Not a Kindergartner anymore!!!

Well, Sahithi's Kindergarten lasted all of three days. School started on Wednesday and on Friday I got a call from her teacher Mrs.B, saying that she is recommending a move to Grade one. Her words were " Sahithi seems like a very mature kid for her age. Academically she seems to be ahead of her peers and think, she is ready for first grade". It was really very nice to hear a such nice words about my little baby from a new teacher. So I am officially a first grader's mom now. It means longer school hours, more responsibility, more homework and projects and more attention academically. First Grade, here we come all charged up now.

First Day of Kindergarten, In her own words..

Today was the first day of Kinder garten and below is how Sahithi described her day and I quote her verbatim, not one word changed.


First we played outside. Then we stood for pledge, a song came and then first bell for us to go to the bathroom and drink water, second bell for us to freeze, third bell for us to lineup to go inside. And then when we went inside, we hanged our backpacks on the hook outside. There was story about Bono, the monkey. And then we went out side and ate snack on the benches with first graders. For a little while Mrs.Burt told a story, read a book about a story and then I forgot the other one. Then Mrs.Burt called the names to go the desks and then we colored a bee and we wrote ourselves on a piece of paper about our feelings "I feel fun", "what's your friend's name?". I draw on the paper and then we went out to eat lunch. If you are done, you raise your hand and sit next to the wall for a little while. Then you go out and play.I forgot something. First bell is for lining up, second bell to freeze and third to go to the bathroom. We lay down on the table for a little while. We sat on the carpet and Mrs.Burt told another story. She took us outside and then I saw Archana Aunty. Mrs.Burt said everyone was doing very good work. She said I read well. And then I saw momy. I Archana aunty's house we played with Tia and then we colored. And we read books and even Tia read books and then we wrote our sentences and then Shriya went home. We ate apples, sandwiches, garlic bread and drank juice. And then momy came and picked me up. We saw kids outside playing and we went to the pool and I played. At school, there was friend named Ellie and I played with her. I took a bath myself and dressed all by myself. I went to S aunty's house and ate dinner there. That's all. And write the end and a happy face with a heart. :).

Another Decade gone....

I am into my last 2 hours of my twenties.
The most important years of my life, the years that shaped me who I am today are gone.
Lot of thinking happening in my head. Lot of muddles thoughts. will need to sort them out. Soon.

Why..Oh Why.....

Why does everything have to be so difficult...
Why do I have to struggle for every thing..
Why does not anything go according to plan..
Why does God dispose everything that I propose..

Why?? Someone tell me WHY??

Riddle-me-Ree, Who can she be?

Greetings wonderful MTBs!!!
and good work to all of you!
For having solved the riddle before
I give you all this clue.
This time its not a letter
nor is it a number clue
This time its just a good old blank
which means no clue for you!
Booooo! you say with spirit..
Yaaay! we say in throng!
For it is part of the thrill of the chase
which leads to the next little song!

“Not daunted by Adam's ribs, she
Speaks her own mind loud and clear;
Mother of a blogger and one herself
She makes a mean fish kalia.”


Solve it and you get your lead
Misguess, and you lose your speed
Solve it slow but solve it now
And before you go, take a little bow
Go to 'Comments' and leave me a clue
Tell me which blog you are off to.
Good luck! Good luck! Be on your way.
You have your work, cut out for the day!

Sahithi's Latest

Well, long time since I posted anything about Sahithi.
This happened a few weeks ago.

After me telling her repeatedly not to do something, she kept doing it.
I snapped and yelled at her saying something about how she is doing it even though she is not supposed to.
She was startled because I had not yelled her in quite a while. Her face crumpled and she went and sat a corner quietly.
I heard her cry after a few minutes and deliberately did not pay attention to her.
Few more minutes later I heard her say

" I have never seen a Momy yell like this. I don't think mommies should be yelling at little girls. All mommies should always be friendly"

And before I could take in those words she dissolved into tears and said

" My whole family made me sad. My whole family is my momy and dada and they made me sad".

I was quite startled. Gave her a few minutes, gave her a hug and told her I love you kannamma. And she replies back

" I know you love me but you made me sad".

My little baby is growing up *sigh*
