All About Me - Priya

This was on her desk when I went for back-to-school night back at the end of August. After drawing a self portrait, she completed some sentences about herself. I have italicized her words.



My favorite food is doughnuts.
When I am an adult I am going to have six dogs.
Someday I will go to Alaska.
My wish for the world to be cleaner.
I'm happiest when I see animals.
I would do anything for a puppy husky and a horse.

A Little Something About Priya

It feels like the blog has been a little dominated by Sanjay lately, so I'm slipping this little piece in about Priya.

She has been in a music program for the past couple of years and she's starting to play some really nice pieces. Last weekend we enjoyed a concert of this song on repeat while she practiced for the upcoming week. It sounds really nice on "strings" so we had her switch the mode and recorded it to share with everyone. Enjoy!

Kindergarten Curriculum

Meant to post these after the first 2 weeks of school, when he brought them home but I'm quite the procrastinator.

As I haven't been able to volunteer much in the classroom thus far, I can't comment on the reading or math concepts that he's learning, but if held hostage and a monster drawing is all that's required for his release, I guarantee you he'll make it out alive. These lovely drawings came home in his backpack within days of each other. :)

First Round of Golf

Sanjay LOVES his golf clubs. After school he usually grabs his golf bag and from the backyard, hits whiffle style golf balls at the house while Priya is inside doing her homework and I'm cooking dinner. He especially loves to show off to anyone willing to watch. If I open the door to let Caboose out, he yells over to me... "Mom you wanna see me hit one? Just one ball", which sometimes turns into, "Now watch me hit the driver". It's fun to see him so passionate about it and he's got a pretty good swing as well.

Last weekend Daddy was planning to take him to his first Par 3 "real" golf course, but those plans were canceled when Sanjay was running a fever. So, today was the day that he got to play a real round of golf... not the mini-golf with the dinosaurs and fake lakes. This was the real deal and Sanjay insisted on renting a cart, too. Seems that with his handicap considered, Sanjay ended up winning the round. I'm not sure by how much, but he was very proud to tell me all about it when he walked in the door this evening.

From the outing, he has a souvenir ball and these awesome pictures that Daddy captured to remember the day.

Sweet Dreams

After a weekend without Daddy, Sanjay thoroughly enjoyed the bedtime stories tonight.

Foto Fun with Caboose

Been playing around with some new software this morning while I wait for the gray-to-be-gone from the top of my head. What do you think?
