December Beach Babes

Appa took us on a special holiday this year to commemorate Eshvarhen turning 5!

We took a flight to Krabi (Bagyashri's first experience on the plane ever!) and we had a blast under the sun for 4 whole days.

The funniest moments? Eshvarhen dancing coz he thought the crabs were going to bite him while we waited for the boat to take us island hopping.

Coolest moment? The Elephant Ride=)

Tokoh Nilam

Congratulations on becoming the Tokoh Nilam, son.

I can see you have really developed a passion for reading.......except that your tendency to read books on reptiles and dinosaurs is a little unsettling.....sigh....must be the genetics

CAROM!

Dearest Thambi,

Let's play carom!

Growing Beans like Jack and the Beanstalk

Dear Bumi Matha,

Today we did a science experiment and grew beans stalks out of red beans. It was great fun to wet the cotton and then place the beans on them.

It will take a week for it to sprout Amma said, so we will just wait and see.......!

Happy 7th Sakkti Velan

Dearest Sakkti Velan,



Happy  Birthday, Angry Bird! It was a great day at the Zoo too!

A 'Satti' Head Injury

Hi Satti Small Tiger,

It's really an irony to hear about how your head was hit by your classmate.

Sometimes children don't realize the extend of their games.....just like how Timall and Puppykus back home don't realize the danger of their games when they slide down head first from the barber shop chairs at home.

Well, it's a superficial injury, and I guess it'll keep the kids in check for a while.

Remember son, when the games get rough at school, the really tough gentleman moves away from the scene.

Always proud of you anyway.

Hugs,
Big Lion

Sparring....again

Dear Bumi Matha,

Went for the sparring competition again this year!

Won round one, lost round two....and withdrew!

Wheeww.....=( got a mighty scolding from Amma and Appa for pulling that stunt!

Batik and Wau

Annai made them both ( well about 50% anyway)...and Cinnanai and I help him to paint the Batik.

It has fish in inside.
