Best people

2R

Among the close ones, we celebrated our 7th anniversary in Kangan Restaurant. It was 9th May 2007, we tied the knot to hold each other's hands and we have been holding one another for the past seven years. Sometime there were difficult times, situations that tested our courage and our unity. We both were brave enough to overcome those difficulties. So, here we are today, our love and devotion for one another are heightening. With our patience and perseverance, we have been able flip those negative aspects into positive angles. We have learned that whatever happens, happens for good.

Rachi's 3 years 4 and 5 months- Too busy time...

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

The year 2013 came with lots of hustles, Renu had received her assignments and deadline from her uni. I was busy preparing for my CCNA exam after passing JNCIA.Besides we have made quite a number of friends during these times, so spent lot of time in socializing and dining out. Rachida, in the other hand, showed remarkable growth in her physical and mental status.

Rachi pushing Me Hang

 Rachi is so much into cooking, she watches cooking shows on youtube for hours and has set up her own kitchen with cabinet drawer and her kitchen toys. She sometimes pretends to run her  own cooking shows. She serves mock food and we have to pretend to eat/drink and say "yummie".

I love Marigold

Smile!

Rachi also has learnt a lot of Chinese by now. She can sing a number of chinese songs taught in her school. She is the best in her batch in singing, even the teachers and the principal say that. She really has an aptitude for dancing and singing. As for the studies, she now can write A-Z capital letters, confusing some of them, which we believe is good for her age(Specially, when we learnt that at double of her age).. 

At KP

Rachi most of the time is calm and peaceful. But sometimes she kicks fight with Renu, because she resists to her requests and  activity. She starts calling "naughty Renu"  and seeks papa's help. She says "you are No mama and papa is yes papa". But whenever she wakes up and doesn't she mama, she starts wailing "mama". During her deep sleep, Renu likes to disturb her by asking "how much you love mama", she replies "this much" with her hands stretched even in her deep sleep. 

Rachi's friends circle is Suzane, Numa, Neon, Sezna, Sahyog. She plays with them in the park after school. Along with the children, parents also have became friends to each other. Somebody always brings snacks for  all the children by turn, although there is no agreement as such.

Rachi has learnt some bad words in Nepali like "saale kutta, saale, etc." definitely from her school mates. We have been worried about it and have been dealing with her and hope we can stop her from using such words. It's very difficult to filter children's learning at this stage when they are starving to learn.
