Maya knows something's up. Obviously we've told her we're Blighty-bound but haven't gone into masses and masses of details. But a couple of days ago she demanded that her Little Prince suitcase be brought down from the top of the cupboard and she's been packing and re-packing since then: 3 books, a bouncy ball, a t-shirt and 2 pairs of pants. All the essentials.
Having said that, Maya continues to well and truly live for the moment, in that wonderful way that only children are capable of. She is full of talk of her friends at school, the songs they are learning and ongoing demands for chai and cake. I had a chuckle yesterday when I picked her up yesterday as her teacher Paula told me that she was eyeing one of the little boy's, Eeshan's, snack boxes at break time which was filled with chappati and jam. Eeshan told her that she could try some if she gave him a kiss. She didn't even think about it....ah, the pull of chapatti and jam!
