Tooth Fairy...

Have you heard of this folklore...The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure ... when a child loses a baby tooth, if its placed beneath the bed pillow, the tooth fairy will visit while the child sleeps, replacing the lost tooth with a small payment..:-)

I remember tracking n recording every milestone of Shreya...it was day after day during the initial days..slowly it moved to month after month...after her 1 st year, I almost stopped...May be coz, I got busy with other work or got over the "new Mum syndrome".
Now, after a long time, im registering something which reiterates, my baby is growing..
Her baby tooth has been shaky for the last few days...when she got bewildered...worried...what will happen if it falls...a little consoling and making her understand that everybody goes thru this, put her fears on a backstage.
We did tell her what she should do,if it falls at school...:-)
Well,today the front tooth did fall...don knw why...we both were pretty excited...we quickly washed it and put it safely inside a box...
Googled and found very interesting facts and different customs n traditions followed across the globe for this what we look at as a "simple normal growing pattern".
Now shreya is one tooth down...and gives a bridge smile !!
And is already worried about what the "boys" wud tease !!!!!

Shreya's Graduation Day

Kinder Garten Graduation Day for Shreya...a farewell day too...a day to mark our first foot in to Primary classes...and a goodbye to our association with kg...

Every teacher cud be one of the best event managers !! The entire event was well rehearsed,coordinated,organised, !! The tinytots gave us a wonderful entertainment with dancing,singing,skit...

It was lovely to watch Shreya receiving the certificate with the robe and later on transforming in to fairy for one of the programmes...

While we cud have jus hired her costume, we jus wanted to take that little bit of effort to put everything together..which I always enjoy doing...
The white gown was somethig that we found difficult to grab...scouting various shops, atlast we found it at Histyle and good for us, we got it in a SALE !!
Crown-we already had.Footwear at Kobbler sale.Wand and a few accessories frm Toys r us.Wings frm Santosh.Vrinda's earrings completed the entire makeover...

Felt really proud when her pic was shown atleast 5 times,part of the Annual report slide show talking about kids who won prizes in inter school contests..;-)
At the end, while we were leaving,lotta teachers and the Principal were standing at the entrance.Usha mam introduced us to the Principal- This is the Shreya Vijayanand whose name I was repeating again n again in the Annual Report !!
What better intro do we need???

Finally, I almost choked when we bade goodbye to our dear Swapna Miss...A word more, I wud have had tears rolling down..:-(

And more so, when she told Shreya- Do participate in a lotta progs and contests like the way you are doing now.But you don have to worry..Your Mom will take you and encourage you to do...:-) Well, that was one big compliment frm the teacher.

Yes, its a sign of growth, but we will miss all the Fun,Activities,Projects..and most of all our dear down to earth,humble teachers !!

A Day which will be chiseled and etched in memories...A Day which reminds you ,that your kid is growing fast....

Dak Dhina Dhin...

Well, there are a lotta things that I want to pen down...and yes, this wat I keep telling myself every now and then...But then, I just don get the mood to sit down n blog...
But here is something I jus wanna quickly register here before it sweeps my memory...
Shreya may be a good dancer in future..but she might be a better choreographer is wat I feel...I want to get back to this page after many years and say, Dint I get it right that day??? :-))
I have many points to justify this...
1.She loves to make others dance,choreographing steps for them...and according to wat the person can actually do..and even Thatha Paatti arent spared ;-)) Yes, I did say Thatha..;-)))
2.The steps differ according to music...classical,kuthu,jus a ballet(!!)
3.And she can jus come up with a concept for the choreography as well...
4.Costumes change accordingly
5.Its spontaneous
6.If I criticise a particular step, she can comeup with another one instantaneously

Okie..these are jus my observations...
Ultimately, dance is something that she enjoys atleast as of now..hope she continues to withold her interest...
