The Little Chef

Dear Eshvarhen,

You're a great help in the kitchen. It's a delight when I want to fry something to have you quickly line the plate for me with kitchen paper or to pour tomato sauce and make ready to have fries and sausages.

I hear it delights your Mina Patti even more when you help her to make candy or to prepare ALL the utensils for her to make "thothatchi".

Perhaps you could become a chef when you grow up..........

Mandarin Class

Dear Eshvarhen,

It was great fun having you with me at the Mandarin tuition ( we'll be going for the next whole month because it's school holidays).

The best part about the class, and I think you WILL agree, is the end of it when Teacher Ting gives us both sweets.

The problem is, we needed to eat it before going home or we would have a fight with Bagyashri.

No worries, Thambi, I think we can swallow the sweets next time in the car, VERY quickly.

Your partner,
Annai

Edu Ezhuthu

Dear All,

I wrote on rice today, and afterwards, the priest wrote the character "Aum" on my tongue. It's supposed to signify that I will be begining my formal education soon.

Hmmmmm......now I wonder what "formal education" means. Must remember to ask Amma later.

Anyway, Annai and I managed to take a shot of ourselves, and then Annai took a picture of the tray that we gave to the priest as "Guru Thatchanai".

*sigh* ......it's easy to eaves drop and pick up these long grown-up words, but sometimes these long words give me a headache.

I think I will just stick to screaming "PatiKaya" and "Vettaikaan" at randomly and suddenly for now....

The little teacher( no need to be)

Dear Eshvarhen,

You are not Bagyashri's teacher. When she goes to school, the teacher will teach her to read APPLE and CAT.

YOU just mind your own work and try to do the matching that Amma asks you to do (with the new colour pencils that you got from Attai)

Love,
Annai

Eshvarhen is 3!

Dear All,

I am three years old today. I am 95 cm and 12.5kg. I have grown to be handsome (if I may say so myself) and I can speak pretty good English=)

Three is a good number for me because my destiny number is also 3. 3 is the number of Boboi boys that appear from 1 Boboi boy. so 3 is a good number.....

I had a Boboi cake that was just YUMMY and tasty.......

Amma and Appa were not with me on this birthday =( because Amma was in China and Appa was in Kuala Lipis. HOWEVER, my Annai and Bagyashri were with me and it was blast! Attai gave me a new scholl bag (Cars) and a new set of Cars colour pencils. Appa bought me an arange bicycle-cum-bike. *sighs* as usual Bagyashri is fighting with em to ride it......

It was good birthday. We also went to the temple because it was Vinayagar's birthday on that day. I told you my birthday date is magic......

Eshvarhen goes to the Cinema!

Dear All,

Amma and Appa took me to the cinema for the first time today. We ate a new food called pop- corn, and we watched a movie “ the Dinosaur Project”. It wasn’t really an animation, but it had enough dinosaurs in it to keep me interested.

Amma said Annai slept through the movue because he did not have his afternoon nap.

After watching the movie, Appa treated us to TGIF and the waiter had so many Angry Bird badges on his apron, I couldn’t help exclaiming it out loud to the amusement of the waiter.

Thanks Amma and Appa. I really enjoyed the movie!

Eshvarhen flies on an aeroplane!

Dear Bagyashri,

I (Cinnanai) flew on an aeroplane today. We have come to Singapore to celebrate Annai’s 5^th birthday. We left really early and you were sleeping, so maybe you didn’t realise and are wondering where we’ve all gone to.

We’re staying at a hotel and it has a big tub in which we had a hot swim just now. We went to the zoo today and saw a lot of animals. We had a slow boat ride and then we also visited Singapore tata, but me being sleepy and all, I just slept through that visit.

We’re going out for dinner now. Annai wants you to know thet we both miss you very much.

Bigs hugs,

Cinnanai (and Annai, although I,Cinannai, wrote this to you)

Happy Birthday, Bagyashri!

Dear Bagyashri,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Can't wait to unwrap your presents so we can have more toys! yippee!

My Little Sweetheart

Dearest Small boy,

You’re talking in full sentences now. You are Amma sayang, and you’re a extremely loving child. I look forward to your morning hugs every morning and I just love the way to say “good morning, Amma”.

Of course you have your moody moments and you’re very short tempered, but again you have a big heart and you will slowly come to me and tell me that, “Oh, I am very sorry, Amma.”

I’ve tried to make you write something, but I think you attention span is much shorter than your Annai’s. Anyway, there’s no rush, your school will teach you all there is soon.

It’s so hard to get you to say bye bye to me as I leave for work since you’re so engrossed in your tv. Always remember that you make me beg every morning for your hug before I go off to work…

Love you, Easy Peasy,

Amma

Vellai Thorai

Dearest Pandai,

You’ve picked up quite  a few English words, havent’ you, son? You seem to know exactly when to use the words Oh dear, careful, wait for me guys, let’s go guys…..

No wonder you Attai has nicknamed you “Vellai Thorai”

Keep watching those cartoons, son.

Hugs,

Appa

Cartoon Mania

Hi all,

Just clocking in a few words here.

WHY WONT EVERYONE JUST LEAVE ME TO WATCH MY CARTOONS IN PEACE?

Instead of calling me ten times and expecting me to answer you. Yes, I can hear you, I am just hearing selectively.

Eshvarhen talking

Hi everyone,

It's been long, I know. But I just learned to talk in full sentences, and I have a tough job impressing everyone with my vocabulary.

I'm 89 cm tall today, I think it's a pretty good achievement myself.

Bagyashri's begining to crawl now, so it's harder for Annai and I to play with our toys without disturbances. Bagyshri eats EVERYTHING, including the carpet. Hmmm....I wonder how Amma would react if she saw ME licking the back of the carpet. I DON'T think she will be amused.

So how's everyone doing? Pororo coming in anyone's dream? I JUST love PORORO!!!!!!

Gotta go watch Pororo.....see you my good friends.

Hugs,
ESHVARHEN

Annai's stomach ache

Hi Annai,

Amma said you are having blood in your "kaka".  Don't worry, just eat all the medicine the doctor gave you.

Appa said you're very tall...how much taller is 108cm compared to 87cm? What's "cm"? (heard Appa say it so I thought I'd write it down....sounds impressive).

Okay Annai, go and sleep. Everything will be better tomorrow..


(pulling ears violently).....I am sleepy too......ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Hugs,
Thambi
