 | March 9, 2007 - Today is a special day, as we decided to go to Minneapolis Minnesota to visit the biggest Mall in America, called the Mall of America. My uncle rented a mini-van so that Ayush Anna and I could sit comfortably in the car seats. It was a three hour drive to the mall. The weather was a little terrible when we started but cleared up nicely as we reached Minneapolis. Before going to the mall, we stopped at a local restaurant called Big Bowl for lunch. My parents, aunt and uncle love the food at that place. I got to eat some Thai food and I liked it too. |
Once we were at the mall, we spent a few hours walking around the mall doing some shopping etc. Its just like any other mall except that its a lot bigger and has all the stores you would have seen and more. There is even an amuzement park in the center of the mall. We shopped a bit and eventually my parents got tired walking in the mall. We had crepes for the evening snack and headed back home.
Both Ayush Anna and I behaved very well during the entire trip.

 | March 8, 2007 - Its been a fun couple of weeks for me here in Des Moines. Its the first time that I have spent a few days with another baby and I think I have grown up by the experience. I got to play with a lot of his toys and I had loved the car the most and the golf clubs the next. My cousin Ayush loves to play with his plastic golf clubs and he plays all day. His golf swing is pretty good actually. We will heading back to LA over the weekend and I will miss having someone to play with. |

 | March 6, 2007 - My cousin Ayush has a lot of toys to play with and I am having a great time playing with those toys but I seem to be fascinated by his car. Everytime I sit in the car, I get all excited and start turning the steering wheel like I am possessed by some race driver's spirit. I love turning the key and the wheel on the car and drool once in a while. My dad said he will buy me a car too once we return to LA. Who knew I would love cars this much. I guess that is a sign that boys are wired differnetly from girls. I cannot wait to get back and have my own car. My mother a car this year and soon I will have mine too. |

 | March 4, 2007 - Today is the official birthday bash of my cousin Ayush. My aunt had booked this place called Jumpin Jacks which has a bunch of inflatable rides for small kids to play. There were about 10 other kids that were invited to the party. We started the party by playing on the rides. Since I still don't walk, I found it difficult to go on all the rides. My parents held me and made me slide down some of the rides. I was not scared one bit and I really had a good time. After playing for sometime, we all went to the party room to cut the cake and have some fun there. This was the first time I have been on such rides and I really had a great time. |
After the party, we went to Tandoor for a late lunch. I slept on the car ride over to the restaurant but once we got there, the smell of the food must have woken me up. I had a bit of Mango Lassi too. 
Happy Birthday Ayush Anna

 | March 3, 2007 - Today is my cousin Ayush's birthday. He turns two years old today. This means one thing, we get to cut and eat cake. My aunt had decorated the house with ballons for him. He likes Elmo so we had some Elmo ballons too. I had a good time playing with the baloons. The other thing that happened to today was the arrival of my father from Los Angeles. I had come to Des Moines earlier and when he arrived, I seem to have forgotten him and got all shy. It took me a few minutes to get back in the groove again. |
In the evening, we cut an ice-cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery. It was a nice cake. I got to taste just a little bit. The big party is tomorrow and I am all excited.
First Snow

 | March 1, 2007 - Since I live in LA, I do not get to see snow, although it did fall in LA a few months go. On this trip to Des Moines, I got to see two major snow storms and that left a lot of snow outside my aunt's home. My parents took me to the snow to see how I would react. I seemed to like the cold touch on my hands. Lets hope that when I grow up, I will be able to got to a place with snow and build a snow man, throw some snowballs etc. |
