E molto altro! E' passato piu' di un mese da quando il blog e' andato in vacanza e naturalmente ne sono successe di cose... I bimbi crescono e fanno passi da gigante. Il nostro piccolo Rajiv parla molto meglio adesso e ha un letto tutto suo in cui dorme con il suo papa' per buona parte della notte - solo verso mattina si trasferisce da mamma e Rohan nel lettone. E' un fan di Michael Jackson e della musica di Bollywood.
Rohan invece e' come un grosso orsacchiotto di pelouche, tutti lo trovano irresistibile. Sa indicare la luna sul suo libro della buonanotte quando mamma glielo chiede e riconosce molte altre parole. La parola "biscotto", in particolare, porta sempre un sorriso sul suo volto. Uno dei suoi passatempi preferiti e' abbracciare bambini a caso in biblioteca e al parco. Sorride quasi sempre e preferisce stare con il suo papa', pero' assomiglia di piu' alla mamma :)

Sane abitudini
Ma niente paura, e' solo il secondo giorno :)
Here we are, all geared up for our evening run. See how I make it sound like it's an old family tradition? You would never guess we have done this for a grand total of... two days!

Back in Canada
We came back yesterday. The trip was smooth. Some sarcastic genius at the airport looked at our six suitcases and commented "Traveling light, eh?", but his life was spared. Our house is looking good and Appu seems very happy to be here.
We went to see his school today morning and he ran right in. He seems to remember the place from last August - could it be? It was a short visit though, we will see how it goes on Monday when he starts for real.

Pictures from Ooty - Round 3
Last batch of photos!
Ultime foto di Ooty!
The first group of photos is from a little family walk, only the four of us. We saw the train coming out of the tunnel down in the valley and that cheered up Rajiv who had woken up from his nap very pessimistic about life.
Le prime foto sono di una breve passeggiata con solo noi quattro. Con la partecipazione straordinaria del treno che esce dal tunnel! Ovviamente Appu era al settimo cielo.
Papa' is walking Rohan to sleep.
Papa' mette Rohan a dormire.
Bubbles early in the morning.
Bolle di sapone la mattina presto.
And then we run (literally) to have breakfast.
E poi di corsa a fare colazione.
Later, we ride on the little toy train - you have seen the video already.
Il trenino - quello del video.
Just before leaving: Appu with his "ouch" taking gardening lessons.
Appu e' caduto poco prima di partire. Per consolarlo, gentilmente il giardiniere gli ha fatto vedere come si innaffiano i fiori.
And to conclude, a couple of experimental shots with Rohan.
E per concludere, un paio di foto "artistiche" con Rohan, sempre disponibile a fare da modello.

Le ultimissime dal cantiere
Interrompiamo la serie di foto di Ooty per mostrare qualche foto dei progressi nel nostro nuovo sudatissimo appartamento.
Construction site update.
The tile work is almost over. When we went yesterday two teams of layers where working on the tiny tiles of the bathroom floors (to prevent slipping, in case you are wondering).
La posa delle piccole piastrelline sul pavimento del bagno.
The balcony is done, except grouting.
Piastrelle del balcone.
The kitchen is mostly done too. In case you are wondering about the two colours, the white tiles will be covered by the cabinets and only the other ones will be visible. It looks better in real life, I promise.
La cucina. (Le piastrelle bianche saranno coperte dai mobili e rimarranno invisibili)
The main hall and the bedrooms are done as well, but they where covered with plastic sheets so I couldn't take pictures. The only glimpse you can get is in this photo below. And you will also notice that, even though the work is proceeding decently, someone is not happy... :)
Questa e' la camera dei bambini, le altre stanze purtroppo avevano il pavimento coperto per proteggerlo e quindi niente foto. Tra l'altro, per la precisione, l'altra persona nella foto e' un collega, non un piastrellista. :)

Pictures from Ooty - Round 2
Sunday trip to the park:
Then Monday is B-day. We start the day blowing bubbles in front of the hotel (What a view!). After cake and breakfast Rajiv and Jayadev open their presents: matching sunglasses! Then we are off to the botanical garden.
