The Dynamic Duo...Ro and V


It’s no surprise that every single staff member in our hotel looks at Veda and says…”NNNNOO”. Yes, she hasn’t changed. She does say more words though, but only with Mom, Dad, and Rohin. She has also started saying “UUUHHH NNOOO” when something goes wrong. It’s pretty funny since she says it with such drama. We did have a break through today, Veda actually said "bye, bye" to the door man and Rohin said "Cya" to the driver. We are making progress.

Stuff on Ro....to him the arctic fox is apparently the enemy. If he doesn’t want to go somewhere he says that the arctic fox is there and he can’t go. It’s pretty funny really. Then of course he screams at it and life is good again. Mind you it’s an “Arctic Fox” not just a fox.

Rohin used “party decorations” in full sentence. Seriously, we totally cracked up! I think he heard one of us say it earlier. Rohin also said “Awwww man! I wanted to do that” when I flushed the toilet for him. Apparently that is his favorite part.

Veda and Rohin are becoming more and more open to “trying stuff”. It’s pretty interesting to watch there faces when they try something new. So many things are spicy here. Rohin spent ½ a meal eating a samosa and then blowing through his mouth and then sucking down his juice! Veda could care less about the spice. She just eats past it.

The kids’ days usually involve some sort of swimming, coloring and playing at some park. It is very stressful…ha. We have names for the parks at the hotel. There is the sand park and plastic park. We need to get out more. Today we went to the potential school for Rohin and Veda. I say potential because currently we are on a wait list. Whatever that means! The school is really great. I really hope they can get in.

Also, at the sand park today I made two observations. One, the sand at the park also is used as kitty litter for all the stray cats running around here. And two, my kids were entertained by a plastic bag, a formula scooper and an old ice cream container – no idea who’s any of it was, but they played for an hour (screw the $10.00 sand toys when you have garbage I guess!)

All in all, the kids are doing well as I said before. We have our moments, but hey we all do. Tonight they both sat side by side in this small twin bed hanging out together and watching Thomas the Train. That right there makes everything worth it.
