Riya is asleep in bed with daddy and am on my way to work. I planned to start early so that i can come back early but also partly because i cannot say goodbye to her and leave her at home. So i decided to sneak out when she is still in bed. It's a big day for her as its her first full day without me or Vaishakh with her. She will be at home with her nanny untill 5.30 in the evening. It is going to be very hard to concentrate at work.

Riya can now point to her nose, leg, hand and tummy and can also show you how to brush :). But she is soo moody that she does these only when she wants to do. She tries to do twinkle twinkle with her hands but she cannot open all the fingers together and close them on her own yet. It is soo cute when she tries to open all her fingers one after the other to do twinkle twinkle little star

She has now recovered fully from her cold, cough and fever and is back to being her normal self. Full of life and full of energy. Screaming at the top of her voice at home. I am so happy to see her like this. She was so excited to see Vaishakh back from yesterday for some reason that she laughed at whatever he did or said .

Riya had 3 bday parties this year and now is finally done with all the parties. The last one was on Sunday which went well. She enjoyed sitting on the bouncy castle while the older kids jumped on it. She was probably happy with the bouncing. But she didn't want to go to anybody who came to the party and wanted to stay with me or daddy all the time. When it was time to cut the cake she touched the cream and licked it :) and everybody laughed. She was very keen to touch the cake as it was her favourite character 'Minnie'. I only wished she was in the best of her health to enjoy the party but well we probably cannot plan everything with a kid around. Things are bound to change .
