Hello everyone !
Sorry, I am 2 weeks late in sending my progress update, but I am here now. I am two and a half years old now. Growing up is so much fun - I am learning new things everyday.
* As I am growing up, I am being more independent day by day. I insist on doing lot of things myself and that sometimes annoys my parents - but hey - I gotta learn too. Wouldn't you agree ? Things that I can do well lot of times (ofcourse, it depends on my mood too !) include eating breakfast, fetching water from the outlet on the refrigerator, putting on or taking off shoes and flip-flops, taking off clothes, washing my hands and face after each meal, etc.
* I have recently become very fond of crayons and coloring. If you give me simple drawings, I can color them well - almost within the boundaries. I am also learning to ride my tricycle. I can paddle and steer on my own for most part. Now, I am looking forward to get the big girl's bike.
* Although, I primarily communicate in Gujarati, my English vocabulary is increasing. I am beginning to form small sentences - sometime only with nouns :). If I have to complain about something, I only speak English and so sometimes people don't understand me properly :(
* The most memorable event this quarter was the cruise to Alaska. It was a 10-day vacation with my parents and grand-parents. We also visited Seattle and Vancouver. I got a chance to ride a car, plane, boat, bus as well as train during this vacation. I got so attached to my mommy and daddy during these 10-days that now I want to be with them all the time. I insist that they take me to work with them and am giving them a hard time while going to the day-care :)
Summer is here and I am looking forward to lots of outdoor activities including swimming, bicycling, going to the park and even camping.

Love,
Kavya.

My imagination at work
Here are some of the events that made my parents notice my imaginative skills:
1. I have seen lot of bikers on the road - each riding a fancy motor cycle. Last week, my parents were taking me for a stroll in the stroller. Since I didn't have anything else to do while riding in the stroller, I started playing with the shade of the stroller. I discovered that I could bring it all the way in the front and as soon as I did that, I shouted to my dad "Daddy, Look ! I am a biker".
2. I have seen my parents working on their laptops many times. I have myself had the pleasure of thumping on the keyboard. So, I know what a laptop computer looks like. On couple of different incidents, when I had two square/rectangular flat objects like 2 books or 2 square stickers, I would put them together such that one is perpendicular to the other at its edge and shout "Look, I made a computer"
3. Lately, I have become very fond of the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears (Papa bear, Mamma bear and Baby bear). In the story, the biggest bowl, the biggest chair and the biggest bed - all belongs to the Papa bear. The medium sized things belong to the Mamma bear and the Baby bear has the smallest bowl, chair and bed. I have now heard that story so many times, that I have come to associate big size with the word "papa". The other day, I noticed that one of my mommy's socks had a big hole in it. So, I cried out "Mommy, there is a papa hole in your socks" :)
4. Two days back, I went to a friend's place to play with him. He had a nice plastic golf stick. As I was playing with it, I put it upside down and suddenly, it occurred to me that it resembled a light post. So, I called my dad and said "Daddy, look its a light".

Caring for the crayons
Recently, I have become very fond of crayons and coloring. However, whenever I get a new crayon, the first thing I do is to remove its wrapper. Earlier today, when I was removing the wrapper of one of my crayons, my daddy asked me why did I do that. My prompt response was that because the crayon is feeling hot (karan ke crayon ne garmi laage che). My mom and dad were both very surprised with such an instant and thoughtful answer :)
