallas
| Nov 11, 2009 - For the last two weeks, I was in De Moines at my cousin Ayush's house. I had gone there for my Mamamma's 60th birthday celebrations and also to see baby Annika. Its was time to head back to Dallas again. We took an American Airlines flight from Des Moines and it flew straight to Dallas so we were back in less than two hours. My Amma has kept some food and other activity books with her to keep me busy in the plane and we made it without any incidents. Dad was waiting for us at the airport and I was excited to see him. We went home and dad had brought one of my favorite thing, Cajun Pasta from Razzoos. It was a fun trip but there's no place like home. I am also excited to return to school tomorrow. |
Update from Des Moines
| Nov 6th, 2009 - Its been two weeks since I have been in Des Moines and its almost time to head back. I thought I would post some pictures with Annika and Ayush Anna before I leave. Baby Annika will probably be walking before I see her again. Hope you enjoy the pictures. |
Turkey Decoration
| November 10, 2009 - Thanksgiving is coming in a couple of weeks and as part of the preparation for Thanksgiving, our teachers gave us homework to decorate a picture of a turkey so that they could put it up in school. My mom and dad were supposed to help with the decoration but I was supposed to to the work. My parents got some crayons, stickers and some glitter glue so that we could decorate it well. I started by coloring the tail of the turkey with Red, orange and yellow color and then colored the body of the turkey with brown. After that we put red and gold glitter all over the picture to give it a nice shiny look. I was happy with how it turned out. The other kids in my school did similar things, with some kids putting beads, leaves and feathers. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! |
3 Idiots - My First Movie in a theatre
| Dec 31st, 2009 -Today is the last day of 2009 and my parents decided to take a chance and go watch a movie in the theater with me. My parents love to watch movies but ever since I was born they have never ventured near a movie theater (until today that is). They know that making me sit in a chair for 3 hours would be quite an achievement. Seems like the day had finally arrived (or maybe it was the movie) that they decided to take that step. The movie was called 3 Idiots and has been doing very well in India and around the world. We live in an area which has a large Indian community so we did not have to go very far to watch the movie. We went to a nearby Hollywood Theater to watch the movie and by some miracle, I actually sat through the entire show. It was not easy but my parents were armed with a large box of popcorn, juice and some candy. A couple of times, I wanted to leave but my parents managed to hold me. So, this day will go down in history as the last day of 2009 and my first movie I watched in a theater. Glad it was 3 Idiots, a hit movie, not RGV ki Aag or something like that. Bhaiyaa, Aaal izz Well!!! Wish everyone a very happy 2010. |
Its Santa Time
| Dec 25th, 2009 - Every year, all the kids wait for Santa to come to their homes and give them gifts and I too was excited about today because I was hoping that Santa would come to my house and leave me some presents as well. You see, I have been "Nice" all year, well for the most part at least. I am a 3-year old boy and I would be lying if I said, I was not Naughty this year. I would say that I have been more Nice than Naughty so I should get the benefit of the doubt and if that does not work then my smile should make Santa come this way. I went to bed and left some chocolate for Santa under the Christmas tree. I woke up all excited to see if Santa had brought me the presents and after brushing my teeth, we went down to see. Lo and Behold, Santa has left many gifts for me and I could not control my excitement and I tore through all the gifts in no time. Santa got me a Jeep, some games and some candy. He also got my mother an iPhone too (I had asked Santa to bring my mother a new iPhone and he listened to me). I called Ayush Anna and he too got many gifts from Santa. Santa is so nice to bring me and all the kids toys every year. When I grow up, I will help Santa deliver the toys. and in case you were wondering.......Santa did eat the chocolate as well. If he eats at everyone's house, no wonder he has such a big tummy!! |
