What a relief that schools have re-opened and Jr. is in 3rd grade already! Kids grow so fast. After 6 weeks of vacation in India, it took quite a while for all of us to get out of jet lag. Almost 10 days after we landed in US were pretty bad since Jr. was home all the time not knowing what to do!! All he had was TIME IN HIS HANDS!! At that point, I realized why our parents said 'Saali yavagara shuru agatado ivatardu'! Trust me, every minute I was awake, I recited the same old line for nearly 10 days!
And Yey... the school re-opened on 10th. Our home came back to living in peace from pieces!! Its been two weeks since Jr.'s school started. Two days Jr. came back from school and was telling about his day. He said 'Today we had a table change for most of the kids" (his class has 5 tables with almost 6 kids each and each one has an assigned spot. Places are generally changed after every quarter). It kind of surprised me as to why would his teacher change the places in the first week of school and I asked him the reason. His reply was 'Because if you are friends with other kids on the table, they would be chit-chatting and not paying attention to the teacher'!! Both of us burst into laughter!! It reminded me of our school days where we used to talk all the time (esp. in high school).
Cheers to our kids who remind us of our childhood everyday!!
