Where is Simone?

The last two weeks Simone has been in India and is having a total blast. She just came back from visiting her paternal side of the family up West, where she was pampered like a Princess. No surprises there, as that is pretty much the same treatment she gets in my dad's home too...anything she wants, or looks at she gets. Over the last two weeks between visiting the paternal side of the family and spending time with my family -- we have accumulated at least 50 new games/toys/books, 5 pairs of shoes, and 20-25 new outfits for Simone. I have no idea how I am going to bring everything back. I think what will most likely happen is that 2.5 suitcases will contain Sim Sim's stuff, the remaining half of our three allowed suitcases will be my stuff with one small gift for Vic, who funded this trip ;).

Simone doesn't ask for eat the same food she eats in LA over here. She has never asked for Blueberries, Strawberries or even cheese ever since she has been here. She has been eating idlis, rotis, and all kinds of sweet stuff over here (will have to change that when we are back in LA). She has also picked up a few interesting tricks ever since we have been in India - she can climb up and down the stairs very easily now, she says bless you xxx(fill in your name) when you sneeze or cough, says good night and good morning, and she has also started to say mine or my for her things. The other day she opened my wallet and took out all the money and said ---"mommy my money...". I am still trying to think of a response. (No pics or videos to upload as the internet speed is very slow in India)
