Ashwini was waiting eagerly for today and so was Adit. They were quite excited that school started today. It was Ashwini’s first day in second grade and Adit’s truly first day at school in the Kindergarten class. A big milestone for Adit as this marks the end of just fun all day and more importantly no more afternoon naps. All the goofing off is finished. Now, it will be school followed by more school followed by work, career, family for about 50-60 years before there is time to just sit and goof off again. I hope he is ready for all this.

One of the favorite places for us to take kids is Harkness state park in Waterford, CT. We really like the open space to run around and fly kites along with the beach to have the option of water play. The mansion in this park is a popular place for people to get married and we have seen several wedding parties during our visits there. Also, Ashwini saw photos of someone getting married at Mystic aquarium when she went for Summer camp at the aquarium.
V was driving the kids to/from school when the following conversation went on.
Ashwini: Mommy, if we live in Connecticut, can I get married in Harkness park or Mystic aquarium?
V: Sure. You can get married anywhere you want.
Ashwini: Can I get married in New York or Michigan or how about India?
V: Yes. Anywhere you want. When you are older and want to get married, we’ll decide.
Adit: Ashwini, we should get married in India.
Ashwini: No way! You are not marrying me.
Adit: Why not?
Ashwini: Because, I am not your true love. You only marry your true love.

It was a nice rainy cool day to be out on a hunt for Monarch caterpillars. After going to several milkweed plants and finding many kinds of insects, snails, earthworms and slugs, we finally spotted what we were looking for. A Monarch caterpillar and an egg are new guests in our house.
This year, we didn’t order any caterpillars from Insectlore to watch them turn into butterflies. So, the kids are really excited to follow the progress of this caterpillar and the egg. Here are a couple of photos and expect several updates.
