Toddler Talk :: But I don't...

The other day I was sharing moral stories with Liya. Story was about the importance of helping everyone in need and the beauty of sharing. She was curiously listening to the story.

I asked her:  "How is this story, did you like it?"
She replied : "Yeah, I liked it".

Bucket List :: Jan Updates

Welcome to 'Bucket List' updates with our lovely Rainbow. So, what are we gonna strike today?

17. Identify all colors

Yes, finally the confusions are over. Liya is no more confused at which is blue and black or brown and orange. Yay, we learned to perfectly identify all colors. Liya's favorite colors are purple and pink (yah, we're perfectly girlish!)

Book of the Week :: It's Library Day

 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
 Theme of the week ~ Books
Our pick ~ It's Library Day
Author ~ Janet Morgan Stoeke
 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------

Jennifer loves to read stories, Flores loves to read scary stories, Uma has just started reading. All of them smile when they hear 'something'. All of them likes 'something' which little Liya is equally passionate about. That's GOING TO LIBRARY.
This book is about kids' day in library. Liya loved it as as much as she loves to visit library. She learned what can she do in the library, why does Ms Faye find books easily, how should behave in the library etc.

Things Liya loved in India

Chicks, Kittens, Ducks and Doggie...
...made her really happy. She was so glad to run behind live chicks, kittens, doggies, ducks. She was running behind a big hen of my neighbor and I asked what's she doing. Do you know what she replied?? "Momma this is chicken, we can eat it!"

Updates - 27 Months

I am here to give you a quick review of last month. Days are passing by and honestly I began wishing if her 'toddler age' goes a little longer.. :P. Sadly, time and tide wait for none.

English Skills:

MashaAllah, she is mastering English much faster and can now talk as good as she speaks Malayalam. Over last month,

Video of The Week :: The Little Teacher

Things Liya loved in India :: 2) Visiting Relatives

Yes, I said it, Liya loved to visit our relatives. This is something I personally find extremely exhausting part of every vacation. Well, I love visiting relatives, friends; grab a cup of tea and have some silly chit chats... That sounds exciting, but every time we keep running from one house to another, spend few minutes and get back home extremely tired...and the vacation just goes on like that till the last day. By then, we would have dropped a lot of things we wanted to do... but after all I love the warmth, ties and bonds of relationships we especially get in Kerala.

Toddler Talk :: One uncle, two uncles...

At Calicut airport, Air India Flight to Delhi. 


We had just boarded the flight. Little Liya, very thrilled and counting people boarding behind us....

She uttered 'Momma look... one uncle, two uncles'..., then?

Wordless Wednesday :: Little Traveler...

...killing time at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi on our way back to US after vacation.

She was badly waiting to get one for her...

[Dec Updates] Before 3 we'll

First of all, sorry for pushing December updates to January. I am not finding anymore reasons - I am dare enough to admit that I have been lazy. :)

As you know we're on a 2012 project with Rainbow. So what are we gonna strike today?

We played in the first snow of the season!

(but we're yet to make a snow man...)

Reflections 2011

For a Muslim(a), the word 'New Year' doesn't make any banging difference or it's not 'something special' to celebrate. From my personal perspective,  it's merely a change of date!
But, I have to agree that it's always good to have a trace back  through the ways traveled by. This helps being Thankful to Almighty, encourages to rectify our downfalls and extract the fragrance of lessons learned... and hence I am joining my lovely friends Salma and Marie, with my REFLECTIONS of the fallen year.
