Update

Gosh it's been too long since the last update. Here are the highlights:

Simi had his first soccer "practice" on Wednesday. It was a miserably cold, rainy day and we were both very glad that he's playing INDOOR soccer. He and his best friend, Alex, are enrolled in soccer together and you've never seen anything as adorable as the two of them running around the field, chasing after their size 3, regulation weight soccer balls. There are about twenty 3 year-olds in the class. Graeme, the coach, did a GREAT job of coaching. We're still really amazed that he got these little toddlers to follow his directions. They played "red light, green light", where red light - you stop the ball with your foot, green light: you kick the ball, yellow light: you go SLOWLY, and BLUE light: you SIT on the ball. Then all the little toddlers lined up and kicked their ball into the goal.

The look of glee on both Simi and Alex's faces was just heart-warming. I don't think I've ever seen Simi this happy. Of course I didn't bring the camera; you better believe I won't forget it this-coming Wednesday!

Now for an Asher update (I have to take a big, deep sigh before posting. OK, another one): The good news is that he's eaten four 4 oz. jars of stage 2 veggies and chicken today -- plus a couple of Wendy's french fries. And it's only noon. In fact, I haven't even given him a bottle all day. That's the highlight of the week. In other good news, he's just tremendously, absolutely, incredibly adorable. Let's just leave it at the good news today.

This morning was the annual easter-egg hunt in our neighborhood. Both Simi and Asher had a wonderful time. Asher didn't really care much about picking up plastic eggs, but he had a great time playing on the playground. Simi had a wonderful time picking up the eggs and eating the candy treats inside them. He even got a couple of yo-yos -- woo hoo!

We'll post some photos -- just as soon as Raj teaches me how.

Until soon,
