since you started school.- Sanja. So I see that we have settled down pretty well to the routine. Morning - appa and amma walk with you to the bus stop, bid goodbyes . You go all chirpy and happy looking forward for another day of fun and play. Come back home with grandparents, eat and sleep. - You are trying out different kinds of food at school. -Learnt to eat a bit by yourself, and I must say you are a really slow eater - in tamil we say paraku pathundu sappidhara . -Though your only activity is playing,  you have picked up quite a few tamil rhymes from your seniors at class . - You say few shlokas . -Every day you smile at ll the kids who get into your bus, but you dont talk to them. It your way of greeting them Good Morning. -You have o, means have to carry something with you from home to bus stop, then you handover them as soon as u see the bus. -The days we reach the stop early, you go about running in the street to see your yellow house and sometimes to the temple.

Sanja as usal was playing around and avoiding her dinner. I was running behind her and feeding her when she declared she will eat only if grandmother will feed her. So we told her , if you want granny to feed you, you stay inside the house. This she wouldn't agree. So Amma got fed up and placed her plate on the table and left. Sanja slowly creeps into the house , takes her plate , goes out, sits on the stairs, declares - Papa ve sapidhaporen ( I will eat on my own). So there was Amma sitting and gushing with pride as the little one ate her curd rice all by herself. She ate them by playing around making balls out them and eating them. So Sanja has learnt to eat on her own without much spiling around. Hurray.  So when I sit to eat, Sanja sits on my lap and says - Papa will feed amma now  and goes on to feed me the chapatis mixing up the side dishes . :) And here is another Sanja ism we heard at night whe nshe ate her fruits - mango. For a person who doesnt like the skin of any...

On Monday, Sanja household  got up early bright and shiny. The little princess starts her school. Two sets of grandparents , her mother, father, chitappa accompanied her to school. While she went of to her Environment ( class ) , the elderly went to school temple and then sat in shade eating the chakara pongal and sipping the tea. Amma went to get the kiddo at 11:45 am and all of us were back home at 12:15pm. Amma / appa/ etc..etc: So Sanja what did u do today, what play things are there ? Sanja: Oh there are the building blocks , kitchen set, beads , koozhal kalu(a smooth polished stone).. I played with building blocks and kitchen set. Another uncle asks: So what did they give you to eat Sanja Sanja - Chappathi (This she made it up .. she wasnt given anything to eat at school. So amma appa are wondering if the above said koozhal kalu is also made up as we havent shown her that kind of stones.) The next day Sanja with amma and appa goes to school. Jumps out of the school b...
