Hmmm

They both have taken one phone each and are pretend talking to you .
arav is actually having a conversation saying dad daaaad listen , oka the party is blah blah and then we will blah blah

As I was pulling out he was saying I'm already missing dad... My family is broke 😍😘😂😟

Aarav

The ohter day, aarav holds my face in his palms and says , " Mom we will ask dad .. If he says okay I will take u to kuwait , if not then I will take care of you so that you don't miss your mom ... and guess what ? it's a secret but dad and sharvi will come wiht us too .. "

His fav friend in school these days in Noah .. Apparantly Coleman and ty aren not to be played with as they want him to be guard and he wants to be captain.

He gives me daily news of all things happening in school.

He has started eating many more vegetables and food.

He is very adamant about dressing up ... Pretedcing with jackets and such asking often how he looks ... imagination runs wild all day long ..

Every little thing sets him off but it's getting better after we told him now that if he gets angry for the silliest thigns ,like clothes, or sticky hands we will throw his hotl wheels away ...

He loves EVERYONE equally ... He applies logic to everything ... Even when he calls me mean ... but understands when I show him all that I did for him all day long ...

He is a handful some moments and other moments a perfect gentleman and amazing support ...

He loved today as I cleaned up dad's closet and didn't once say to go to park when I said we are doing this for dad and said , " Job well done ! " with a magnificient high five after all is done ...

He loves Sharvi and takes good care of her , being very careful with her ... The perfect baby sitter :)

Sharvi 18 months

So two weeks past Sharvi finally started walking . She's grown ten fold in the past week itself.

She says, mooo, weooww, baaa, bow bow on the animals...

Asks everyone " Hellow , Howru " says, " Bye ."

If you say " Bhaiya kahan hai, " she proceeds to play peek a boo.

Does, " Uh uh " on wanting something and nods her head vehemently to say no ... Since two days she's even started screaming , " N N No .. "

She sings, " twinkle twinkle " , " A B C " , " Bingo " and many poems along with the tv ...

She climbs every possible space ...

She loves to eat by anyeone's hand but mine ...

She loves the lullaby , " Nanhi pari " just like me ... :)

She's nudges Aarav out of my lap with her butt when she sees him sitting on my lap.

She loves saying , " apple "  " Ball " " Chanhiye "

Her fav poem is " When you are happy and you know it .. She claps, stomps and screams hurray respectively ... giggling crazily after ..

She loves driving the car, saying bye as soon as we put her in ...

She will be content as long as I'm sitting but if I stand she wants me dancing around with her ...
 

Sibling Love

Shubham called from NY. Sharvi as usual scrambled for the phone. I didn't let her talk on the phone and she got really upset.

After that she would only eat dosa from Aarav's hand. I felt sad. Even Aarav felt shocked that she would eat from his hand and not my hand.

Then he comes to me and says, with his little hand on my shoulder, " Mama, we all love you. Sharvi is just angry right now. She loves you too. "

.........................................

Aarav lay down upside down the sofa, half off it. Then starts shouting, Sharvi come save me ... !!!! Sharvi waddles over to him, holding his tow hands in her own and pulls him down. As he slides down, she ooooohs , " Oh  oh " and then proceeds to kissing his head, his hands ... and trying to hold him :))
