Dhriti and Dhruvi - The Joy of My Life

This is this week's picture of yours.  Plan to post one every week.  

As mentioned earlier, I let you try the monaco biscuit topping yesterday evening.  Was a wholesome snack in the evening.  I just boiled the potatoes for you and then you setup your floor and started to work.  Your little hands filling in the little biscuits with potatoes, onions, tomatoes and sev was a sight to watch.  I will cherish it for ever.  Dad, Grandma and Grandpa all enjoyed it.  I was fasting :( so could not taste but today morning grandma made some for me to. Here are a few pictures captured - Chef Dhriti  

Here are a few pictures from you english book.  I wanted to show how good you are and want to thank GOD.  Hope you do well in all your coming years to.  Saturday there was open house in your school.  The teacher did not have anything to tell. Her feedback was that your are doing fine nothing to be noted just to keep practising on a daily basis.  How nice to hear this.  

I and your Dad love to be in water.  Though i don't know to swim and he just manages to swim to survive.  You have been a water animal from the begining.  When you were 1 and 1/2 old and we had taken you out to a resort in Arnala, you refused to see us in the fear of being taken out of water.  Your are still the same.  You just get pulled into the pool or into the sea.  So we are planning to start your swimming sessions soon but before that wanted to try out some sessions.  After all the research we found the only 2 good pools in mira road are in Asmita club and GCC club.  Both coach only for a month.  GCC pool is a bigger one and will not let you in untill you are 7yrs.  So here are a couple of pictures from the Asmita Pool a couple of weeks ago. 

Your school has started a monthly cooking session on the last thursday of every month.  Last month was a bread-butter-jam.  You were very excited and did take all the ingredients and seem to have had fun. This month's dish is Monaco biscuit toppings.  Things to be carried were monaco biscuits, boiled potato smashes, onion, tomato, and sev.  There was a nice layered box gifted to you by Gayatri (shyam's mom) almost a year ago.  It came into use today.  I got all the items expect biscuits into that box and was happy it would be mess free for you at school.  Its an orange colour box so matched it with an orange spoon a bit of creativity ;) I plan to let you try this for the weekend.  Hopfully will get done so i could post in the pictures

We have a TVS vego scotter brought in Jan.  I hardly get time to practice on a regular basis.  You always mentioned that your school friends are accompanied by their mom's to school.  the day before your birthday i thought of giving you a surprise.  So i dropped you  on the scotter to school.  This was my first ride so far and you were my strenght.  You were very happy and I thought you liked the surprise.  After that today again i ventured out and I dropped you on the school.  Took a longer route.  It was also raining.  Inside I was very scared but was just hoping to safely drop you to school.

My long cherished dream of sending you to the Indian Classical Dance finally came true last weekend when we got you admitted to the Kathak Dance Class with Ragini Teacher in RNA Broadway Avenue.  You have completed to sessions.  Might have to get you the uniform which is a white salwar kameez with green dupatha and gunguru.  The teacher suggested we get them after a month when the rains have reduce.  I already have the garment to get the uniform done.  Tomorrow is saturday and we need to go to the class. The teacher has also asked to attend the class with all the jewellery on like the long chain, bangels, hair clips, bands and a light make up where kajal and lipstick is complusory.  I plan to buy you a branded kajal and lipstick.  Need to check out the options suitable for children.

As the 23rd of June was arriving so was the excitement increasing.  On the birthday you got up with a broad smile.  Very happy,  want you to be like this always. Did not cook much today.  I was mostly busy with the decoration.  I got a very different table setting for you.  See the picture below Daddy tried very hard to get the music system setup but it failed.  We had not used it for a long time.  So had to comprimise to Karan's speakers and songs on his mobile phone.  Dad had got a collection of songs specially for your birthday. I displayed all the toffess, lollypops, chocolates on the table that was specially designed for your birthday.  I knew I had to do something different and it turned out very nicely. The hairband you see in the photo was also handmade.  The flower was a part of your dress. Aditya Ranjan was the first to come in.  The party had some games.  All the children enjoyed.  Everybody won a prize in some or the other event.  Friends
