Park Fun, Mar 28, 2012

Dear Vedant, I have always wanted to take you to the park and have fun there. Today was the first time we really had a ball. I have taken you a couple of times and you did have some fun. Mostly it was the change. Once we went to the park with Aarti Aunty and Varun Uncle. That was cute too. However, today wsa super fun! You really liked the slide. Climbed over the slide stairs for the first time. You also liked the swing the little. You played wiht some other kid's soccer ball. The kid's mom was nice to you. You also wanted another kid's sand kid. I will buy them for you too. love you sweetie. There is a park opening close to our home and I will take every day, as much as I can. Lots of love, Amma

Spanish ABC fun

Dear Vedant,

I just wanted to remember this cute thing you did about a week ago, perhaps March 21st 2012 or so. Rohini aunty has given us a Musical Table for you. It has the musical ABC in Spanish and English. One evening when Dad and I were back from work and playing with you in your play room you randomly started playing the Spanish version of the ABC and danced to it. You were very excited to listen to the Spanish version. You would play it again and again and dance to it.

It was a fun night. You love your music, I ordered a rhymes cd for you, I hope it gets here soon.

Lots of love and hugs and kisses :)
My sweet one,
Love,
Amma

Cheerios Fan

Dear Vedant,

I started giving you Gerber puffs in all kinds of flavors - Banana, Apple-Cinnamon, Cherry and Peach when you were 8-9 months old. You used to use two hands to take it to your mouth. You loved them and would get excited at the sight of the yellow boxes.

And then I started giving you Honey coated Cheerios. Very quickly they became your favourites. You would even pick and eat only the cheerios from a bowl that had both Cheerios and puffs. You really loved Cheerios.

I will add a pic of you enjoying Cheerios.

Lots of love,
Amma

First Shoes

Dear Vedant,

I want to remember how your first shoes went. I bought brown sandals for you and when I brought them home, Papa was like - "I always wanted imagined red shoes with white laces for my kid". Nanny Aunty was like " I thought they will be soft, made of fabric". It was so cute, both of them had a clear idea of what they wanted for you. I had gone to 3 different stores and bought this one for you.

Anyhow, when I tried putting them on you, that was hard! You cried!! You were so unhappy with the shoes. You did not want to wear them at all. And papa was like - he doesn;t like shoes. Leave him alone!! :) Oh my.. you really did not want to wear them.

Next weekend I returned the brown sandals and bought 3 other shoes for you. THe cute one was not comfy but of the two from stride rite, finally one has worked. Aunty puts them on you when she takes you for a walk. I ask her to let you walk near the fountains and the ducks. How I wish we could do that together each day.

I will upload a pic of your first shoes soon.
Lots of love,
Amma.

First Crayons


Dear Vedant,

I want to remember your first try at coloring. I hope your life is full of colors, happy joyous ones. I wanted to remember the first time you tried your hand at coloring.
We were at Hobbee's near our home and met Karthik (dwarak peddanaina's brother) and his friend Samir. Hobbee's gave us a few crayons and the drawing. You didn't really get the coloring part on your own but did enjoy it a little when Papa and I tried it.

Just something I want to remember.

Lots of love,
Amma.

PS: I stole the two crayons from the restaurant. My keepsakes :)

Walking, for Real!

Dear Vedant,

Today was an amazing day especially in the amount you had seemed to grow in the time I was at work. This also reminds of me of something else, your crying when me or daddy go away to work. It is heartbreaking, but I hope you will see that we always come back and give you a lot of love.

Anyhow, so today was your big walking day!! You walked all the way from the kitchen to the sofa on your own. Your walk too is so cute. So confident, very differnet from how you were doing it yesterday. I will always remember the change.

Lots of love,
Amma

PS: Your sleep training is on. It is hard on me, dad and you. Love you loads, miss feeding you, miss putting you to sleep. Lots and lots of love.

Shapes Puzzle


Dear Vedant,

Yesterday was an awesome day. You did the whole shapes puzzle, each shape into its right place. It was amazing! I have played this puzzle with you over and over again and usually you would get bored by the third/fourth piece. This time not so. You have always loved "Circle" though.

Anyway, this evening went like this. Me, daddy and you were playing in your play room. I just picked up the shapes puzzle and was trying to get you interested. You completed the puzzle without losing interest.

My smart little boy.
Lots of love,
Amma

Sand kit fun!


Dear Vedant,

Today was a really nice warm sunny day. I came back from work and we both went to Thamien Park. We had a great time. I let you lose in the sand pit. You played wiht the sand pit kit for the first time. It was really fun! You also really liked the slide and slid down on your own. You didn't like the swing so much.

Daddy gave you  a bath when we got back. It is still hot here, the windows are open and you are asleep in our bed.
