Yesterday Rishi got his eye glasses. His first words? “Wow! Everything is so 3D!”

He was very excited about all the things he could see clearly, blades of grass, the pattern of the wood flooring.. he read out loud every license plate we came across on the drive home.

Arya noticed the Brass Rat on my hand and remarked that she hadn’t seen me wearing it before. When I explained that I’m wearing it since I just started my new job, she looked shocked and smilingly exclaimed, “You’re bragging, mama!”

I couldn’t stop laughing for a while!

A natural at marketing…

Rishi got his cello this Saturday and can’t wait for his first cello lesson! Here’s Rishi trying out how the cello looks on him with and without the jacket.

Usually you’d never hear those words together but here’s how it went:
Rishi: Is this for sucking out buggers?
Arya: Nooo, no, no, definitely not for that.
Perhaps there logic is that when you’re little you use snot suckers and when you grow bigger you use a baster? Well I’ll certainly never look at this kitchen device in the same way again!

Radhika: tomorrow is supposed to be partially cloudy
Rishi: partly cloudy? Because I don’t think “partially” is a word
Arya: yes it is
Rishi: oh yeah! I remember, it’s a plant 
While I was still scratching my head, Arya replied without missing a beat, “No that’s parsley, partially means…”

Was sooo cute!! 🙂

Arya and Rishi along with their teacher, Mia, after their performance. Rishi sang Va Pensiero and Arya sang Quiet from Matilda. They had worked so hard at it and were amazing!!!!

Our first time at the opera! Arya and Rishi loved it! Yes, for the whole 3 hours!!

We were walking in Rome late at night and saw a poodle looking out at us from a salon that was closed. We were all saying “awww”at this sight and wondering why this poodle was locked in the store when Rishi hypothesized, “Maybe it’s a wild poodle!”

AWWWWW!! I think this wild poodle concept is going to stick for a while.
