I haven't posted anything in months now.But, i have lot of them in drafts..will need to post back dated. But wanted to give a quick update here..since i am planning to update this blog regularly. Once you are out of it, you are out of it. It's really difficult to get back to it. :P
Anyways, this month Ashu has been on a roll :)
1) He get outstanding certificate in tamil. We were surprised when we got the mail from his teacher. He can read and write at a very slow pace and speaks like settu payyan. But there not many kids in his class and only two kids are fluent in reading and writing, so they both got outstanding certificate. LOL! What was even funnier was when i called him to say we need to go to the temple in the evening for that, he said "Amma, stop kidding" LOL! But getting that certificate has certainly increased his interest in tamil for now :) and also AJ's :)
2) Ashu got on the window! There is this list that the maintain at his school called the window. The kids names go up in it if they make very good choices and are very well behaved. They get to have lunch with the principal and few of them even get some goodies from lucky draw. Ashu got selected this month. He obviously didnt bother to check with his teacher why he got selected. He ws just happy that he got selected and got to go for lunch with the principal. He got a t.shirt from the lucky draw too.
3) Ashu got bronze medal in school chess tournament. He didn't make it to semifinals last time and this time he beat the kids who beats him regularly and was extremely thrilled when he made it to semifinals. They gave him a very pretty looking medal that has some chess coins embossed in it, a king key chain and $5 cash prize.
4) All 4th graders wrote a book and they had the book display today for the parents. Most of them (even boys) did a great job. Loved Ashu's book and he got 100/100 on his book report :)
Ashu-ism : Today CSK lost and it is very highly unlikely for them to make it to the play offs. They now depend on other teams' performance. And Ashu came and said Tomorrow is a critical match for his soccer team and if they dont win they dont get to play on Saturday - Semis and finals. So, i said, Oh you are in a bad situation like CSK and he says..No, we are not. We dont have any teams who could help us move up. It's a true do or die situation for us :D
I will update about AJ later
