Things we take for granted!

The list never ceases to grow.

New in 2015:
1.  Playing with other kids is really no big deal now.  During recess/playground time he is commonly found playing "hot lava monster"/"wall-ball" with other kids in his class.
2.  We watched the entire Cricket world cup 2015 together ("Dream come true").  Our hearts filled with joy as he would yell "Out!  Out!"  when a batsman of an opposing team got out.  He fully understood and appreciated the rules (e.g. power play), the strategies (e.g. save your wickets for the end), and the joy that comes from rooting from your country (India) against your arch-rivals (Pakistan/Australia)
3. Loves to play cricket with Baba.   Did I already mention:  'Dream come true"?
4. The twins routinely spend time together doing "kid" things like playing scrabble, or painting rocks.  Sister is super-happy!
5. Tried out "wall climbing" at a nearby park.  Maintained a great attitude even as it was hard in the beginning.  Any time we go back to this park now,  Aditya is sure to go wall climbing!
6. Takes the lead in helping around the house!  No complaints, young man:)

Each and every one of those is a huge accomplishment. 

We are immensely grateful for each of them, and are fully aware that we could not take these for granted only years ago.

And now a question for you... what are the things you take for granted?  Think of the times you had to work hard for those?  Take a moment and enjoy this moment, then go work on adding to the list of things you can take for granted.  

That is exactly what Aditya has been doing for us over here.  And if he can do it, so can you and I!
