Dear munchkin

Today is the 31st of December 2010.You had a great year starting in India.I dont think you remember your stay there but you had truck loads of fun.You had this wide eyed stare whenever you saw a cow or a buffalo pass by our streets and would ask to be taken to the roadside to look at them marching down.You loved going on shopping trips with thatha and always came home holding a new toy.I had a great time with you in India.Watching through your eyes, I came to realise the joy in simple things around us and how we always overlook them.Once we were back you were stuck like a glue to papa.We celebrated your birthday party with friends and you chose the "Thomas the tank engine" theme once again, 2 years in a row.
You started preschool this year.You write the alphabets and numbers quite well and starting to spell words.We had a visit from perippa and vasu akka(uncle and his daughter) in summer and you had an awesome time visiting the Zoo. You have been learning to swim and starting to learn soccer.Your first two swim classes were torture to me.You cried the whole 45 minutes of the class and used to say "mamma hold me".I was so apprehensive of whether you would ever lose your fear for water but you did a real U-Turn starting from your 3rd class.You took to the water like a fish and you now look forward to you swim classes.
Lots of happenings, halloween, christmas, easter, your graduation, road trips, and so much more.
That was 2010 for you and heres wishing lot more joy, cheer, smiles your way in the newyear.
love you munchkin...mamma

cars, trucks and a big robot

These were munchkins christmas gifts.Ever since december started he has been asking "is it christmas today mama?" and so when we said tomorrow is christmas he was literally jumping up and down.He was so wound up that linux and me had to tell him that unless he slept santa isnt going to stop over at our home.
Today morning munchkin opened his gifts.We had brought him some more of the "Cars" characters, a haul truck and a robot.He has been exploring how the robot works from early morning.He loves his gifts but it didnt take much time for him to ask "so, is santa going to come again today?", "What gifts will i get today?".

Munchkins Christmas party

Munchkin had his christmas party at school today.It was more of a heritage party as their school had asked us to bring a dish that was unique to our heritage.The party was to start at 3:00 with santa coming in and giving out the gifts.Munchkin had made a list for santa and one among them was Cars(not just cars, the film 'Cars' cars).So we had brought a radiator springs geotrack set and given it to his teacher last week.Munchkin was all excited about santa giving him a present and he couldnt wait for his name to get called.He loved his gift, proof the picture where he cant tear the gift wrapper any faster.

Migrating

I have a lot to say, both in person and the virtual world.The idea behind this blog was to have a chronology of munchkin's moments and i want it stay that way.I have started another blog where i ramble.As i said i have a lot to ramble.My other blog is coherentthoughtsofaramblingmind.blogspot.com
I am so happy that i have 4 followers and you are the reason i continue to blog.Do stop in to my new blog.

Curled up with a good book

Thats my idea of bliss!Not kidding...seriously.Atleast one of my ideas of bliss.There is nothing like getting into a brand new world filled with characters that make you laugh, cry, long, despair, cherish, love, hate and all this just by a play of words.That my friend is the essence of a good book where you feel like you are one in their world.I have become more of a fantasy, paranormal reader.They are my favorite genres off late along with romance(ofcourse!).I like science fiction too but once you read Assimov's works the others somehow dont reach you.I have been reading C.L. Wilsons Tairen series for the past three days and i love it.Fantasy and romance , the book is great.So thats where i am - curled up with a good back and i am loving it!
