Anika's stories ..
Again there was a gap but I have come back - this time I will draft a few stories together - as they cocured in the past -

----------------------
Me taking out some 1 dollar bills for parking payments - Anika watching me standing in front of the dresser.
Anika: Dada, you have so much money.
Me (holding 8 1 dollar bills and thinking I wish I did): yeah - isn't that too much?
Anika: Yeah
Me: I need these money to pay parking tickets when I park my car at the station before catching train.
Anika: But why do you need so much money?
Me: I need 2 bills every day - and I am taking out so much so that I am covered for the rest of the week.
Anika: But we did not pay anything when we went to chicago.
Me: (appreciating her memory): Yes - but that was a weekend when we went. For work days you need to pay.

Some day in the First week of October:
------------------------------------------
Me asking Pratima to remind me to get some money for parking fees.
Anika comes up with her pencil box and says I have money that I can give you - takes out some quarters and gives to me. These are not play coins these are real money Dada.
Me: Thank you mumma - I really needed it.

My Princess started to wear her glasses outside and today is the first time we came out - only her and
me - we went to costco at St Charles and on our way back we stopped at the Wind Mill Park in Batavia on Fabyan - we stopped by the wind mill and walked all the way and down. The wind mill was closed so we settled for posing in front of it instead.
On the wall the description of the wind mill was written and there was a word 'location' on it and Anika did not know what it meant. So I had to explain it to her and then on a later visit with Pratima she explained what it meant to her mom.
Isn't that cute?

Anika starts her ballet after a gap of 1.5 years - visibly excited in her new ballet dress.
She started going to Moves Dance school in North Aurora.

Today was yet another Saturday of grocery. But where it differed was on our way back we stopped at St Charles park and Anika got her park time. Pratima and Anika did swing for the first time together after Anika started doing swing all by herself. It was a fin evening.
We even went out to eat dinner after a long time. Though food was crappy - at Olive Garden. Anika had a fun unplanned evening.
There was option to do mini-golf there as well but we had to wait in the queue and we decided not to go for it.
Anika loved the St Charles River walk and the gazebo but we were appalled by its deterioration over these years - it was very dirty. But had fun going up and down the stairs.
