Did you know that seeds, when properly cared for with water and sunshine, turn into ... seedlings! We grew some in the kitchen, and then moved them to the cool Tower Garden, which has this cool pump that moves the water up and then in falls back down on the roots. Super cool. (If you see Amma, ask her about it.) All of the lettuce and basil and tomatoes and snap peas and broccoli and other things aren't quite ready to eat yet, but they will be in a few weeks. I am excited. Though we need to make sure Thambi doesn't pick any of the tiny seedlings too soon.
Robot are very cool. We saw the robot show with robots playing soccer, robots getting up after falling down, robots hovering in the air, and even robots vacuuming. Then we got to play with circuits, make a fan spin, and play with cubes that lit up and moved around. This experience made the book Boy + Bot my new nighttime standard. I can fill in most of the words when Amma pauses for me. Robots aren't really supposed to eat applesauce. We went on a hike and got to hike along a log just like Boy and Bot do in the forest.
I continue to love the McGregors. There we do all kinds of fun things. One day we caught trout (six of them) and then ate them - yum! There I learn all kinds of things like the planet names and about space travel (I actually knew my planets before all of the ABCs), learning ABCs (I know them now), sometimes spanish (like hola and counting), and how big guys can help little guys (like when I help show little Kenzie how to do something). This translates to me helping out Thambi and getting excited when he can do new things (I tell Amma when he says something new or when he drinks the smoothie without spilling it).
On the way to the McGregor's, I often ride my Strider bike. I am so fast now, Amma has to run holding Thambi to catch up. Plus, big news. I can ride my Strider down the hill with no feet touching and even make the turn around a corner! I am pretty sure I am almost ready for a pedal bike.
There are a few things from past months that I may not have mentioned. Like I don't take a nap anymore! I get to do all kinds of new things with the big kids at McG. Though I still get pretty sleepy and if you put me in a car I will fall asleep. Another thing: I can towel off after the bath and put on my PJs or clothes on my own (though sometimes I still have Amma or Appa help). This translates sometimes into me really wanting to wear something in particular, such as my baseball pants or shorts (especially popular after we have been watching baseball - or little league!). And another thing: when we go sledding (like we did after a huge snow storm this month), I can go down on my own and go back up the hill on my own carrying the sled.
At home I like to help out. I like to help water plants. Sometimes we put on dance music - even in the morning - and we all dance together.
But one of the coolest things we did at home recently was build a big spaceship! It has a door with handles and a window and a roof and we drew pictures of all of the planets on it. Saturn is the prettiest with all of the rings. We brought supplies needed for long journeys, such as pillows, blankets, hammers, stuffed animals, lego men, and a phone. I got to share my spaceship with friends like Ara and Molly
This month also included a big party for great grandma and grandpa's 70th wedding anniversary (where there were lots of family members and a magic show too), hiking around Boulder (where I practiced climbing some rocks) and Golden (where there was this awesome tree with four big trunks where we could all climb inside), visiting grandma, the arrival of Ayyamma from India, a good trip to the Butterfly pavilion (seeing cool blue morpho butterflies), and seeing my neighbor catch a swarm of about ten thousand bees just behind our house!
Thank you God for robots, cake, trails, rocks, spaceships, family, and friends.
