Look What Mama Got!

Saw "mini orange" listed in my online grocery shop and I right away knew that kiddo would be excited and ordered for it. It only takes these small little things to take kiddo to a state of "Full happiness only"! :)

Out of retirement

Both me and my camera!!! My camera has remained untouched for a while now and I just felt like taking a few pictures today as I was seeing Adi off to school...

Off to school..

A song for my boy

Mark Knopfler - what can I say?? I just hope that someday my boy will be as mesmerized by his voice and songs as I have been for so many years. Until then, here's a song for my boy - yes, by dear Mark :)

PLAY

we did, last Sunday! Adi loves adventure sports and we try and get him to try different kind of sports whenever possible. Last Sunday, we were planning to go karting but then changed plan last minute and ended up at Play on Sarjapur Road. We've been here a few times during the last year and although the place is not fully open, there are lots of activities that are functional. Adi had tried archery, shooting, skateboarding, rock climbing during previous visits however was always disappointed that the dirt biking track was not ready. So we decided to check this time and much to the kids delight, it was very much operational and also had a kids track with a 50cc quad bike!!

No time was wasted in getting on the bike and checking the controls!



Happiness overload!

More happiness :)

Kid just had one word to say - awesome!! Followed by another try :)



Rock climbing - made it to the top with a lil "pull" by the attendent ;)



Skateboarding - ya, ya we are good at this too, just not enough practice time to become an expert!



Shooting - competing with Papa to hit the bulls eye



A very PLAYful day for the Brat!!

Hungry and time for cupcakes!

Adi and I were out yesterday and it was way past lunch time. Adi was having his usual tummy ache (due to motion sickness) and it was a little bad than usual (maybe the empty stomach added to the pain). We were in the Indiranagar area and I suddenly remembered about a new cupcake place having opened there. Thought that the cupcakes would distract him from the pain and also relieve his hunger. So we stopped by and Adi was suddenly excited and wanted to know all the flavors that we there. Asked him to choose 6 and no sir, 6 would not do for our little fellow - he wanted one of all the twelve!

So we bought 12, 4 of which were promptly gulped down in the car with expressions of delight and the rest were saved for Papa. Yes, he did give me one small bite of one of them!!

Back to School

Well, the holidays are coming to a close - almost - and it's time to start preps to get back to school. A new year, a new beginning. Summer holidays have been awesome - both for the brat and me. For the Brat because he has been super busy playing all the time - morn till night - with friends, without friends - and has gone to bed everyday feeling happy and super tired. Me because it wasn't as stressful, worrisome or hectic as I imagined it would be before the holidays began - in fact, the holidays have just flown by with me not having to do much at all to take care of the Brat or keep him busy.

The kid has been so active this holidays that I am beginning to worry how he will get back to school - sit in the same place for hours together and get himself to focus and listen to what is being taught. I can imagine him being in class and day dreaming away already - imagining himself hitting a six out of the school grounds!!!

So we slowly being prepping to get back to school - bought the uniforms yesterday and was secretly pleased that kid had outgrown the sizes he had worn last year. As usual, he had a great time trying out each and every piece of clothing and also filling the form himself with the size and quantity to be ordered.

You can see the fun he was having in the dressing room :)

Sushi love

Sushi - I've always wanted to try it but could never bring myself to eat it. Just the thought of raw fish in the sushi turns me off. I've had vegetarian sushi (used to be my everyday lunch at one time), chicken sushi and crab shushi (thanks to Adi who ordered for it) but never one with fish in it. But Adi - he loves it!!! And whenever its in the menu - he has to order for it!

I dont remember the first time that Adi tried Sushi. I do remember that he ordered for crab sushi during our trip to Penang. Am not sure if this was his first time - but he did know the word Sushi so maybe he had tried it while we were in UK. The next time was during our trip to Thailand where he had an entire plate of sushi and didn't want to share even a single one with me!! And then today he saw that it was on the menu at LikeThatOnly restaurant and promptly ordered for one ie. after he made me read out the different varieties of sushi available. And after each bite, he kept saying its awesome and even went upto the chef and told him that it was good and thanked him :)

Couple of pics from LikeThatOnly taken today..
