Rhea is 6!!

Our darling daughter turns 6 today! Hard to believe!!! Time has flown by so quickly and as she moves out of toddler hood, she is blossoming into a witty, smart, lively 6year old. She is such a joy to be around!! She has been counting down the days to today from last week.

She got a lot of calls today morning today to wish her Birthday - Daddy, Both Appachan and Ammachi's, Her perappa, ranimama and Sara, Kavya, Meghna and Bhavani Aunty.Daddy is traveling so we will have one more round of celebrations when he returns from his trip. We have tennis today evening but we will do take out from her favorite Vietnamese restaurant and then cut the cake I made.



She was so excited about her new clothes and her hello kitty coloring book today morning. I also got her a hello kitty balloon yesterday evening to kick off the celebrations.

Funny quotes (birthday related) from her -

On Saturday when I told her excitedly that we'll stop by the store to get her birthday gift (a bike with streamers et al). She said 'Mom, That's great but it wont be a surprise for me. I can go to my cousins house if you want when you go shopping for the bike!'

Today she came down the stairs and said - 'Am I really 6 today? I don't feel 6'. Then pausing for a few seconds she continued 'Well, I do feel 6, yesterday these pants were too long and now it just fits me. I'm taller today!!'.

Later on - 'Am I going to Ms.Jackson's class today or to Sean's school?'. She thought that turning 6 meant starting 1st grade at Sean's school right away :)
