Fall is Here

School is underway and the weather is getting cooler already. Sahana and Paras are doing great in school together. Paras is really enjoying his pre-K class, and is starting to learn how to read. He is already bringing home homework. I have to say that I think he's a little young for homework -- I don't remember even getting homework until I was in fourth or fifth grade. But I guess this is the new trend. He's also taking Spanish once a week and can count to five already. He's growing up so fast!

Paras also recently took his Tae Kwon Do test for a high yellow belt. I put a video of him breaking a board on Facebook, but here is a clip of him being awarded his new belt:



Sahana LOVES her class at her new school. She is only one of three (on some days, five) children in the class, and there are two teachers, so she gets tons of one-on-one attention and thrives on it. I get a little sheet with a report of her day each day, and they are really cute. Here is her report from last Thursday:

"Sahana had a great day! She was the first child to find one of the outdoor toys that still had water in it -- then she decided to sit in it.... She is really developing more social skills (sharing, taking turns, etc.) and is becoming more skilled at climbing things without getting afraid. Her adventurous side is starting to shine through."

Anyway, here is a video of Sahana doing her usual thing:



We already have costumes ready for Paras and Sahana for Halloween, but I won't ruin the surpise -- you'll just have to tune in! Until next time, I'll sign off with a picture of Paras in his train tent, which he outfitted with a master controlboard:
