Watching the Fork lift in Costco

Dear Vedant,

We had our own private Fork lift demo in Costco today. Whenever we go to Costco, you want to look at the Fork lift. You remember that they have lots of them going around. You wanted to see them today too. So while Dad was shopping, you and I went to the back of the store to look for Fork lifts. We stood in a corner and were "staring" at the Fork lifts. A Costco worker came along and asked us what we were doing.I told him that you wanted to just see Fork Lifts. He then went out of his way to please you. He took out the keys and drove the Fork Lift around so you could see what it does. You were thrilled!

Happy to see you beaming.
Love,
Amma

Making up the "Monkeys Jumping on the bed" song

Dear Vedant,

You are being really natkhat these days. Today you were making up the monkeys jumping on the bed song to suit what you were doing. When you were jumping on the sofa, you were singing "One little Monkey jumping on the Sofa". Then you moved to the floor, playroom, amma, etc. It was so cute :)

You were giggling throughout and generally very cheerful. Remain this happy always.

Lots of love,
Amma

Mumma Monday bhi hogi

Dear Vedant,

We were together this weekend and I said to you that because it is Saturday, we can do such and such. Or that it is Sunday and we can take the afternoon nap together. And then, at sometime you said to me "Mumma Monday bhi Hogi". It wasn't really a question. It was a statement and then you were looking at me, waiting for me to say "Yes, Mumma hogi". Broke my heart.

Love,
Amma

Sunday Good Afternoon Ninnu Together

Dear Vedant,

I miss spending time with you (pretty much always). Our weekend afternoon sleep is together, on Amma's bed. This weekend you said to me, "aaj Sunday he, and Vedu Amma bed me ninnu kar sakta he". Before I could say anything, you brought Bholu and Green blanket and made yourself comfy :)

Very cute indeed. If I could, I would hold you all the time.
Lots of love,
Amma

Wearing your Elmo night t-shirt

Dear Vedant,

You are now very aware of what you are wearing. I mean, you know that you are wearing Elmo or a truck. Today you wanted to wear the Elmo T-shirt (night suit) and sleep. You can even tell the difference between Carter's regular PJs and the night suits. The Elmo Tee is a little small for you. You wanted to wear it anyway. And then you said you want to go out in it. I am going to let you do that. No harm done. You can wear it if you like.

See you tomorrow. Hamare ghar ka chota baby.
love,
Amma

Making strawberry with atta

Dear Vedant,

We had a lot of fun yesterday. You and I. We played around with atta. You said "vedu ko atta goondna he". So we made some dough. Then I reaching the heights of my creativity, we made a strawberry out of the atta. Aunty then made a Pear for you today. This evening you wanted to play with atta again. I told you I will make Grapes for you. Papa said he will make a watch for you. I asked you "aap kya banaoge". You said - "a big ball". :)

Perhaps tomorrow. Sleep tight chinu. Love.
Amma

Elmo brushing - every night!

Dear Vedant,

I don't know how this happened, when you figured you could do it too. Tonight, at your night time brush, you started singing the Elmo brush song. You moved like the kids in the video do, shook you head, smiled, giggled, it was so cute! You even had the tune down, including the big punch in the end. We both were laughing away :)

You love this song so :)

Lots of love,
Amma

Feeding Aunty

Dear Vedant,

This was so cute. Innocent and naughty at the same time. You said to Aunty. "Aunty aap high chair me bheto, Vedu aapko khana khilayega!".

:) Aunty wrote this on the cloud for me to see later in the evening. So cute.

Lots of love,
Amma
