Daddy Kisses & Rhea Kisses -


What a beautiful book!


“Daddy Kisses” by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben remains Rhea’s favorite book. The book shows how every father has expressed his love to his kids by kissing them. Rhea makes us read the book every day and loves to get kissed as per every page. For example, a line in the book says –“daddy wolf gives his pup a kiss on the nose”, and so Rhea loves to being kissed on her nose.:)


A book every daddy must read to his child.

Summer Holidays'14


Almost a month has been passed since we came back to the States. Gianna is not going to school these days and spends time at home with all these activities summarized below-

Good part- Gianna reads her favorite story books, plays indoor games with Rhea, plays chalks with her, does some practicing in reading and writing, goes to the parks, rides her scooter, loves to take showers with Rhea.  


 


Crazy Part- There is worth mentioning here that despite all these activities, some fights also happen between these girls (mostly over stuff toys). Rhea tries to emulate Gianna a lot. She wants the same stuff that elder sis is having and want to do the same thing that her big sis is doing, so it gets difficult sometimes to settle the argument. I am glad that it is mostly Gianna who tries to make up by giving her share of toys to Rhea.




Fun Part- We paint nails. G & R spend time in putting their hair accessories onto each other’s hair. They look at poems and lullabies on mumma’s android together.

 

Arguing in the car over the songs is a common thing that we all do. The fight is over the movie Tangled’s songs or mumma-papa’s hindi songs..:-) and I am sure you can guess who is the winner every time..;-)??

Rhea’s first trip to the beach..




It was a lovely weather on Mother’s day and so, we decided to celebrate it by going to the beach. Gianna was very excited as she was wishing to go to the beach from a long time. Rhea was happy to see that everyone is dressed up and sensed that we are going outside.





After reaching at the beach, Gianna got busy collecting sea shells. Rhea did not like her feet to be dipped in the water, she was shivering as the water was icy-cold. We tried to make her comfortable but she was not willing to try out this new adventure. Soon, she joined her big sister in sand-play and was happy watching the sea from distance and filled her bucket with sand. The short visit ended with some home-made food and yummy chocolate-vanilla ice-cream. We all had a good time and we hope to visit more to the beaches this summer to make Rhea more comfortable in the water.
