I'm writing after a break of almost six months! A lot happened in these months. A lot has changed. We moved back to India. It was tough. It was stressful. It happened anyway. We are here now, adjusting to the new life in our good old city.
It was the hardest for San; the whole idea of moving back to India, leaving her life in US behind her. We tried to give her reasons and make her understand why we are moving. We tried our best. It's tough. She still wants to go back, and that is completely fine. The school life is obviously new. A totally different environment, routine, teachers, friends, studies; everything is different. She is coping with the changes at her own pace.
Changes happen. Life lets us cope with them our own way. Kids adapt faster but then you never know what's on their mind while they are busy adjusting to the changes. Maybe, there's nothing. Maybe, there's a lot going on. Things that they won't tell us. Things that they are afraid to say.
=====================================
Oli is her happy self, be it India or US. She is quite young to understand these changes. Changes don't bother her. New environment and people don't scare her. She goes with the flow. I wish I was like her! Although, she has been struggling with some skin issues since the time we landed in India. Still on but that doesn't make her any less mischievous. She is still our little hurricane, throwing things around and keeping everyone on their toes!

DeleteI can understand how difficult it is for all in the family especially kids.I know of a few cases where they went back because kids did not like and where they could.It is tough decision. So you are back at Bengaluru.
