New year Gifts to my family

Amidst all the chaos of the school forms, collection, submissions, short listings, interviews, etc etc , finally we are done with the kiddo's school admission for the next session nursery 2016-2017 in the top most school of the city. But seriously, this whole education system has become so commercialized and has taken a form of well earning business. In every nooks and corners of the city new schools, playschools all are flourishing like mushrooms.
Everyone just eyeing on more and more money on the name of fabulous infrastructures, facilities, extra curricular activities, competitions etc which really make it difficult to decide which school is good/best for my kid. Anyways at least I am satisfied that the situation is not as worse as Delhi in my city. We filled the forms of just two schools, and get through both of them. Though for the school of our choice we had to face some tough competition along with the siblings factor for some Kids.
Amongst 370 shortlisted candidates for the interviews, only 140 students made through the final admission. The kid's interviews/interactions, parents& kids interactions, and then final interaction of parents with the principal.....Gosh, seriously it appeared more of like a job interview rather than the school admission :P
But, thanks to our kid's good educational growth that she made it right from the first phase itself. I am not showing off, but can't stop from mentioning the small wonders/achievements of my kid, afterall this blog is for her...and after some years I may be busy with her more achievements , and forgetting the past ones which are right now the most dearest and proudest for us.
Even, in her recent playschool she won the first place for 'Rhymes Competition'...and third place for 'Fancy Dress Competition' where she portrayed 'Doctor'.
In the recent PTM (parents teachers meet) , her teacher was all so ga ga over her, not forgetting to mention that she is among the top 4 brightest kids( answering all the 13 questions during the assessments) of the class. She loves rhyming, and yeah she knows every single rhyme taught, along with some extras learnt from Youtube. Writing skills excellent, memory excellent....oh wait wait I will update her report so that it remains intact for me, along with her certificates of the competitions.
Right now not having them but soon will be updating here.
As of now, the Doctor kid rocks :D
My Cute little Doctor

Let me Check u
The only hardest part for the teachers is to make her dress up in traditional dresses.  Yeah she never likes wearing traditional dresses, no matter how hard I try. She will end up crying instead of wearing. Even on Dussehra, Janmashtami, Rakshabandhan, she ends up school in her tshirts and shorts. The most favour she will do is , agree to wear a frock instead of tees. Hahaha...
But finally this diwali we all succeeded in making her wear at least a nice dress .The pictures arrive here :)
For Dussehra In scohol, Pehchan Kaun...Hahaha, the one in night dress with black thread in neck :D

Happy Diwali 2015

Praying...She is so fond of Gayatri Mantra, and as a matter of fact knows it well

The Teachers finally got her clicked in some Party dress atleast
Right now I so want to write more and more...my writing horses are on a high right now :D
But, but, but, got to go....work calling...Will continue later on....
Well, some update here today. Have finally got the copy of her report card. Her first ever report card and that also an awesome one...all reasons to cherish

Hope my little girl continues to learn new things everyday, and keep enjoying her childhood :)
After long long time landed up on my oh not so forgotten blog. Looks there is so much to read, write, analyse, think, act, plan, and much much more. At one moment it seems there is nothing much to do, but the other moment when I poke into my brain, the task list seems endless. Its like I am super busy in my brain but total velli( no work) on the outside. 
Well Well,  sorting out the tasks, my first task is to put up all the events,and other stuffs which are itching to be posted on my baby blog.
Starting with the birthday celebration of my sweetheart, my darling kiddo. So on 28th Sep 2015 she turned 3......OMG she is 3 now, i didnt even realize it. 
This year we decided to give our mother earth something back, marking her 3rd birthday we planted a tree and decided to take care of it. With every birthday we pledged to plant a tree , without failing to make sure it doesn't get ignore and reach its full glory unharmed. Now coming to the celebration part, though we decided it not to be a big show-shaw, we just decided to keep all the things, decorations, dress, and specially the cake as per the kid's choice, and finally calling off the day with one of her favorite dish 'Idli' ....she is a big big fan of it.
For the cake part, we decided to surprise her with a theme based 'CHHOTA BHEEM' cake, s thats her favourite cartoon character along with Mickey Mouse. Just seeing the cake, the expressions on her face were something which I can't do justice with the words. Not only was she happy and surprised, she was in such a hurry to hold the cake herself and carry it to the table. She just couldn't take her eyes off the characters 'bheem, chutki, jaggu, and raju' on the cake. She screamed and shouted with happiness, calling me and explaining me about the cake. Just a few small things can make kids so happy, they don't judge with the price tags, gifts, or anything, just small gestures are enough for them to squeal and rejoice.
Now how can i end up this note without posting some pics of the birthday :) So here we go ...
