Happy Five AJ Baby!

Aj turns 5 today. Something he's been waiting for..like forever :) He cant wait to goto "big" school. I told him that since he is a big boy now he needs to eat like a big boy and he said for that he needs to wait till he turns 10!! Hmmm..and what does he ask the first thing in the morning? "Daddy, now that i am 5, will you let me drive your car"? Very selective..proves he is the same sunsign as JJ ;-)

 

He told me few days ago that he has selected "my gift for him" and it is the peargram and applegram since we already have the bananagram and then he said he has selected "car2 wii for daddy and motion plus for ashu". He said it in such a cutesy way that we all fell for it and got everything for him!! The little brat!! :D

 

They have this norm at his class called Celebration, where the birthday kid has to carry the globe around the sun (pretend ofcourse) the birthday number of times and then talk about his life :) For that, he had given me clear instructions on how i need to prepare the charts with his photos and then he did the presentation. He really loved it :) In the evening,we went to the temple and then to PF Changs for dinner. He loves PF  changs for their dessert. I made kaju katli for him and he was quite excited about that too and said i am the nicest girl in the world :D

Feb 2012

 

 

Feb 2012 :

 

Can't believe it's already  Feb! Since we came back from chennai, we have been taking turns and falling sick. The winter  isn't even half as bad as last year, but i guess all the travel and change of place are factors for falling sick.

 

Ashu participated in the county level 4-H contest and came 5th in his group. He didnt make it to the finals as only the top two from each group were qualified.But, they gave  him a ribbon and took  a photo of the top 5 :) We were super proud of him. He did great,especially considering that he was the first to go!!

He was little soft and did not smile. I think if he works on it, he can be #1 next year :) AJ told  ashu that  he thinks  that Ashu was thebest and they should've given him the 1st place ribbon :) And within seconds he started annoying ashu...

 

14 Feb 12: V-day!

 

Kids were excited not because it was V-day, but because of all the goodies they would get from school!! ;-) For ashu, we picked the cards with a mini candy bar that can be rolled into the card, but for AJ i picked plain cards thinking his school is strict with those stuff, but he came with lot of candies!! I was one of the few "stingy" moms who didnt send any candies for the kids. I got big chocolate boxes for the teachers and later in the evening, aj told me "Mommy, you know there is no rule that you need to send chocolates only for teachers, you can send for kids too..hehe" :D

 

Another funny thing was, he was helping ashu with his cards the previous night and ashu had  3 left over cards and aj said, "ashu give appa one, one for me and you can have the other". I was wondering why he didnt mention my name and ashu asked him right as i was thinking of that and aj said "Oh don't give amma, because she is dieting and i will make sure she is eating only healthy food"!!! The little brat!! :D

 

I volunteered at ashu's school for the party and the kids were pretty independant and i didnt have to do much there and got to chat with my friend ;-)

 

17 Feb 12 : Calling God!!

 

Today, i was packing lunch while aj was eating his breakfast and he was squishing his idly and making a mess.I said "Krishnaaa!" and he asked why did you call Ummachi and i said so He will make me not see the huge mess you are making and AJ said " Well, you could just turn your face away from me and that will make you not see the mess..why are you calling God for such a simple thing?!"
