Priyanshi and Shaurya around November 30th

Priyanshi...wow!...growing big too fast!Last night, we were invited to a party and being Sunday night, Rajesh didn't want to go. Priyu forced her daddy to take us all to the party. Once we were there, she danced at the music, made friends there and enjoyed every bit. Also, she went in the center and danced with a belly dancer..her shyness was all gone last night.
When we went to the mall last evening, she gave stars to me and Rajesh and as the evening passed by, she would give/withdraw her stars. Like, initially, we both got Faboulous Angel star, Wonderful Angel star and Awesome Angel star. But at the end, Rajesh was left only with Faboulous Angel star and all other stars were taken away. We have to be very patient, smiling and rewarding to maintain those stars.
Shaurya..little one with big stories!Yesterday, when he woke up, he started hitting his dad as many times he could. Actually thru out the day, he kept on jumping, banging, bumping on his dad. God knows what makes him do this...:). He does lovely Bye Bye...most innocent thing ever seen lately. He would say ' Tai Tai' and wave his hand very cutely. He would love to eat his sister's toes, jump onto her food and grab her colors. Also, yesterday, he wore Priyu's hairband and smiled, took the hairband out...again wore it and smiled....kept on doing it...:)

Kids Activities around November 12th

Priyanshi - As her best friend had gone to India this week, she wanted to write an email to her. She wrote her 1st email yesterday. Big Thing!!
I rearranged her room yesterday and she was so happy to sleep in her room all by herself...that too for the whole night.
Learning TyKwonDo(Karate) twice a week, she earned her orange belt last week. Makes us proud!

Shaurya - A Big Gunda! He ate the whole samosa ( a small one though), 2 days before. He hates to eat his cereal these days. I am sure he will be a big chatokda!But he has got just 2 lower teeth till now..:)
He wants everything what Priyu is doing...either colouring or doing her homework or reading her books.
He calls Priyu 'TATA' (its T like Tota-parrot) . When he woke up very early morning yesterday, he shouted TATA TATA so many times and woke her up as well....then jumped on her and what not!
Also, when Rajesh was putting Priyu on his side, Shaurya started crying and put Rajesh's hand on his hand...that do the same to me as you do to Priyu(real jalkukda!)..

Kids activities around September 21st

For Priyanshi,
I would say, she reads pretty well now. Yesterday, she learnt the new word - Applause. I feel she is growing big too fast. She helps me a lot with Shaurya. She would entertain him at the time of diaper change, dance in front of him to make him eat ( sometimes), make him quiet when Rajesh is sleeping nearby. But she would always want to pick him up, which drives the little one crazy. He screams, but still she would move around with him in her arms. The whole scene is very cute though.

For Shaurya,
He was looking very cute this morning in his loose funky jeans and lighted blue tshirt. He was kicking a balloon and playing with it for quite sometime. He wakes up a lot in the nights, may be because of teething..not sure still. We have his 1st year well check visit on 24th September, so will know more. He will start with regular milk soon. All of a sudden, he has started hating water and bath time has become very unpleasant compared to pleasant times as before.

Shaurya turned 1!!!

My little Shaurya turned 1 last wednesday and we kept a big party for him.
His party turned out to be fab. There was friends, collegues and neighbours...most of the people we know here. Ofcourse backhome family was missed a lot...but now we have learnt to live with it.
Next thing at his party was good food. The food was so wonderful..everyone praised it couple of times and still doing it. After food..next attraction was Mickey Mouse. Mickey came in at the time of cake cutting as a big SURPRIZE to the kids.Mickey made train with the kids, broke piniata for the kids and had pics with everyone there..
There were good games like couple musical chair, 4 corners, marble and spoon race, grouping game and there was 100% participation. So, it turned out to be good.
Finally, we all danced for sometime and party ended.
Also, there was blue,black or white dress code and most of the people were wearing it.
We had a prize for best coordinated dress family and it went to my senior lead.

Goody bags was princess and character lunch totes to all the kids above 2 years of age.

Thanks for reading about this event!!
