Just like Dad

Foster is definitely into mimicking and repeating us these days. It's scary how intently he must "study" us, as his imitations, using the telephone, talking to each other, are usually spot on. Dad loves to read his news in the mornings in bed. He can be found snuggled under the covers, the glow of the computer lighting up his face. Foster decided he wanted to do some reading in bed as well.

Giving Jelly Cat a Ride

Jelly Cat and Foster have become best friends and during the last few weeks, he has been a constant companion, and is at Foster's side whenever we are at home. One day Foster decided that Jelly Cat needed a ride in the Ergo and a bottle because he was thirsty.

Eid Mubarak!

A few weeks ago we celebrated Eid, the end of the Muslim Ramadan, a month in which Muslims fast during the day. We dressed up in our traditional Indian outfits for an Iftar, a special meal held during Ramadan. One wonderful thing about our experience in India, has been learning about so many other cultures and religions.

Daycare Fun

Foster has been loving his new pre-nursery (a.k.a. preschool) program that he goes to for a few hours in the morning.

Foster's favorite part of the week--the music man!! Time for some dancing.

Hello Grandma! Anything that remotely looks like a telephone turns into a phone.

Not sure what he is doing here.

Taking a look back

Birthdays are a great chance to take a step back and look how far Foster's come in the last two years!  Wow has the time flown, but what a great time we have had.

On being a parrot

Foster has become a little parrot lately, literally repeating everything that we have to say. For example yesterday during lunch, Foster wasn't feeling that great and was mad because John took the ketchup away from him. I said, "John, be patient, he is sick," a few minutes later, Foster promptly repeated the sentence back. Also, yesterday morning as I was leaving, he waived his hand, beauty pageant style and said, "Goodbye, Darling." Now that is one that John and I can't take credit for, likely from school or Sheela is where he heard that.  He got the biggest kick the other day playing with his "penguin" as he called it.

Giving Jelly Cat a Ride

Foster decided that Jelly cat was bored just hanging out, he needed to take a bike ride.
