chooooooll
I am becoming a big girl now.... so big that ammA and I are going to the same school together! Here is a peep into my activities at school....
I enter the class and I have to find my spot in front of an easel and hold on to it inspite of other kids. I spend about 20 minutes creating my art.
Then it is time to play in and with sand. I am getting introduced to grabbing and running away with shovels and a dumptruck while playing. It's getting hard for me to play with the things I have after knowing that the kid near me has the same toy in a different color. Oh! little does ammA know how hard it is to cope with this !
I have to tell you about this funny pracitice during circle time - we are given bells and flags that we have to return. I am pretty much the only kid who protests on behalf of everyone. Surprisingly no one has joined me and the other kids give back these things voluntarily. If you have to get it from me, you are not getting it without a fight!
I love snack time. We are given crackers, fruit and water in a small cup. I enjoy drinking water from the cup and eating crackers of the kid who sits next to me. ammA keeps saying that I have the same on my plate. If that is so, why can't I have the crackers from the other kid's plate? I don't understand the logic!
Overall I enjoy my time at school. It's a lot of fun interacting with kids and doing so many activities. What is my ammA doing at school apart from following me everywhere I go? I have to attend child-teacher-association meeting to know if she is doing OK at school :)

mun thoo fai thee foe
Counting is super fun. I say numbers in the order I wish. It is exciting that way as you can keep people guessing about the number you are going to say next. I have been putting up a fight to save my creativity from my parents who are trying to initiate me into their cult of saying numbers in a particular order all the time.
Did you know that saying numbers before you jump is good for you as it helps in smooth landing? :) This is how I play this game. thee, fai, mun, thoo and get down carefully from the chair or couch :) yeah, this is how I jump!
mun thoo fai is all you need to count. Why bother learning more? I can count all the pieces of my Lego block set using mun thoo fai. I have lost a lot of pieces while playing but my ammA does not know! You want to know how? Simple, I count the blocks while putting it back into the box after I have played. There are only fai blocks every time I count! ammA will never know about the missing pieces though I have not planned for the day when there will be less than fai pieces...

Communication is the key
Everyday after I take a bath amma says "umAchi sevvi Govinda" and I go near "mAchi" and standing I touch my feet with my head (it's fun)
Amma gives "bicchi" (raisins) after I do "Govinda"
This is easy. I do one of my fun poses and I get sweet "bicchi"
Whenever I feel like it I go near mAchi and touch my feet with my head and demand "bicchi". Well, this technique has been working till now. touch wood.....
One day I was happily munching my well earned "bicchi" while tearing up a book. My amma saw this and started forcing me to open my mouth and spit what I was munching thinking that I was eating paper. I forced myself out of her clutches and had to tell her that I was eating "bicchi" she gave me. I showed her how I do "govinda" in front of "mAchi" and pointed at my mouth and said "bicchi"
She understood! She hugged and kissed me :)
Communication communication communication.. that's the key :)

My diary notes
There is so much happening around me but I am trying to keep pace. I enjoyed this navarathri visiting many "mAchi" (golu umAchi)and also showing people who came home our mAchi. My parents do not allow "pAkkabA" into "mAchi" room unless someone comes visiting. Oh, I did not tell you about "pAkkabA". Now I have realized that the mirror does not show a pApA when I look into it. It is actually "pAkkabA" :)I am so excited!
Things are different during navarathri. I usually say "bye" repeatedly (to the embarrassment of my parents till the person goes out of our house:) when I see people take their keys or bag or put on their shoes/sandals. But now, when amma gives a goody bag (vetrilai pAkku) to someone or when we receive one, it's time to say "bye". I am happy that I figured this out. One more cue to start saying "bye"
Speaking of goody bags, I wonder why people drop one pAlu (pazham-fruit) and two yellow ballooo (manjal)in it. I have explored many of them but am yet to understand why pAlu and balloo together???
