End of Summer Nearing


Well little Rohiner, I'm very sorry that it's been over 3 months since we last updated our blog.  You're growing up just fast Rohin.  It's amazing to watch.  First things, first.  This picture was taken recently in July of 2012 when you and your brother and sister were upstairs jumping in a pile of stuffed animals from the sliding board in the actic.  Speaking of jumping -- you are a jumping master.  you love to jump all over the furniture.  You're really quite amazing to watch.  you can jump all the way from one living room chair all the way to our sofa -- a solid 6 to 8 ft.  You also love to jump off the bed into a pile of our pillows. 

Rohin -- you're so incredibly smart and your mind is a sponge.  You love these mind game books and can nail every question in them. You also are a voracious reader and love to ask what things say.  You're also so perceptive -- you have the ability to see things and understand things well beyond your years.  Mommy and daddy love you so much.  I just cannot imagine what the future holds for you -- it's going to be immense.  I just hope that the time travels slower so that I can enjoy all of thes perfect moments in time that I've been blessed to have with you. 

Summer has been just great this year.  Over the summer, we went to Masanutten with many of our family friends,  we went to the farm and you also went on a trip with mommy, Usha auntie, Nisha auntie to New York to visit Savitha auntie.  Summer has been filled with trips to Great Falls park, Smithsonian parks, Sport bounce and children museums. I'd need to write about 20 pages to talk about all of these experiences and am sorry that I didn't keep up with the blogs this summer.  I promise we'll do better this fall. 

In general Rohin, you love spending time with your brother and sister.  one night mommy and daddy split up to take you and Talin on separate date nights.  We called each other on the phone and you and Talin were so cute talking to each other -- you agreed that we should all meet at Chic-fila (your new favorite restaurnat) for dinner -- and you both were so happy to see each other.  That happened recently when mommy and daddy had to travel on a business trip and Aeowyn was with amuma for the day and you hugged her so much when she came home.

With Fall coming, so too is school Rohin. Mommy and daddy have been thinking so much about the next year when you go to school.  It's such a huge decision to think about your schooling and the impact that it will have your on personality development and happiness.  It's actually one of the hardest and scariest decision I think we have faced as your parents.  I hope we are making the right decision Rohin when you read this many years from now.  I want you to know that we do agonize over these kinds of things as you will one day for your children.  With that said, pre-school is on tap -- and you're not too jazzed about going back.  But I think you'll love it when you get back into the flow of things. Aeowyn is joining you both at school this year but will be downstairs. 

In other news, daddy got a skid steer -- that's been pretty fun news -- but you still love the gator the best and love to drive it and press the accelerator.  You also still love to shove things in your pants pockets and one night when you had pajamas on without pockets, you had to reach down in your pants and pulled out coins -- which was just hilarious to see.  Most times we find side walk chalk in your pants.

One daddy thing that he loves to do is put you boys down to sleep at night.  He lays in between you when you go to sleep to keep the peace!  Well, this is so much fun because every night you and Talin talk about things.  Recently, we talked about how to deal with bullys and mean people -- but we can sometimes talk about the next day or things that are on your mind.  It's so much fun.

Last funny story for now -- recently you had some balloons and were handing them out to everyone in your family.  you walked up to mommy and said mommy here is a brown balloon.  Mommy asked for anohter color and you said -- "no mommy -- this is yours because your gums are black".  Sometimes Rohin -- you're just too much. Of course, it's your way to work through why mommy and a beautiaful indian woman.  You've asked the question about pink gums versus brown gums before-- which is so cute. 

Love you Rohin so much. You've made our life so incredibly wonderful.
