Haridas Without Training Wheels!

Watch Haridas's first time riding a bike without training wheels. It's amazing how fast he just took off by himself.

P Is For Penguin



We spent 2 weeks learning about the letter P and penguins. We were surprised to learn that male Emperor penguins can be 4 feet tall and weigh 100 lbs! So, we drew a life size one and measured how tall the boys would be in comparison. Their heights are the red lines. Haridas helped color and draw our penguin friend.



We also made penguins out of play-doh. We learned a lot from these austere animals that are so tolerant and go through so much for their loved ones.

Haridas Loves Reading!

Something recently shifted in Haridas and now he's really into reading and wants to learn more all the time! It's so exciting for all of us! Here's a video of him reading 15 words, many ending with ck, all by himself. We're on Lesson 17 with My Father's World From A to Z, and we have 90 days left!

Little Firemen

Haridas and Navin are really excited about their Fireman dress-up outfits that are also raincoats and rain boots! They are very inspired by their Grampa Dan who was a fireman.

Navin Playing Mridanga

Here's some pics and a short video of Navin playing the new mridanga. He's very serous about it!

New Drums!

Here's some pictures and a video of Haridas playing his new kid sized mridanga and bongo drums for the first time. Our home is even more musical now! We give thanks and praise for the blessings in our lives! :)

E Is For Elephant

Haridas made this elephant mask as we are studying the letter E. He made it all by himself by drawing and cutting out the ears and trunk and gluing them onto a paper plate. Then he covered it with black and white finger paint to make a grey color. I cut out the eyes and tied on the rubber band and that was all I did. He then put on his grey elephant shirt and was all set to go as an elephant!
