'Sun Blocking'

Took this picture on a sunny day against the light in my drawing room.

This is the third time she's been away from us now.
There is an unusual quietness around without her.
The whole house would be bustling with laughter and shrieks of cries in her presence.
Now, it's all STILL.
The otherwise unkempt corners of the house are now clean and tidy untouched by her foot prints.
The only noise that can be heard comes from outside: the shrill sound of the concrete mixture next to the apartment, children splashing water in the swimming pool, the brushing of the broom sticks on the floor as a maid tries to push aside puddle of water that entered the corridor because of an unusual downpour.

The heart felt bitter when she cried on first two days as she wished to be with her mother in Hyderabad.
Though regretful, some corner of the heart felt happy for this fact.

But now, she semms to be enjoying in her world with her grandparents. This is heartbreaking:(
Parents are SELFISH (for their children)... The only reason for that could be LOVE.

MISSING YOU my dear.

Sight words

Anvitha has started learning three letter words.
Though she is trying hard to make connections between the letter and its corresponding sound, she is learning many of them just by looking at them.

After getting an idea of teaching sight words accidentally, I decided to make the 'sight word caterpillar'.
And it proved to be really useful.
She has learnt almost 10 words and can recognize them while am reading a story for her.
