bedtime questions

One of those moments that I had to put down....
**
Bedtime stories have passed on from me to my mom.The moment munchkin is ready for bed he takes the phone and dials up my mom for his bedtime story.The other day munchkin agreed to take a nap in the afternoon(he is slowly leaving his afternoon naps).When I took him to bed,he said he wanted a story from paati.I said "paati would be sleeping now."
munchkin to me : Is she taking a nap?
Me: "No,but it is bedtime for her. When we wake up,they go to sleep inn India.It is their night time."

Munchkin: "are they nocturnal animals?"

Me: laugh out loud!!

Spring is just round the corner..

I think its a fabulous time of the year though I feel that ever turn of the season.I can see flower buds popping up on the branches of the trees behind my homne and I am pretty excited.
Also excited about our vacation starting tomorrow.Munchkin has been telling everyone that he is going off on an adventure.We have brought some toys and I am going to pack it and take it along with us for munchkin's birthday.A birthday is never complete without atleast one present waiting for you when you wake up.Happy vacation to us..!!

The month that was...

Long time...
Long story....But to cut things short I am going to fall back on my listings mode.
* Our family took turns getting sick.First it was munchkin, then me and then Linux.Just when we thout the circle was complete Munchkin fell sick again but thankfully the order didn't repeat.
* Munchkin had his Valentine's Day party at school.Gave goodies and got back goodies which were mostly candies and it almost felt like Halloween again.
* We had snow almost every week until the last week of Feb.
* Munchkin has made it a rule that we eat as a family on weekends ("just like the Panda bears do") It feels nice sitting down together around the table and eating our lunch.We are still not able to do dinner together.

I had a lot of things on my mind when I started writing this post but for the life of me cant remember any more.March is a special month for us - It has Munchkin's birthdate. We have planned on a surprise Disney World visit. Sunny skies, Here we come!!!

Spiderman to the rescue

Our water heater started leaking all of a sudden.I had gone to the basement to do the laundry when i found half our basement was flooded with water.Then started endless hours trying to soak up the water using big blankets and wringing it out.Linux looked up the emergency contact number and was calling up the plumber when i heard munchkin using his toy phone and talking animatedly.
His conversation went like this:
"Hello !Is this spiderman?Hey how are you pal?Our water heater needs fixing..can you come straight away?And hey can you pick up Iron man on the way here?"

Our Favorites - 1

!

...And the award for munchkin's most favorite book goes to "The Little Engine That Could".Its become the most read book in our home.Munchkin just cannot get enough of the book.The title is self explanatory.The story starts with an engine carrying toys, games and goodies to god boys and girls when all of a sudden it breaks down.The toys then ask the help of other engines to carry them over the mountain and they are snorted upon and refused.Then comes the little blue engine that agrees to pull the load even its too little to carry all of them.It keeps chugging "i-think-i-can" and takes the toys, games and the goodies to the waiting boys and girls.I guess the winning factor in this book are the trains, atleast for munchkin.The book is about trains and the concept is simple for a preschooler, they identify with the boys and girls who are waiting for the toys.And no kid can have enough toys.So thats our favorite book for the past 3 months , still going strong
