Dog Ishu

Good morning from the cozy, cozy couch in the cozy, cozy San Ramon home.

Ankur just left to go visit a program he’s applying to. And I’m sitting on the couch, listening to the crazy sounds of dog Ishu upstairs.

Yes, that’s right. “Dog Ishu.”

Kid Ishu never wants to brush his teeth. But if for some reason, you play “Dog” with him. He will follow all the commands like a little puppy.

The things you do to get your kiddos to do some basic things. Ha.

We had a fun, relaxing day at home yesterday. We walked to the park in the afternoon and then Jen, Juan, Ila and Juna came over for dinner. It was a literal DREAM to watch the three of the kids play together. The adults were sitting down at the table talking and we could hear the kids upstairs playing and every-so-often run downstairs to tell us a joke or show their face.

I loved it the most.

At one point, the three of them gathered together in his bed and kept shouting POTATO. I guess that was the entire joke. Who knows? But it was making my heart melt so much.

I want more of this in my life.

And now, it’s another relaxing day at home. The sun is shining. The sounds of the kids upstairs with the grandparents is making me feel SO HAPPY.
