Now to the next adventure

Well.. there really isn't any adventure in sight, except our upcoming vacation to the Caribbean. Actually, the next big thing is probably Priya's birthday party. For the last six months (literally), she has been talking about the cake she wants on her birthday party. Layered pink cake, with sprinkles. She saw it on one of the episodes of Max and Ruby and now that's the one she wants. By the way, Backyardigans is so a thing of the past. Now it's nothing but Max and Ruby. Though she has started taking interest in some older programming like Little Bill or even the Doodlebops. The latter I find to be strange, but maybe not as strange as Yo Gabba Gabba.

I got back last Friday from a week in Germany. This has to be my best trip yet when it comes to dealing with jet lag. I wanted to try out a method that I had heard about - no eating junk food, and no caffeine. I stuck to both of them, and I has adjusted both there and back within a day and a half. That's pretty amazing. I remember one of my trips when I slept 2 and 4 hours respectively on the first and second nights. Talk about ugh.

In my absence, everyone home fell sick. Armaan even had a fever of a 103 for a few days. He still has a slight cough, but is none the worse for wear. He really is an amazing little boy. For the last 45 minutes he has been sitting next to me playing with his toys without making any fuss. My latest worry for him is that he isn't mobile enough. He shows no interest in wanting to get from point A to point B. Well.. with Priya I thought she would never walk, so history tells me that these things do take place eventually. Still, it's easy to compare him with Priya, and other kids his age. But for sure, there's no trading him in for anyone else! There's a depth to his sweetness that goes beyond being merely baby sweet.
