an avid reader

Surprises me by the sheer amount of energy he has. Nah-not for homework but for everything else that keeps him from sleeping. He has been a quick reader -now 5 years 6 months old and already reading encyclopedias and all kinds of story books...that sure has come from papa and dadaji.

boys have more energy

This sunday was trek time and then medidation at hayama beach. It was a group of 25 ,with around 15 Japanese people. Great food play,music at the moutain top and then a round of yoga and meditation at the beach. Pretty interesting group, and the yasai dake (veggie food) even more interesting. As expected-salad,fruits,veggie onigiri, but all tasted different from the veggie food we eat out at Japanese restaraunts. Overall a great trip.

Highlights of the trip-naina and manu were having a great time together.Then came the time to help the elders carry stuff up the hill. Naina and manu decided to carry the djembe. Then manu started boasting boys have more energy."Well then carry it all by yourself said our smart little naina and our ego hurted manu ji carried it all the way" Good training naina-our buddhu ji is sure a girls man:-)

mama devotion!!!

10 am saturday morning -the friday ritual of a late night movie keeps manu sleeping late into sat morning.

As I stepped out of the bathroom I was taken aback-my little one was sitting in front of the bathroom patiently waiting for me to finish my bath and come out to hug him. I was almost in tears, he knows I get irritated if he bangs the door, so he sat there without a sound...
