So many things have happened in the last few weeks. I keep
thinking that I should document it on this blog and then life comes in the way…
So I thought I will document a quick high level summary.
Veer has been in preschool for about 3 weeks and the
transition has been surprisingly easy. I am almost scared to say how he has
taken to preschool. However, I do get the feeling that he is a little
overwhelmed. He isn’t the super star that he used to be in Toddlers.
Veeru graduated the first level of swim classes and they had
the kids do an adorable graduation walk in the pool… I cannot believe my baby is
growing up sooo fast. We start the next session in the fall.
We took a trip to the Cape this weekend. My husband and I
were raised in the coastal city of Madras/Chennai and we both love the water.
(Though I suspect D likes it more for his Florida memories) Veer on the other
hand flipped out! He was a lot happier making sandcastles on the beach. He was
good for the approx. 3 hours that we were driving which totally baffled me.
Last but not the least, the hugest milestones of them all –
We relinquished our white cuppy (Feeding bottle) for the paalu. S (The only
baby who is younger than V) fictiously inherited them. This is a huge change
and we are facing quite some resistance as this was the one thing V held onto
as a security blanket.
My conversations with Veer are getting more meaningful by
the day. As divine retribution, some of these are exactly things I said to my
mom many many moons ago.
As we were getting ready to leave for school one morning and
I was handing him his lunch box:
V: Mommy what is for lunch today?
Me: Idly
V: Again. We ate idly last night for dinner.
My baby is growing up! I cannot believe my little baby is growing
up to be a little boy. I want my baby to be a baby for a little while longer. I am trying to squeeze as much summer as I can into the last few weeks of it that we have here in New England
