I checked this blog after ages in jun 2012 and realized it really has been ages since i logged into blogger. Both of them, i mean. The last update was in june 2011!! Holy Cow!!
With a panic attack, i looked at my draft and i have a huge update in there....Phew!
Apparently i have been documenting things once in a while and am so thankful for my habit of maintaining a journal of everything about the boys. It may not be everything anymore, but atleast i am still keeping up with it.
I am posting my old drafts backdated to make some sense
So let me start with Summer..

So let me start with Summer..
Summer Camp
We signed up Ashu in different camps, but for AJ there was not many options. 99% of the camps are for kids 5 and above. AJ was quite upset, but i signed him up at this preschool where they have cool activities planned for summer. AJ is so fascinated by this school that he wants to continue there. The problem is it adds another 15 minutes to my commute. It's not too bad, but if i get stuck in traffic, i am doomed. Like, last monday it took me nearly 2 hours to reach work..and the evening wasn't that great either. Another 1.5 hrs. Killed my back. And all of a sudden, the little dude asks if i will change him back to old school and i said, yes baby, so you can play with your old friends and he says " but, you can ask their mommies to change them to this school. this school is cool anyways!"
Ashu went to soccer camp and said he is doing really good. He was so tired when he was back at home though. it's only a two week camp, so he was okay after that. but, i will not sign him up for outdoor sports next summer. Fries the kids.
He also went to two awesome camps - Encore at school and the Discover India camp. Awesome, it was.
That reminds me of something..
Whoever said that people with kids have longer life is either mental or they don't have kids. When Ashu went to Discover India camp, he was pretty excited about it because 2 of his best buddies were in that camp too. This camp didn't have after care and we were supposed to pick him at 3. So, B was on the way to pick him and Ashu called me on my mobile from his friend Ro's grandpa's mobile and said,...okay at this point i didnt understand if he was saying or asking because i was in panic mode since i got a call from Ashu ..so he said/asked "Am i supposed to goto Ro's house" My head started spinning because i have no clue where B is at, because i saw him leave on time, so he can't possibly be late and then i am panicking thinking that Ashu is all alone at the temple and i just can't think at this point...So, i asked him where he was and if he was waiting all alone..Dumb question i know..since he is calling from ro's grandpa's mobile. but as i said my brain stopped working after the panic attack. So, i call B and he says he is almost near temple and i call ashu and said dad is almost there and he says i am in the car. So, i assumed he was waiting in the car because it was hot outside. then in 1 minute B calls me and says Ashu called him and said he is already on the way to ro's house and B turned back and called to let me know. But, i was totally confused now and i asked him to go back to the temple to make sure he is not there. So, i managed to confuse him too..then i tried calling ro's mom, ro's grandpa and nobody picked the phone. by the time my hands were so shaky i thought maybe i should stop calling these people adn call 911 to take me to the hospital. so, one last try to grandpa's # and ashu answer and clarifies that he is on the way to Ro's house! I am right now so MAD at ashu for making decisions and confusing us..GRRRRRR! Kids!!!! :P Serves me right...i did that at the exact same age and went to a friend's house without telling my grandparents and there was a lunatic neighbour who locked us out in a balcony to make sure we were safe and i couldn't get out till my friend's parents came. In that 1.5 hrs my grandparents and my dad who had come home early that day went all around mambalam looking for me. So, what goes around...comes around!!
