Anyways here’s a quick summary of the last 2 months,
I grew a year older and aji got me a DKNY watch for my birthday just the dial and color I wanted. I convinced him we didn’t need a birthday cake since I always end up tossing it after 2-3 days. We did order in some Chinese food since it is Sean’s favorite.
We celebrated Sean’s 4th birthday at Life Time fitness. He had a pool party and it was fire truck themed. He had fun except when we got out of the pool and he wanted to wear his shoes instead of sandals…we were able to divert his attention after a few tearful minutes and all was well in his world. He was sooo excited about all his gifts.
We went to Lake Anna during Memorial day weekend which also happens to be our Anniversary weekend. 7 years till date and I have to admit they have been memorable ones…and the good thing is both of us haven’t had the dreaded ‘7 year Itch’. Aji and the kids got me earrings. The lake getaway was fun…we caught lots of fish and jumped into the lake and had fun in the water…lots of good memories with friends and family.
Sean now knows upper and lower case letters. He also writes numbers up to 30 and counts till 100. He can spell a few words – boy, toy, cat, fat etc. He is very interested to learn to read so I need to get my act together and help him with that.
He is getting pretty good with some trivia too like the other day he told me all the planets and he missed Pluto. So I reminded him and he shot back…Pluto is not a planet mama, because it is very small…my little genius, I’m convinced now that he is paying attention to the teacher. He was also telling me something frog related the other day…escapes my mind now…oh well, I’m growing old…
Rhea had her 15 month appt. Here are her stats,
Height - (75th percentile)
Weight - 20.06 lb (15th percentile)
I got my first driving ticket. To make the wrong story short, it was the result of me driving on the curb 10 ft to over take the car in front of me who was clearly blocking my way (because the cop was in full view of him). I was totally blind sighted and got caught red handed for a whooping fine of $92. This with both Sean and Rhea in the car…I felt so embarrassed and had a talk about how Mom not following the rules led to being stopped by the cop. I hope they understood the underlying message..Sean kept wanting to see my ticket. So here it is…for the curious minds…
Sean is getting very good at his dinosaur puzzle. he does most of it by himself. here he is with the 'finished product'.
Rhea has had a vocabulary explosion too…she is such a big girl now…she says, Mama, Dada, Teta (cheta), Tu-tuh (turtle), Ta Ta, Hi, Uh-Oh. She gives flying kiss on command – well mostly. She will also get her sandals when asked to. aThe other day though I got the shock of my life when I heard her say – Hi Ma followed by Tha-ku (thank you) Ma…my baby is growing up so fast…
This weekend Aji is going to New York to celebrate Anishchayan’s 40th birthday. They leave sat morning and will be back Sun. I have to plan some fun things with the kids…I want them to think that mom does the coolest things
