Friday, February 05, 2010Green Thumb in the Red RoomI signed Uma up for an afterschool garden club at her preschool. It meets every Friday, and today was the first meeting. The meetings begin with a lesson on gardening and then the kids go outside and get to work in the school's butterfly and hummingbird garden. This is the second year her school has sponsored the club, so this spring the children should see plants bloom that last years' students planted. They will plant some new plants and learn how to tend to the established ones. Today they planted seeds in cups and set them on a sunny window sill to germinate and then went outside and raked. They were still at work when Kieran and I arrived to pick up Uma. I have never seen three- and four-year-olds so intent on a task. Uma seemed to enjoy herself. She really likes poking around in Grandma's and Aaji's respective gardens, so I hope she will have just as much fun working in her school's garden.

Also, Picasa red-eye correction isn't very good.

Sunday, January 31, 2010All the world's a stage..."I walk slowly when I'm dressed pretty because when I'm dressed pretty I feel like I'm up on a stage and I walk slowly because I'm shy." This while walking to the car in the garage.

...and it's going in your permanent record!
Uma has started issuing written citations to Kieran when he does something to annoy her. She writes the words "No Kieran" next to a picture of Kieran frowing while tears pour down his cheeks. Nearby is a drawing of Uma with a big smile on her face. Uma then hands the picture over to Kieran, who is happy to take it and quite clueless about its meaning. Then Uma says something like, "Kieran you really hurt my feelings. Tell me you're sorry and give me a hug." Kieran usually complies, and then Uma goes off to draw a new picture. This one shows Uma and Kieran both smiling next to the words "Yes Kieran." I wish I could say all their disputes ended so amicably, but I'm glad it works at least some of the time.Labels: words

A sartorial observation
Last night, Uma noticed that her shirt and my shirt had their buttons on opposite sides. That's pretty observant.Labels: words
