Mar 6th, 2008 - Since our apartment is not ready, we are living at the Homestead Hotels in Irving. This is the longest I have stayed away from my house and my mother is worried that I may not like living here. So far its been fun here because everything is accessible to me, the fridge, the kitchen, the TV etc and I am having fun. My mother has been keeping me busy by watching TV with me, taking me for walks etc. There is an Indian bakery behind the hotel called Hot Breads and my mother gets samosas and cakes for us. One evening, we did the laundry and I had fun in the laundry room. We have had snow fall 2 days since I got here and thats been fun too. I am looking forward to moving to our new apartment soon. |

Mar 3rd, 2008 - I was born in sunny California and have never experienced a snowfall in my life, although I saw some snow when I was in Des Moines last year. It does not snow much in Dallas, maybe once or twice a year and it happened 2 days after I landed here. I think the Snow Gods were waiting for me to arrive. My dad took me out and I felt the snow flakes on my fingers. There were some other people at the hotel who were also seeing snow for the first time and they were jumping and screaming like little kids. I really enjoyed the snow but my dad had to take me in as I was not adquately protected. |

Mar 1, 2008 - The day has finally dawned for us to leave Los Angeles and head to Dallas. I was born here and this will be my first long distance move for me. We woke up early and made sure we were packed up and ready to go. We took a shuttle from the hotel to the AA terminal, checked in and took our flight to Dallas. My parents have had a tough time with me on a flight and so they were a bit nervous and well prepared to keep me entertained. They were armed with food, drinks, DVDs, toys and anything they could do to keep me busy. |
We had a smooth flight with no trouble from me and we arrived in Dallas in the evening. We picked up our luggage and headed to our hotel in Irving. A new chapter in my life starts in Dallas. Wish me luck.

Apr 29th, 2008 - My mother is always teaching me something. She teaches me some how to says some words, recognize things like animals etc and also allows me to do chores around the house. My latest fun job is doing the laundry. My mother usually does it right before I take my afternoon nap and what I do is is running to the laundry room and start shouting "Machi", "Machi". My parents were surprised when they heard me identify the soap as "Tide". I guess I learnt from watching the TV. |

Apr 23rd, 2008 - This is a topic I did not want to discuss on the blog but I guess I must. My parents got me a potty today and I suppose they will start the potty training from tomorrow. I immediately liked the color of the potty, its blue in color and matches the mats in the bathroom. As you can see, I sat on it and gave it a test drive. Wish me luck. I can see the look on my parents "THIS IS A BIG JOB!! " |

Apr 17th, 2008 - Today wa a very busy day for us. In the morning, my parents took me out of the house as we had to go to the DMV to get their licenses, my dad had to go the dentist for a checkup and so I was quite happy to be out of the house and driving around in the car. It also meant that my dad was at home. In the evening, we went out to Cimarron park again. I had a great time as I used the different slides in the park. There were some grown up boys playing soccer and they were nice enough to give me the ball so that I could kick it in the goal. The weather started turning bad and so we went home quickly. By late evening, there was severe thunder and lightening but I did not get scared. I stood in the window and was watching what was going on. Pretty cool stuff. We never got lightening like this when we were in LA. |
