HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN & HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABO AMMACHI
Yes, Sean and Mummy share the same birthday. In case you are wondering, sean refers to achachan and mummy as Babo appacha and ammachi since they taught him the babo kuruvi lullaby last year when they were here. Its one of his favorite songs :)
I woke him up today morning as i was rushing out to work and planted a big kiss and wished him. He was grinnign earb to ear when i told him 'You are 4 years today Sean'! He spoke to both the appachas and ammachis. He also wished babo ammachi on her birthday. Ammachi is turning 60 this year. HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY MUMMY!!! Wish we were there to share this wonderful day with you.
Sean was very happy and wore new clothes to school. He also took cake mix and cups. They bake the cupcakes at school and celebrate the birthday. He also wanted to take some of his pictures from when he was little to share with his friends. When i pcked him from school he seemed very happy. He said that as soon as he came to school all the kids in his class started wishing him Happy Birthday. Then later they all helped the teacher to make the cupcakes. During circle time Sean got to show everyone his pictures and then they tunrned off the lights, lit a candle and sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him. All of them then ate their cupcakes and then went out to play...this was how he summarised his school day.
After I picked him up he told me that babo ammachi's birthday is also today and that he wished her in the morning. On our way home we stopped by Lifetime fitness to make reservation for his birthday party.So we will have his official birthday celebration on May 20th. And as per his request its going to be a pool party just like Sarahs. He still hasn't made up his mind on the theme and is going back and forth between spiderman, Cars and his all time favorite Thomas the tank engine or any train related theme...we wil have to decide by this weekend though since i plan to send the invites out by then.
After we got him he listened to birthday messages from Kavya, P-emma, Joecheta and Tomcheta and Ranimama. I also told him that Priya Aunty and Bhavani Aunty had left birthday wishes by email. He was a lil disppointed that Sarah didnt call. Aji came home early and we cut his cake - Ice cream cake. He ofcourse was most interested in the icing.
Rhea seemed to enjoy the ice cream...we have another sugar lover in the family :) We also got chinese food which is Sean's favorite. Just as we were having dinner Pavicha called to wish him. Peppa, sarah and suzanna chechi called and wished sean.Rosiammai called later and then we called babo appacha since he wasnt there in the morning when he called.
Sean had a great birthday and was very happy. Its the first time we've seen him so excited about his birthday. He is waiting for his birthday party and keeps saying how everyone is going to get him gifts..he has gone to enough birthday parties to know that :)We are getting sean a bike for his birthday. We will go bike shopping this weekend. He is looking forward to that.

Sean is 4 years old!
Today Sean turned 4...hard to imagine how fast 4 wonderful yaers have passed by...i still clearly remember us rushing to the hospital at night, the agony and pain i went through for the next few hours and the best feeling ever when he finally made the grand entrance and made us proud parents...our little bundle of joy is now a smart little boy...everyday is such a joy...he has slowly transitioned from the shy toddler to an outspoken, funny and very caring and passionate boy the past year.
Such a difference a year can make...he has matured so much but still has his cute innocence.I love the fact that he comes and gives all of us an impromptu kiss or a hug. Its the best feeling ever. He adores his little sister...its amazing how protective he is of her..even though they have their moments...i love to see him showering her with kisses when we get back home from school...I also love the fact that he is such a total mama and dada's boy...he knows how to make both of us feel special...Seany we love you...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUTTA!!

Sean goes the American Idol way..
Sean has been learning a lot of songs from school these days and on our way back home he sings it for me and Rhea. He always improvises and adds his touch playing with the lyrics a little bit and its funny and entertaining at the same time...so its like watching American idol for me..I'd say its even better
SEANJAYA?
Today he sang 'Six little Monkeys jumping on a bed"...he sang that a number of times and improvised with 'six little monkeys sitting on a branch' it was funny though because after a while he got confused and would mix both the lyrics...Rhea is enthralled when cheta sings and would just watch him in wonder with wide eyes :)
Later today he was playing in the tub and started singing song,
First he started off singing 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEAN JOSEPH' in english and Spanish..he is soooo excited about his birthday tomorrow. Then he broke into this song below...
Wash your body
With Coconut Soap
Wash your tummy
With Coconut Soap
Wash your face
With Coconut Soap
Wash your feet
With Coconut Soap
Wash your penis
With Coconut Soap
Now this last 2 lines, I dont think was part of the original lyrics...it was so hilarious though I had to laugh out loud...he of course got a big chuckle out of it and then started making a whole bunch of lines for the song...

Rhea's adventures...
Rhea is becoming so mischevious...she has us on our toes all the time...
I love to entertain!
On Sunday, Sean had a minor boo boo and wanted mommy time to feel better so he was on my lap..Rhea was playing closeby and then I saw her walking off. Next few minutes were so quiet i started getting suspicious of her whereabouts. So I put Sean down and started looking for her and where do you think i found her...She ws in the powder room playing in the toilet water..she managed to pull some of the the tissue paper into the water. There was an empty tissue roller and she had that in the toilet. My first reaction was utter horror because it was so easy for her to fall head first into the toilet...Thank God for averting such a huge tragedy.Of course she was completely oblivious to my reaction and seemed to have the best time in the world.We have been pretty good at closing the bathrom door after use but we have to make sure Sean does it too because she seems to be enthralled by water and is soo excited about her new found love..
Rhea is transitioned into mostly walking now...this week i hardly saw her crawl..This is a good thing but it has also widely opened the doors for her getting hurt during her various adventures...yesterday i was clearing the table after dinner and all of a sudden i hear a big bang and she is on the floor screaming..i knew she had hit her face on the chair when she lost her balance...the RESULT..a big blue patch on her left cheek under the eye...Ouchie Ouch..poor baby...i iced the spot but today it was still a lil blue.When I went to pick her up from daycare, Ms Noori asked about her bruise. She wanted to make sure that i knew that the the bruise was not from day care..I assured her that it was from home..
Today evening..after we got home..I went upstairsto change my clothes. Both Sean and Rhea were near the toy box in the family room and i was certain it was pretty well 'Rhea Proofed'..Oh Boy was I wrong...I went up and no later than 2 minutes i hear them screaming and my first thought was that they were fighting for the same toy and I was beginning to tell sean to give in when he said 'Baby is putting the pen in her mouth'. I noticed that she had one of the markers in her hand wouldn't let go..sean being the big brother was trying to get it out of her hands. She had her grip so tight on it even distracting her with another toy was not working. i finally went down and took it from her and to my utter amazement she is green all over. She looked like she had just walked out of St Patty's parade. She had managed even to chew on it so her mouth was green. I immediately took her and scrubbed her down..even her tongue..its surprising she didnt throw up but i didnt care...she was just recovering from diarreha and i didnt want this to add to it...
I'm sure going forward everyday will be filled with fun, amazing, funny and hopefully not too horrifying experiences...
