Miles away but smiling together....

The kids have figured out means to keep their spirits high, even when missing Dadda badly. Ananya wakes up every morning, switches on the internet and the computer and logs on to Skype, says hello to Dadda and only then goes on to other activities. Lil Advaya too wakes up from sleep, rubbing her eyes and comes running to the computer, saying 'Good Morning Dadda'.They both don't like it that Dadda is away in the US on work but they are not cribbing. Instead, they have learnt to have good times with him online. Their storytime, music sessions, and all other activities happen online, undisturbed. What wonderful lessons kids teach us{ the educated, experienced adults) !!!
So much learning happening for me, these days, just have to keep my eyes and ears open.....Ananya is very happy staying at home and doesn't look like we are going to go back to school anytime soon. Lots of time together, the pressure free, stress free life is leaving us happier.So why think of any other?
Lots of surprises being cooked up, to welcome Dadda back on the 22nd. Ananya has done a lot of math, trying to count the number of days left for his return. Learning is everywhere!!! Every morning, she promptly reminds me the date and the number of days befor the 22nd. Now that the remainder is getting smaller, she is extremely happy. They are going to hug Dadda again after a patient, long wait of 45 days!!!
