Christmas 2010

It’s hard to believe that Christmas came and went so fast. Before talking about Christmas, we have big news last night Rohin on 12/27/10. Daddy took the rail off of the crib and turned it into a toddler bed. You were so adorable jumping in and out of bed. You also were such a good boy and went right to sleep last night and didn’t get out of bed. You fell out one time at 1am and daddy heard you, but you were fast asleep and he put you right back in. We’re so proud of you.

December has been a really busy month getting ready for the holidays. You did have another ear infection though and so did Talin – which was the only downside this past month. This makes 7 ear infections since the beginning of the year, so we have to take you to a specialist doctor to check it out.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year – the best ever in fact! All of our family was here to celebrate. For Christmas eve, we had dinner at Ammuma and Thatha’s house. Grandma and grandpa and some of your aunts and uncles came over as well. You all had a great time running around the house. You kept showing Thatha the fountain in his house and was so interested that the water was smoking but not hot! At night when we got home, you set out cookies and milk for Santa – but drank a little bit of his milk out of his glass – but we didn’t tell him. On Christmas day, mommy and daddy, grandma and grandpa were here to greet you, Talin and Aeowyn when you awoke to find all of the presents that Santa had left for you! You really were excited about presents this year Rohin and got so many wonderful toys and clothes.

In other news, you’re really getting into singing songs now Rohin and even were singing the lyrics to frosty, jingle bells, and the time to go sheepy sheep song that we sing every night. You still love your fruits and vegetables but not much of a meat eater still. You also love light switches – and turning the light on and off in the upstairs playroom.

We cannot believe that you are coming up on three years old Rohin. 2011 is shaping up to be a wonderful year and we look forward to watching you grown into such an awesome little man. You’re very responsible and thoughtful little boy. So now onto 2011 – you go back to school next week and go up one grade level. Talin is also now going to school with you and will be in your old class! Happy new year son!

Thanksgiving 2010

Well Rohin – you continue to grow up too fast! Every week seems to bring something new. Your command of the English language is amazing. You string words and sentences together so easily. You love to listen to conversations and love to ask “why”. You’re an absolute master at procrastinating for bedtime now. You like to say “one more time” many times over when we rock you or pat you in your crib at night. You also love to ask to go potty right when mommy and daddy put you down in bed. The big news is that you have learned how to get out of your crib to mommy and daddy’s surprise. It happened in the middle of November when we let you and Talin switch cribs (which was a bad idea) – and you got out of his crib. Then, the other day, after nap time – daddy went to get you out of the crib and you came running out of your room laughing away! So a toddler bed is in your near future. You love to read books and really still love to drive your car around. You’re really into this little yellow car and also the new doctor play kit as well as carrying around fake food in a jack-o-lantern. We had a great Thanksgiving together as a family and went to ammuma and tata’s house. We had guests during that time, including Chris Uncle and Maria Auntie along with their two children Ava and Layla. You and Talin had so much fun playing with them. About 30 people came for Thanksgiving and it was so nice – all friends and family.

Also, we’re in high gear for Christmas and this past weekend, all of us went and got our Christmas tree. We went to this place that not only had trees but farm animals that they allowed you to feed and pet. So off mommy went to get the tree with Aeowyn and daddy, Talin and you all went to play with the farm animals. You had a great time and loved the billy goats and rabbit but thought the pig was a little pushy. You didn’t like the chickens very much either. We put up the Christmas tree and you and Talin had a blast running around it and pulling on the lights. Daddy also bought a train to go around it and you and Talin love to watch the train and make it go and stop – but you keep pulling the trains off the track … Christmas is coming Rohin! We cannot believe this will be our third Christmas with you. It’s hard to believe what Christmas was like before mommy and daddy were blessed with you three in our lives.
