Deepta can be very polite when the mood suits her. She thanks me for things and reminds me to "use the magic word"?! She can follow indirect conversations, inuendos and fairly complex concepts. We have a mini sensor at home.

The perputual motion machine just keeps on moving. Yes, his vocabulary is increasing, this week we say Thish, cheez, tichu. He get very concerned if I do not have the piggy pupet on my hand.

I am begining to get back to LVWA things after my summer hiatus. (ALL of 5 weeks)

Gosh! it has been a while, we have been recuperating from our hundreds of colds, the children us and then the children again. Thus far, Deepta is doing pretty well with Indian music it is hard to develop a schedule and stick to it. But, we usually get to it at least once a week. I have not been able to read to her too much. This knee problem has really whacked me out.

Aadi, is now running forwards and backwards. He is not doing too well with the talking or listening ... as Deepta informs me - he is not a good listener! He says a lot of half words, Ca Ca for Sophie, Tak for Take, ch ch for Cheese and yes, among other things he has figured out how the weighing scale works.

Maybe is a boy thing- they are slow.
