Goodbye

Hello. Now I am six! I'll be starting a new blog some time, since this is only the blog of a five-year-old. Today is Friendship Day, by the way.

Thank you, Linta!


Linta made these hats for us all by herself.

Thank you Linta and Roop

Love Dolphins


Dear Dadi, thank you for the new lehenga. It is fantastic! I'm sending you three love dolphins. The hearts come from one dolphin, that dolphin is me, the one which is rainbowy.

Thanksgiving Pics



Thanksgiving Day. Dad and I went for a walk on Vassar Farm. I made faces at Dad, and called him a turkey, and then I ran away.

Dear Dadi, I Went to an Indian Wedding


This is an Indian horse and soon the bridegroom will climb on to the horse. It was very, very cold, so I still had to wear my jacket. Then, we went inside. This is my Bua singing

Fall Colors




I went for a picnic on a hill with Dare, who is a teenager, of course. And Sammie and Lisa. Later, I was Sammie's helper when he grilled meat. You can see Mia, the dog, in the picture. She ate two mouses, which was disgusting.

Dollhouse

Hello. This is my new dollhouse. It has three floors. And my doll has a skirt that has frills. My Barbie's name is Flora. Come and play! There is a sparkle somewhere in the dollhouse. You need to find it.

Zoo

The pink bracelet that Nyle is wearing, I'm wearing one too. But you can't see it in the picture. The bracelet allowed us to ride on the zoomomobile. Nyle is my cousin.

Saya!

Dear Saya,

My grandmother made this doll but I helped her with the stuffing and other kinds of work. Are you going to be in my kindergarten class, Saya? If you are, you'll see the real doll when I bring her to school for "rest time." I miss you, Saya.

Love,
Ila

Babeesh, My Grandmother

This is a scrap of cloth that Babeesh gave to me; she's using it for a nightie or a dress. This is my picture of Babeesh. In this picture, I've made a dress for Babeesh. You can call it a nightie or a dress, whatever you want it to be, folks!

For the United States of America

My Doll

Saya may know a girl called Sadiya, but this girl's name is Fadiya. Faizi drew this for me.

Science Center


Well, I went to Ontario Science Center today. It was stupendous. I'm now looking forward to going to the zoo. And to partying!

A Walk in the Park

Even though I want to show you this picture I took on the way to the park yesterday, I'd rather play a game called "Zingo!" I beat everyone at this game, including Faizi. It's raining outside and I have a runny nose. I got an injection yesterday. My arm really hurts from the vaccination and feels gummy.

A Girl with a Camera



Three games. The first game goes: is this a new camera or an old camera? The second game is: is the camera mine or is it my Dad's? And third, who do you see in this picture?
Answers: This is a new Kidz Cam. It is my camera and this is a picture I took of myself!

I'm in Toronto

Nana is not in the hospital any more. He's going to buy mangoes for me today. Guess what? I didn't go to school today either. Ha-ha, ha-ha.
I have been watching TV, Treehouse, my favorite channel in Canada. (Except that I don't like "The Mole Sisters.") Actually it's only my first favourite. I don't know the name of my second favourite channel, but "Words" comes on it.

Squirtle

I have an announcement: my turtle is actually called Squirtle.

Friday, August 1, 2008

Bye Bye Poocha

Bye-bye Poocha. Bye-bye Roop. Bye-bye Linta. Bye-bye my room in Brooklyn. Bye-bye New York City. (But not bye-bye Mom or Dad because I can't drive away by myself.)
Toronto, here I come!

Sunset Park



Uncle Yemi took these pictures. Mama was helping me make a flower crown. Then I put some of the flowers in Baba's hair. Also, I don't want to go to school.

Squirt, the Turtle

This is Squirt in his tank next to his tree which has fallen down into the water. Today, after school, Dad took me again to Coney Island. If you've been to Coney Island, you might have seen turtles being sold on the street. Squirt is tiny as a quarter or maybe a little bit bigger. I have to change the water every two days, feed him a pellet of food every two days, and always wash my hands before I take him out of the tank to touch him. Squirt is also the name of my teacher Gwen's turtle. If you're Saya or one of my friends, you will know Gwen. Tonight Squirt is going to sleep in his box near the window.

Get Well Soon

Nana and Dadi are both in hospital. I want them to get well soon. Signed, Little Heart.

It's the Weekend




Before I went out to ride my bike, I pretend-blowdried Mama's hair. Sujata Aunty, Rain's mom, sent me the beauty kit. It was a surprise! My bike's name is Sapphire.

Back to School

Mama tricked me. She said we would go on an adventure but instead she took me to school. Super darn it! Now I've to go to school tomorrow too because my second-favorite teacher said that it will be her birthday.
