weekend with babies

On Saturday, we went to Amruta maushi's house. She works in the same place as daddy and they are friends. She has a baby named "Shlok" who is about 8 months old. I made friends with him and played with him. In the end I wanted to take him home, but he had to stay with his parents.

Yesterday we attended the naming ceremony for another baby (she was named "Ruble" yesterday). Her dad and mine are friends and work together in the same place. I had a good time there too.

Back from mumbai

We drove back from mumbai this morning.Mommy and I were there since Saturday, Daddy reached last morning.

Monday was Bombay Aajoba's Retirement Day. He had a lot of fun on his last day at work and in the evening his friends came to drop him home as is their custom.I made friends with his friends...these seemed like nice guys.Now he should have more time to play with me whenever I go to Mumbai next (end of May?)

Fun filled week

Last Sunday we were at Preeti Atya's place all day. Athu came with us on the way home and stayed until yesterday. I was very happy that he was around and played with him a lot. Preeti Atya too came on Monday and they all left late last evening.

Athu used to go swimming everyday and daddy would go sometimes too. They always invited me but I prefer to not swim yet. Maybe after I grow up a bit. Priyavrat already swims with his grampa but I am a little scared to enter the water.

Arnav turns 2

Yesterday was Arnav's birthday and I went to his birthday party. We had a lot of fun!

Chimpugiri vs Gandhigiri

They say that kids usually drive everyone around them crazy after entering the third year.
Mihir is no exception. He does, or wants to do things which no "normal" person can easily imagine.

I have decided to label these acts as 'Chimpugiri' and try and counter them with 'Gandhigiri'.
It is not easy for both of us, lets see who wins.

Some examples of Chimpugiri (attempting to disallow any of these leads to loud and violent protests)
1.Not bathe at all
2.Bathe with clothes on
3.Bathe with no soap
4.No meals during the day (only after midnight)
5.Throwing everything that fits down the window
6.watch TV seated at a 90 degree angle to the screen
7.Avoid changing clothes (he says 'i want to remain dirty, i like it that way')
8.Reject any dress that we bring to change and insist on wearing odd combinations (yellow t-shirt with gree shorts and blue shoes and so on)
9.No brushing teeth (he has only 7-8 of them so far anyways)
10. Insist on using a different toothpaste if at all
11. I will add more as I remember them

Gudi Padwa

Wish you all a very happy Gudi Padwa and a happy new year!

Aaji got me a slate and stencils and I did the 'Saraswati Pujan' this morning.

unwell

Down with Cold, cough, fever and a bad stomach. The bad stomach probably comes from all the biting that I have been doing lately..(daddy thinks so)
