Life is rushing by too fast for me to catch and document.
Lil V is starting preschool in the fall. Preschool!!! And Big V, is wrapping up
Kindergarten and starting 1st grade in the fall. Due to my illness,
I felt that some parts of my kids growing up have skipped by too fast or it may
be the day to day parenting that prevents me from grasping their growth! The
kids have different personalities and I am noticing that their interests are
very different as well. Vaasu is all about cars, trucks and trains. Veer’s
interest are varied and he is an amazing piano player. He has given two piano
recitals and is interested in Star Wars and something called Ninjago!! He has a
gang – VTCL!! A gang of friends… I distinctly don’t remember having a gang at
6!! I am so proud of him… On a personal front, I have been cooking extensively
at home and learning meal prep. Gradually, I am finding that I appreciate my
home cooking better than most Indian restaurants food… I have signed up for a
CSA farm share and learning that it may or may not be the best decision I ever
made… Too many greens that I am unfamiliar with… I think the better bet would
be to grow my own of the veggies that I eat… I am trying my hardest to lose my
maternity weight and get to the weight that I was in college!! It’s dragging...
I have good weeks and then I have some not so good weeks but I feel that this
time it’s a little more serious… I haven’t regressed and I am chugging along
saying to myself – I think I can…
Last week was the last day of Kindergarten for Big V and Lil
V is starting preschool in the fall! Where has the time flown!?! At times I
feel that my illnesses has caused me to miss some parts of my boys growing up.
Or maybe the day to day parenting is making me stop and catch a breath and
watch them grow up as fast as they are… My kids have different personalities and
interests – Vaasu is all about the cars, trucks and trains while Veer is more superheroes,
Star Wars and something called Ninjago! Veer is also an amazing piano player
and has gotten over his fear of swimming and has quite literally taken to
swimming like the proverbial fish to water. Vaasu is still too young to judge
quite yet his skill set but from what I see so far he is extremely organized
and loves to clean and sweep and mop. Veer has a gang of BFFs which they have
called VTCL which is the first letter of their first names. Vaasu has several
friends who are all girls and I don’t know if this is a sign of anything in the
future.
On the personal front, I have been extensively cooking at
home and learning meal prep. I am finding that I appreciate my home cooking
better than I do most Indian restaurants food. For the first time this summer,
I have signed up for a CSA farm share and am learning that this may or may not
be the best decision that I have ever made. It’s been an interesting experience
so far and I have a kind neighbor who is willing to take off my hands any
greens that I won’t eat which is a HUGE bonus. I have also been trying to lose
my maternity weight and try to get to the weight when I was in college or when
I had first moved to Boston (Both were approximately the same thing…) I have
some good weeks and some not so good weekends. I find that I am pretty good
about sticking to a schedule/meal plan on the weekdays but not so accurately on
the weekends. But all in all, I feel that this time it’s a little serious. I
haven’t regressed and I am chugging along saying to myself – I think I can… I
think I can…
