End of 2007
We will be going on a 3 week holiday to India - so no blogging for a while. I am excited to see how Arunav interacts with everyone there. 2007 has meant so much to us - Aarushi arrived, Arunav started pre-school and we settled in HK.
Arunav did great in his Christmas Play - his first real performance - he was one of the Wise Men(King). He got a cheer from the crowd afer he spoke his lines :)
Aarushi can now point to herself when we ask,"Where's Aarushi?" and also can show her head - she doesnt too much fancy the other parts of her body :) and her laugh is really infectious......
We read a famous story of Ramakrishna to Arunav - one about the cobra who would bite everyone in a village. Then a monk preached him not to hurt anyone. The cobra was then hurt by the people who knew he will not bite. The monk saw the sad state of the cobra and told he should not bite but he can always hiss (in self-protection).
Though I told him the story, I did not think he will be able to internalize the meaning. Quite a few days later, Arunav came back from school and told me, mummum you tell me not to push but everyone pushes me. I said, I told you not to push but you can always say a loud 'Hey' when anyone pushes you - I did not tell you not to do that! Arunav thought for a while and said,"I should hiss - just like the cobra?" That floored me.
