Just a few minutes ago, Appu shows me a drawing he made and tells me it's me - and by the way, he did that because Rohan yesterday had made a picture of me, and he wanted to measure up :)
Anyway, back to the story. Appu says:
- Mamma, it's you!
- It's me?
(maybe I sounded doubtful)
- Yes, when you were very small.
- When I was small?
- Yes, when you were inside *my* tummy..

Appu impara a leggere! (In inglese...)
Rajiv has known his letters and the sound they make for a while now, mostly thanks to an annoying electronic toy. However, he just wasn't interested in putting those sounds together to make words. I tried to introduce the idea a couple of times, but he just wasn't ready.
And now, suddenly, he really wants to learn! In the video he is reading from a book that I made for him more than six months ago. He loves that he can more or less read it all by himself. Of course the pictures help and by now he must have it all memorized, but you can see that he is really trying to figure it out by himself.
Anyway, mamma is so proud :)
Note: At Appu's request, I wanted to record the reading of the whole book, but Rohan had some computer trouble and then I finished my memory card, so the video at some point just ends.

Photos You Have Missed - Part 3
This is Meaghan, also known as "The Nanny" :)
All the photos below were taken by her while spending time with the kids, on various days in November.
Questa e' Meaghan, la ragazza che si occupa di Rohan, e alcuni giorni anche di Rajiv, mentre io lavoro. Le foto che seguono risalgono a Novembre e sono state scattate da lei.
No worries: the train only comes twice a week, at predictable times, and it is a veeery slow charming old train.
Rajiv and Rohan have fun sweeping the leaves in front of our house.
Art time.
Playground.
Coffee break.
More playground... and Rohan finds a friend!
Right next to the playground it's also fun to look at the animals, but little fingers have to be out of the net at all times!

Fridge art
One of the joys of daycare: knowing that your son can express himself with paint, glue and what not, and he is not doing it on your walls. :)

Happiness is ... washable markers
Felicita' e'... pennarelli nuovi con un sacco di inchiostro (lavabile!)
