Moving up in rank.

Hello Everyone,

How is everyone doing ? I am doing quite alright. I'm almost 15 months old and a lot has changed since I turned One. I'm graduating to higher ranks. Good job for me. 'CLAP' 'CLAP' 'CLAP'

You might be thinking, what ranks is he talking about? Let me clarify. As I have mentioned time and again I am a big boy now. So I am getting to do some of the things big boys get to do.

I finally have my own corner in Mom and Dads room. I mean my crib was always there but now I can use the adjacent wall for expressing myself and here is how I've set it up. Dreamy isn't it. It helps me to fall asleep easily and if I have trouble falling asleep I can literally count the stars. Neat, hai na.

I even got the pictures and figures in colors matching my bed set. Fancy, isn't it ?

This is my cricle of friends. I'm not quite sure if you can see but I have my giraffe, chimpanzee, teddy, rabbit, daddy and baby elephant and a doggie, all on the same wall. And look at all those stars...... I just love them.


And there is some writing there too. Not my idea, it was mom. I can't read yet so thats no good to me. I can't tell you what is says so please read for your self. And if you need help, ask MOM.

What else. Hoooooooray. I have my own car now. Last time I told you Dad was giving me driving lessons. Guess what, I have a convertible now and that too a RED one. What more can a guy ask for.

And my car is truly a car of the future. No gas crisis for me. It runs on man/woman power or should I say mom/dad power. I'm a little concerned about the low speed limits my parents have set but I'll find a way around that too. And more all my favourite songs are already pre fed into the cars music system. I have " The wheels on the car go round and round" and "Do you know the muffin man". Both are my favourite songs. I even have a weather button built in. I just checked a little while ago and it said today it will be sunny. The sun is shining bright so it is accurate. I Loooooooove my car.


Thats me, riding my convertible. Anybody need a ride ?


I think I am lost. Need some directions, Mom. How do I get to the coffee table, aage ( foward) or peeche ( back) ?

This is the efficiency I was talking about. I have woman power ( not horse power like the other outdated 20th century cars.)

I even have manpower along with woman power for my car. I wonder why they ever decided to use horses for pushing cars ?? No need for gasoline either.

Everyone is happy. Papa is happy pushing my car. I am happy riding my car.

Truly enjoying my car ride. Anyone care to join me for a ride. It's free !!!!

I even have a musical chair for myself. It has a clock, my very own personal lamp and music too. It even has a book to read. So cool and so comfi too. Check me out relaxing in this chair.

Just relaxing in my chair.

See this is how you wind a clock to make it work.

YAY .... I got the clock to work. Good job for me.


I even got my bumble bee balloon in the picture. See how big it is. I like to play with it.


I'm up to some other things too but you'll have to wait a little bit...... just till next time.
Happy guessing what I am up to till then.

More beach mystery

Just wanted to tell you a little more about our trip to Half Moon Bay.

Well the trip was not that bad after all. I had a fun time. We went to this Thai resturant for dinner and I liked the decor. Cool looking golden colored toys but Mom just won't let me touch them. I liked the people there. They all smiled at me and said what a cutie I am. That I am and unlike the confusion before this is a well established fact.

We slept late into the morning and by the time we left the hotel we were late even for the late checkout. Anyway then we went to an Italian resturant and I liked that too. No cool toys here but the salt shaker was great. Rolled great on the table and worked well too. I did check by giving it a good shake. You should see the size of the pepper shaker. HUGE. I would have loved to play wiht it but the guy just took it away, so fast. I never even got a good look at it.

Anyway after lunch we went to the beach. Once we got there Mom kept saying this is the sea. I can't talk much but I am sure my puzzled expressions told her that I had no clue what she was talking about. Then she said its the ocean. Ok I am quite confused by now. And then where is the beach, may I ask.

I know all of you may be confused too. So I'll explain whatever little I can and then you are on your own. If you still don't follow, call my parents at (na-na-na)-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. I gave you all the 10 digits. I hope you got them. I know I don't say all the numbers correctly thats why I wrote them down for you. Good thinking hain na.

Here I go.

Observation:
1. There was a lot of water just like in my bath tub.
2. It kept splashing back and forth like I do when I play with in my bathtub.
Conclusion: It was a gaint bathtub. Not a C.

Observation:
1. Lots of dirt.
2. Lots of kids playing in the dirt and older people sitting too.
Conclusion: It was just like part of our backyard. Where is the beach?

Observation:
1. I never saw the moon. Sorry too sleepy to stay up.
2. Can't say if it was half or not.
3. We found the orange ball again but it's in the sky now and not in the water.
Conclusion: Never found the moon, but I am better than the guy who keeps losing his ornage ball.
See if you can make some sense with the pictures.

Thats Papa and me. I got to sit on the sheet. We're looking at what I call the giant bathtub.

Can you see it in the background. Giant bathtub, hain na.

Mom in the sand pit. I wish she would let me sit in the sand.

Hmmm......the sand smells great. I snuk my hand in when no one was looking at me.

Just chilling at the beach.


Thats all the splashing I was talking about.

Mom and I are enjoying the nice breeze. See I got my toes in the dirt too. Clever na.

We're cold yet happy to be at the here.

Its nice and cool with the hat on.
