Re: visit from nana, planet play, and more!

Here's the view from our house looking over Marin county...a full moon at dawn. And below, a lovely sunset.


The infamous Nana came for a visit, and read many books to the boys.

We took a trip to Tilden and rode the steam trains.


On the first day of spring, Dahrius's class presented an incredible play on the solar system. Dahrius played the planet........EARTH! Maman & Baba could attend the event.


Here comes Earth into the Milky Way!!
Earth and his moon (friend Lucienne)

Saturn (Ben) was very cute (below).

The sun (Avinashi in orange) was at the center of our solar system, and all the planets surrounded her.


Astronauts (Fiona & Rashi) landed at each planet from their rocket (above) and the planets told us something about them. Here are the planets (below) visiting Saturn...which smells like rotten eggs, in case you didn't know.
Now for Earth, who said perfectly, "I am Earth. I have water, land, oxygen, and birth. People and animals, flowers and trees, I have so much live living on me. Want to meet my moon??"



Then the stars all ran around the moon and were excessively cute.

Then each planet took an "orbit" around the sun.



A post-play congratulatory hug from Baba.



We also had an early birthday celebration with grandparents Mina and Monty, who can't come to the big birthday bash. Below is Ahrash's fantastic chocolate cake. MMMMMMM!


Dahrius got an awesome "Birdscapes" singing pop-up book which was and is quite a hit!

Everyone needs a snooze from time to time, especially my soon to be not-a-4-yr-old.
