Touch a truck

Was just asking Aarav if he wanted to for touch a trick event . His response , " is Arjun going to be there ? He should go. He loves trucks " 😂 🙈

Happy janmashtami

You know the kids are super hungry when the little one starts staring at all the waiters in the restaurants and chanting louder and louder, " come over here, come over here, come over here ... " 😂😂😂

Rakhi still

Aarav is so excited to give sharvi her presents. He just came to make her a card too. It's so sweet that they are close so far. Well, they are the closest siblings I have seen, touchwood. They are kids afterall. Time can change things. Though I hope not. 

Aarav has been a little out of it lately. A little strong rebellion here and there. Might be we have been a bit over booked lately. What with tae kwan do, swimming, tee ball, dance for FOI and what not.

Plus the outings, and me getting the social media thing at COPI. Don't know how that will end up. Hoping for a good experience. 

They are so cute. Aarav is so good at negotiation and persistence. Sharvi so loving to all, and dainty. They cry too often but we are workign on that . 

It's tough being the little ones. Sometimes we expect too much. Sharvi was a trooper at potty training though we are yet having accidents but doing good so on the whole. She's very strong and resilient. 

They both are so very smart in their own ways. Aarav with his perception and she with how she picks things up. They both learn things so quickly and surprisingly from unknown sources ... 

I took them to the market yesterday. After aarav's dentist and story time at the library. Aarav was so good at the dentist , I was suprised. I'm so strong other wise but the thought of him in pain or uncomfortable makes me wince with the same and get tears in my eyes. They both had a blast at the library. Aarav picked up his first book the day before a Chima ninjago comic book and surfs the pages looking at the pictures. It's adorable. 

She bosses him around so much. Copies me saying chup bilkul chup, sings jungle jungle baat chali hai , beat pe booty and all the poems anywhere she can ..

She copies bhiyas,  " What " and " Whats that " so often ... n picks up his phrases and cues so quick ... 

She will follow him anywhere .. Can't stay alone though ... Aarav was better that way .. but she can't stay in a sroom by herself with all the oys in the world. She HAS to be entertained. 

I'm so excited for peppar pig toy coz she loves all thsoe things, peppa pig, swings and slides.. Aarav tried to tell her in the morning that she had a surprise coming but she didn't et it luckily .. I think he was trying to manipulate me into giving the toys to her earlier .. HE was pretty good with the surprise so far ... 

We went swimming at the cobblestone park and it was awesome ... Have to go again .. He's asking already and she wants to go swimming every day ... LOVES bath .. He loves she hates.

She eats, he has to be cajoled.

She bathes, wants to , he runs away .

She wants to brush, he doesnt. 

She wants to dress up . He couldn't care less ... 

Hahaha. Salt and pepper indeed. Love them to bits.

Rakhi Day

Rakhi morning.

Aarav wishes Sharvi and hugs her which as always she returns.

Me : Sharvi say, " Happy Rakhi, bhaiya. "

" Happy Rakhi Bhaiya. "

Me : Sharvi say, " You are an awesome bhaiya. "

" I awesome. "

Me : Sharvi say, " You are a great bhaiya. "

" I great. "

I try again : Sharvi say, " I am princess. "

" I princess."

Me : Say, " Bhaiya awesome. "

" I awesome princess. "

And we all laugh and laugh and laugh as it goes ...

Best mom

"you are the best mom. ", says Aarav.

I laugh, happily and say, "why do you say that ?"(Ofcourse fishing for some compliment 😜)

" Every mom is the best mom and you are a mom so you are the best !! " ( awwww ... )

So all moms, please know you ARE the best !! 😘💪👌
