Cute Pic

I clicked this snap today morning when the kids were waiting for their van.

The camera on my cell phone works well only in outdoors, so I end up clicking snaps of my kids when we are waiting for their van. The van is supposed to come to the back gate of our apartment by 9:45 am but usually comes around 10:00 am. So everyday, kids either bring along a story book or magic pot or a toy down there to read/play till the van comes. We sit on the stairs of D block of our apartment complex & wait for the red maruti van to appear.


Today it was the turn of hanuman mask to be picked up. nidhi must have watched the baby hanuman dvd about 60 times now & neha about 40+ times. we've had that dvd for about an year now. Couple of months back, they were mightily thrilled when i bought them the hanuman mask that i found at landmark in forum. There was only one left in the shop when I wanted two. There were quite a few hanuman tails left though in the shop :-) the toy company seems to have had mixed success with their ploy of selling hanuman goodies. the tail was a buckle belt to tie around the waist & a long tail with black threads at the end (to simulate hairs). Even i did not like the tail as it was pretty bulky for kids to wear & run around. The mask though is cute & at 40 rupees or so, was a pretty good deal.

Since they got only one mask, we had asked them to share it & not fight over it. Of late we are buying them only one toy (& not a pair) deliberately so that they understand the concept of sharing things.

They were time sharing the mask since they got ready for school today morning. nidhi was wearing it at home when veena was dressing her up & putting her shoes while neha got to wear it down there.


it is kind of interesting that nidhi & neha (wearing a hanuman mask) were waiting for a maruti van that is driven by jairam uncle :-)
