Appacha and Amminja have come and gone!

K had a blast with his Appacha and Amminja (grandpa and grandma) the past 5 days. As all visits of Appacha and Amminja, things were hectic and I feel I didnt' get to spend enough time with them. But I think K did and that anyway is primarily why they come to visit nowadays. Appacha and Amminja were quite impressed with K's vocabulary and skills. They used to pick him everyday early from the creche and take him home. infact i'm sure he must be feeling quite miserable today cos he's been in the creche so long today. anyway the good thing is that 2 days holiday is coming up, and he will have enough time to recover from the exciting appacha -aminja days and get back to his normal routine.

He woke up today and before opening his eyes he first said "appacha" and then "amminja" and didn't believe us when we told him that they had left town. he then proceeded to walk around the house and check whether they had in fact left. He specially checked the treadmill and had quite a forlorn look when he discovered that his appacha wasn't on it. (he must have thought "now that appacha's gone, i wonder when this thing will next get used!")

I hope Appacha and Amminja come more often to visit K - although I personnally prefer visiting them in Kerala - cos then i'm on holiday and therefore more relaxed. But K sure had a blast showing appacha and amminja his house, his park, his creche, his toys and his skills and generally hanging out with them.....suddenly hit me hard that i no longer have grandparents, which is really quite sad, cos no-one can quite dote on you the way grandparents can!
