Negotiations Begin

Folks,

Today is a great day. I have learnt the power of negotiation. After dinner, appa was sitting with his legs stretched and I saw an opportunity to engage him better by using those stretched legs as a mini slide. :-) That used to be my favorite game for a while before I started on tricycle, car etc.

Appa did not mind me sliding, and I happily repeated the up and down routine quite a few times. Then appa said - this is the last one and I said "More". Appa said "Okay. Last Two". I took it to the next level and said "Okay Last Three". Appa would not budge and kept saying "Last Two". I also held my ground and kept on saying "Last Three". Lo and Behold - Appa said "OKAY, LAST THREE"

Negotiate my sincere readers. There is always place for that one extra thing you can ask...

See you later,

Yummy I-C-E C-R-E-A-M

Folks,

How is your summer going on? It is a blast for me. Recently I wrote about the strange language my parents are speaking. After scratching my head for a long time and pulling a lot of hair out, I have figured out two words. One is the summer's favorite ice cream and every Saturday morning's fresh juice.

I no longer need to stare at their faces when they speak about J-U-I-C-E or I-C-E C-R-E-A-M. In fact I have started speaking that language. On Saturday we have a new tradition. This new place Cranston, has a great ice cream place. It is called the inside scoop. Appa chanced upon this place and since summer is short, we decided to visit it every week. Yummy Yummy flavors (strawberry, ginger, snick a ripple, butter crunch, sweet cream to name a few we have already tasted). If you are in the area, please pay them a visit and support local businesses.

See you later,

At our new Home

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in posting my new activities. As of Aug 1 2009 we moved to a new place in Cranston Rhode Island. Appa had enough of traveling I guess. So for a few days, our house was full of boxes. Appa and amma were busy putting things into the box and i was busy taking them out and spreading all over. Sometimes, I would get yelled yet when appa and amma's patience ran out. I had lot of fun and I am sure they did too.

On the day of the move, I was really upset that Melvin and Rudi (our movers) took my tricycle into the van and I did not stop crying until I got the tricycle back at my new home. Boy that tricycle in itself is a life for me.!!!

New house is big, I have my own room (I hardly use it though!) and my own potty room! Our new complex has a pretty big swimming pool. I enjoy the splish splash splosh. It is very hard to get out of the water in this hot weather. We are still trying to settle down. I will be posting more details about the new house pretty soon. Until then, enjoy the summer.

Bye,

Saaranga
