Remote Control!
I always thought the best way to take revenge on B was to hide the TV remote, but i fouund the truth today. We have lost our Remote and i am the one who was going crazy and B was annoyed with me running around crazy for the remote that he went and got the old remote and programmed it for me!! I was not going crazy because i could not change channels, i was going crazy because i could not find that damn remote!! I am sure it will still drive me nuts for some more days :) So, i guess i have to find another way of taking revenge because the disappearance of remote had no effect on B!!

Who is Brilliant?
Today Aj was playing with letters - the very few fridge magnets that are still there.
He made up a word with what was there - Ewiyak and said mommy it is Ee-wa-yak.
I said Wow he is brilliant he made his own word and read it right too to B who was in the living room. B asked him what it meant and he said, it mean Ee-Wa-Yak. After sometime, i changed it to Yekiwa and said AJ i formed a new word Yekiwa and he went to B and said Daddy 'He' made a new word Yekiwa but he is NOT Brilliant. :P

Snowed in...
Snowed in for 4 days without much snow. Ashu went to school for couple of days and school was closed for 4 days for snow. He enjoyed his mini vacation post vacation. Perfect for him...It was tough for me and B though. Work was way too hectic after the break and juggling work from home was tough.
Anyways, they are both back to school today and AJ went to Green room, which is a 3 yo room.
He actually went there couple of times last week (the only 2 days he went that is! :)) He liked it and i thought the transition was easy breezy. I dropped Ashu at school and AJ didn't cry at all. It was a big surprise because every time i drop ashu, aj throws a huge tantrum that he wants to goto Ashu's school and not his daycare. Today, he was just fine. So i thought he was actually waiting to goto green room. Then, we walk into the daycare and he asked me 'So is it blue room or green room?' ;-) then i took him to green room, nobody was there. They were in the big playground. So one more thing for AJ to be excited about that he gets to goto the big kids playground.
I took him there and he ran without saying bye to me. I signed him in and gave him a hug and when i was about to leave he said, okay come let's go. i was like huh? He said, i'm done let's go. he was done with green room friends in 1 minute!! Then i had to distract him and sneak out!!! So lesson learnt : Never believe what you see :)
When i dropped ashwin, it was just 1 min before the start time so i asked him to go first and then i went and parked the car and took AJ inside to check about LEAPS registration. When i walked in they were announcing Ashu's name in the speaker and asked him to goto the principal's office. I almost fainted thinking he was in trouble for something and he came out of his class all happy and proud. Asked him why he was called and he said it was for the Reading certificate. That was the first time i saw him so excited about getting a certificate and it really felt so touchy for me. All the other times he used to go as if he was getting the certificate for some body else. he is probably like B and my bro..they both never get excited or dont like to show their excitement..and me???I would have walked as if i got Oscars :D and i bet AJ is like that :D

Good bye 2009 and Welcome 2010
Can't believe it is 2010 already.
Highlights of 2009 -

Mar - I turned 22 again ;-)
May - B completed his MBA. I was happier than him and ofcourse happy for him :)
Jul - Trip to Niagara
Aug - Ashu turned 7
Oct - B turned 27 again..I dont want to be partial
Nov - 11th anniversary. B must be a saint now ;-)
We also made a trip to Orlando. First one for AJ. Both kids were extremely excited!
Dec - Changed flooring to hardwood. House looks pretty now :) It is still messy, but pretty!!
2010 - Started with a visit to temple, followed by dinner and movie (Avatar!) Movie was so so..storywise, but was awesome to watch. Visual treat. Aj slept within few minutes. That was the plan ;-) Ashu watched it fully, although i was hoping that he would fall asleep too..but muttaikannan watched it fully :) There were couple of scenes that were not suitable for kids and i did a good job by distracting him :D B made a comment that i was like Bagyaraj. GRR
We got tickets only to the 10.20 show and i was okay with it becasue i wanted the kids to sleep. I was thinking we were probably the only ones to take the kids to a 10.20 show, but no..there were quite a number of kids. and get this..there was a show after that at 1.20 and a desi couple with a baby was there with a big flask. not sure if it had milk for baby or coffee for them :D
today - back to work. feeling ore sogam. to make it worse it was snowing and it was 18F outside. Booohooo..Years may come and go, but i will never change on this aspect :D
