A lot of updates, two new schools!

I just got back from an almost 2-month long trip to India. This time I went to school there! My schools name was CAD, and I had a driver uncle who would come pick me up from dadi-dada's place and take me to school and drop me back. I cried the first few days and asked for mommy to go with me but after a few days the driver uncle sad mommy wasnt allowd and I quickly adapted to that change. I learnt Jana Gana Mana at CAD. I love to stand up and sing it all day long. We had a monsoon mela in school where we had a buttawala making fresh roasted corn, our teachers helped us make paper boats, we did some fishing with a toy fishing pole, our teachers had set up charts showing the rain cycle and the best part of it was - animals! There were some rain animals- frog, earthworm, turtle, crab and we got to touch most of them. I have also been speaking a lot of Hindi ever since.

I also joined dance class in school and I learnt some great dance moves on "I hate love stories" and "Oh Girl- you're mine" from Housefull. I loves going to my dance class. As Ganpati was round the corner towards my last few days in Mumbai we went to Lalbaug to check some of the Ganpatis getting ready for the season. I saw some great Ganpatis - on peacocks, elephants and I liked the mouse that goes with each idol.

I celebrated my first Raksha bandhan with Anaya and she was the center of attraction with 3 brothers.

Now that I am back in USA, I started at my new big school. Mommy or papa drop me everyday and this is a really huge school with so many kids, and I have adapted quickly to this new school. I am usually so excited to go to school it doesnt bother me to say bye to mommy or papa.
