My first chuck-e-cheese visit

I am finally done with all the sicknesses from the India visit. I am becoming friends with Nani and Thatha again. I am playing building blocks with Nani all day long.
I call them out loudly, everytime I dont see them for too long. Nana, Thatha and I went to Chuck-e-cheese in Herndon for the first time. I looked at everything curiously for the first 10 minutes. Then, I wanted to sit on the horse, the car, photo booth. I had so much fun. And then, Chuck-ee came out. I had so much fun and did not want to come back home.
Oh, what else...I am getting a limited supply of go gurts, but when I do get them, I get very excited.

Oh, I almost forgot...I am getting into a lot of habits like

When I do something naughty or accomplish something, I look at Nana or whoever is next to me and ask ....PAAEEE...meaning Pari.
If I want to ask I question, like what did Nan just do, then I sing....Naannaaaaa...then I expect someone to complete the sentence.
Every night, when I go upstairs, I go straight to Nani and Thathas room. I play with Nani and Thatha for 30 minutes. Thatha and I put mandhu in Nani's eyes.I play peek-a-boo with them under the blanket.

Then, Nana and I read a book and go to bed.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner, Mommy makes balls with a name for Nani, Thatha, Nana, Abhi Mama, Ammama, Sritha akka, Srikanth uncle, Aithe thatha.

I am good friends with Sritha akka. I take her to my bedroom when she comes and I go to her bedroom when I go to their place.

I started going to a new class at Gymboree which I enjoy a lot.

My second India visit

We went to India on December 8th. Nana, Mommy, Sona and Me. We were sick for 2 days before our trip. Aryan visited us on the weekend, after Ammama left to India 10 before us. I was excited to be at the airport. I was excited to see so many kids in the plane. It was a very long 14 hour flight to Dubai. I slept for 5-6 hours, threw up once. I sat on Nana and slept, watched TV, walked up and down the aisles.
When we stopped in Dubai, I was feeling sick again, threw up once in Dubai. We rode in an Emirates stroller. Nana and I walked on many escalators and got us upgraded to business class for our flight to Hyd.
We all slept like babies for our next 4 hour flight to Hyd.

Once we landed in Hyd, I was happy to see Nani and Thatha.I went to Nanhati immediately. I also saw Aithe Thatha, Ammama and Thatha. We all went to our Home in India. Nani and Thatha live there. We went in our India car(it is white too), Paandu - Nani, Thatha's driver. He takes commands very well as I realized later.

We stayed at Nani, Thathas place for sometime and then went to Ammama's place without Nana. We had a party next mornng at Ammama's place, so Nana, Nani and Thatha came.A lot of guests came too.

I had a lot of fun with Lalitha, Ammama's maid.I played a lot with her and learnt songs. She fed me too. I got a lot of domal bites. There is a school next door with a lot of kids. There are also some cows, goats and chicken 2 doors down.

The next day, Nani and Thatha threw a party at a rain forest themed place. It was in the afternoon and I was still getting over my jet lag. There was a cool jungle cake for Nani's surprise 60 year birthday cake. I cut it too.I fell alseep after the first 2 hours. There were some gators, a camel, a tiger. That place was soo cool.

And, the next day, we went to cool Nani and Thatha's 25th wedding anniversary party. I danced with Aryan and another kid. I had a lot of fun.

The next day, Nana and I went to Aryan's home. We spent all day playing with Aryan.Cool Nani, Nani, Thathas, Ram Thatha also came.

And, finally the next day, we had chelle's party hosted by Ammama and Thatha. I met a lot of people that day and took a lot of pictures. I went home with Nana that night after the party. I had fun with cool Nani, Ram Thatha, Nani, Nana and Thatha that night and the next day. Nana and I went on a camel in front of our house. Paandu called the camel.

The next day, after relaxing a little, we all went to Tirupati, to see a big Jeja. We went in the bus and a jeep. It was so cool. I saw many animals while we rode in the bus. Ram thatha showed me some puppies next to the bus. It was so much fun. In Tirupati, we stood in the line for a long time. I was awake for an hour and we sat and sat. After I slept, Nana carried me while Mommy carried chelle. It took us 3 hours to see Jeja. Man, was it crowded. There was a lot of pushing and shoving.

The next morning, Nani , Nana and me got our heads shaved. I was Nani getting her head shaved, so I was kind of cool with it. I sat on Nana facing him and did not look at the guy who took away my hair. We then rushed back to the airport It was cool to go on a plane with so many people that I knew.

The next day was Ponnu pinni's wedding. It started early in the morning. Nana, Nanis and Thathas went early. Mommy, Chelle, Ammama and Me came later.We were all dressed well. I had so much fun at the wedding.

I was feeling sick, with cold and cough sometimes, so I could not go to our village of Beemaaram. Nana went with Ashrith Chicha. Nana showed me pictures of goats, cows, chicken and buffalos. Nana told me that a baby cow was born when Nana was there. I wish I could go to. Nana told me that he will take me along next time.

Finally, it was the day to come back to the US. Nana, Nani, Mommy, Thatha, Chelle and I went to the airport.Aithe Thatha, Ammama and Thatha came too. The 14 hour flight was better than last time.

After we came back, I fell very sick. Apparently, Chelle and I got an ear infection. I am on my first antibiotics course right now. It will last for 10 days. I started feeling much better after I took the medicine although I am not liking eating the mandhu.

Oh, I almost forgot. I loved driving around in India. I could standup and walk around. I asked Paandu to play paata as soon as I sat in the car.I loved giving commands to Paandu.I also had fun at Ammamas place with Lalitha. She taught me a song and we played a lot.

I did not want to mention this but I got my first time out yesterday. Nana gave it to me for hittng chelle.
