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....

Eshvarhen’s Kolukattai ceremony

Note from Amma: Eshvarhen didn’t need to be told as he picked not one but two kolukattai and stuffed it into his mouth. Well done, son. May you have teeth as tough as the kolukattai. As of today, you have five teeth, two at the bottom, and three on the top. And you top two front teeth are HUGE=)

Food Feeding Ceremony

Today was my food feeding ceremony. I was sleepy and very hot throughout the entire ceremony, and I was crying the roof down the temple.

But Appa quickly fed me the sweet ponggal with his ring, and Amma took me to the car where she fed me and put me to sleep.

Amma said tomorrow I will be eating Nestum. Sounds like fun after all these days of milk.....but what delicious, yummy milk.....yummy, yummy milk....I love milk. ...ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

On the 30th day of my life

Hello everyone,

This is Eshvarhen, and I'm continuing the blog that Appa had started off for me.

Thank you, Appa, for the welcome, but like it or not....this baby is here to stay...yeah!

Well, we celebrated my 30th day on the 18th of October. After the prayers, there was a huge Deepavali celebration in my house.

The next morning, on the 19th of October, I had my baby hair shaved by a barber. Sam Mama held me while I cried and cried as the barber shaved all my hair off to reveal a clean round scalp.

Amma said that Annai was quite disturbed by the fact that I had to have all my hair shaved off, and he was afraid that his hair would have to be shaved next.

Don't worry, Annai, it's a one time thingy for babies. you had yours removed too on your 31st day. I know because Amma told me so.
