Yet another new year and yet another resolution.

Highlights of 2011
1. Older one started Kindergarten. Officially in the American school system.(though he was in preschool before) Began school a month late thanks to our India trip. I was worried beyond control about him missing the first month. Would he cope? would he have friends? I asked the question to colleagues, friends, my paedi, girl next to me at the checkout counter ( i am kidding you not!).

He started on the auspicious day of Vijayadasami. His first parent conference, teacher says he is still assimilating to the environment but academically sound. Him being slightly younger than the rest of kids could also be the reason. I just hope and pray that he enjoys his school in the months to come.

2. The India trip sparked a fascination for planes. Now the brothers (yes both of them) seem to made a transition from the numerous Thomas trains to plane figures. We have a Boeing 747 miniature, Air force one miniature and Concorde miniature.

3. Air force one documentary on Netflix is being watched round the clock.

4. Thanks to their fascination of planes , learnt the most dangerous airport is the one in Nepal. while youtubing for that also watch out for the one in St.Martin! Awesome!

5. We have a Christmas tree for the second year now. (Fake prelit one). Got one last year not to disappoint the preschooler who was expecting Santa to give him something.
