Finally...a haircut!

Well, we continue to get closer to the trip, 5 days to go.

I have been feeling that Abhi's hair is a little out of control, even though I love all those curls (which he did not get from me). So, after his bath last night, I wrestled him and carefully cut the back of his hair in to a nice, neat line. I must say it was not a bad effort seeing I was working with mister busy body. So, he got is first haircut and it looks pretty cute. He still has his curls but they look much more in control.

We have been shopping, getting all the necessities for the trip, but otherwise life as usual. Today, we meet Sandy and Sachin so the boys could play at the playground in the mall. I know it sounds ridiculous to go to a mall to play but they have a really nice play area with a soft floor. I really am not a mall fan but it is nice for the play area. I try to just dart out the door without looking and spending money. Works sometimes better than others. It went well today. Sachin is starting to walk! Yeah! Next time we see them, they will both be running around the playground. Sachin was saying Abhi's name by the time we left. Abhi, of course, is oblivious because all he wants to do it run and climb and try and escape from the play area. If I just let him run into the mall, I wonder what he would think when he looked back and I was not there. Probably nothing he would wonder on and visit with people! Like I said, mister busy body.

Keshav has Abhi swinging the tennis racket; a mini one his size. He showed him once over the weekend and now when he picks it up, he starts swinging. Course, he may knock himself or others out. But we may have a tennis player. He is also really ambitious about and good at throwing balls (and water bottles that are full of water). He has great hand-eye coordination. It these things are any indication, he should be pretty good at sports.

Abhi is saying paatti and taattaa (grandma and grandpa in Tamil). He is probably not sure what they mean yet but he will find out soon!
