The first week Meera arrived in Boston, I took her to the children’s Park at the end of our street. Thought she’d be shy and I was ready to coax her, but was I surprised. It took her 2 seconds to survey the environs before she attacked the stations and ricochet’d all over the place. She HAD to try everything in this Park … now!
Meera gets to the park with Amma nearly every day (except when its pouring). In dealing with other kids in the Park, Meera is less the demure Shakuntala and more Don Meera. So we have our work cut out for us. Enjoy Meera pics from her first week here.
A few Meera posts:
- Meera And Phlox, … on the way to preschool
- Meera goes to School
- Meera goes to the Mall
- Meera: How to get a bicycle
- Air Meera
- Short Video: Meera Enjoying Limbu Soda
- Meera at the Zoo
- Meera in Red
- Meera Turns One
- Riding the beetle
- On the swing
- Every time she smiles, my heart skips a beat.
- She loves going through the tunnels
- “I can do monkey bars”
- A rare moment of thoughtfulness before she buzzes off to the next station
- Meera loves to hide in this tunnel
- Meera does not understand slow ~ even here she goes on a teeth rattling buzz
- … and slides down with gusto
- The monkey bars scare me; Meera screams, “Don’t hold me; don’t hold me!” *dhud* Even falling off the monkey bars does not deter her.

Good to see Meera enjoying in Boston. I have been following your blog since long and looking at Meera’s pictures feels like a child from my family growing up so fast. Meera must have made a lot of new friends now.
Thank you for sharing that Priya.
Meera certainly has a way of ensnaring all with her charms; her school teachers, our friends and her classmates are no exception. She is still learning english and making friends at a furious pace. If only I can get her to slow down and relax , … and drink milk.

What a doll! She reminds me of ME w/her short hair.
Pure LOVE!
Ha ha! Thank you.
We want to grow her hair out, but Meera insists she wants short hair, so she can be a boy?!!!?
Yes, our joy, our life.

Hi Meera. Have more and more fun in the park. Hugs from your unknown grandma.
Thank you Prabha-mai for your blessings to Meera. And thank you for enlightening us with your recipes and information about the konkani festivals.
Namaskar,
