We arrived in America on June 23, 2010 on China Eastern Airline in Los Angeles Airport. Grandma and Papa came to pick us up from the airport. Our next stop before arriving at Uncle Marshall and Auntie Mei's place was Ichiban to get sushi for lunch!
Elijah's first question (in sign language) after arriving in America was, "Where are the chickens?" I think he was struck by the fact that there were no animals roaming around the streets and no chickens to chase. But, his question soon got replaced with his new favorite words, "park," and "outside!" There was a nice park near where we were staying and Elijah loved going to the park.
Interestingly, we've been back in India now a little over two weeks and he has yet to mention the park, but while we were in the States, he couldn't get enough of it! Right now, he still mentions the names of his cousins, uncles, aunts, grandma, papa, halbiya (hal-ah-buji), hal-miya (hal-mu-ni), and some friends he made. He also mentions the ocean. But, surprisingly, no parks. Interesting....
The first friend Elijah got to see was Justin Lee. Justin was born a month ahead of Elijah. Elijah had a blast with Justin. It was kind of interesting to see how similar they were in their interests and in the ways they played with each other. We hope to see more of you Justin in a couple of months!
