First Day of School 2015

A Pre-Schooler and a 3rd Grader in the house!

Vihaan was just being too sweet and cute today!

Vihaan

Cuteness Overloaded!!!

Goldfish!!

This morning Vihaan's standing in the kitchen, pointing at the box of Goldfish and crying (b/c I'd already told him "no, not for breakfast"). Sara looks at him and says in her staccato, matter-of-fact voice, "Vihaan, tujhe pitti khaani hai. Mein teen tak ginongi....ek, do, teen....mein mumma ko bhi nahi bataogi. Jhapad padega ab tujhe!!" 

We need to shop to get more money!

Background: Few weeks back, Vishal and Sara went to "Stop & Shop" to buy some groceries. Vishal paid the bill and requested $100 as cash back. 

Today, I was explaining Sara that we cannot waste money and she needs to save money in order for us to buy her a bunk bed.  She said, "No mommy, If you go shopping at 'Stop & Shop' ,  they will give you money for shopping. Remember daddy got 100 dollars - he only shopped for $27."

ha! I wish! :)

Pint-sized Picassos

Today, Hannu & Sara were getting bored after some playtime. I said, "How about some painting fun?" :) I got them each a canvas and the kids did an art project in the evening. At first, I have them follow a pattern of vertical lines, But then I just let them decide and they wanted to add them horizontal lines. My only rule was, "Don't smear the colors too much." :) They both did surprisingly well with the paintbrush and the instructions. 

I love it so much I'm commissioning these artists for a few more pieces for our house!

 

One year old!

Happy Birthday Vihaan! You are 1 year old today, but will always be our baby boy, Littlest Garg. You continue to be this wonderful light in our family. You Are Our Sunshine!

Walking is old news for the little guy by now. :) He's steady and actually pretty fast. One of my favorite things about Vihaan is that he comes when he's called. It's awesome. Whenever we call him, he emerges from wherever he is with a smile and walks right towards us.He  can say "mumma", "baa", jiji and "dada". 

There is one more upper dental friend pushing through, making that 7 teeth by his first birthday. We are now introducing whole milk to help strengthen those teeth and bones. We will slowly move him from bottles to sippy cups. Such a big boy!

Vihaan's First BMW

We got Vihaan a toddler car from BMW for his first birthday. More than him, Sara is using it for now :)

The Best Seat in the House

Vihaan has finally discovered how much fun his new chair can be:). He climbs up on it, sits for about a second, and then gets down and does it all over again. He does this every chance he gets!

If I took pictures of him doing this every time, I'd have many pictures for every day! I took these b/c he looked adorable.

Siblings!

For some reason, I thought they looked so similar today and wanted a picture of the two of them together.  oh my heart...LOVE these kids!
