*2 weeks later December 23, 1993*
Siva's POV:
Max & I decided to put Tom in school in January. He had short teachings at the adoption center and his speech seemed great for a five year old. It was just Tom, Nathan, & I today while Max had to go to a photo shoot.
We were currently watching old Mickey Mouse cartoons. Tom laughed at the old Donald Duck every time he came on. Nathan still didn't laugh nor say anything, but was learned to stand last week. Max and I are trying to teach him to walk, but he just can't yet.
Papa! Papa! Look its snowing!! Tom said from the window.
I got up with Nathan in my arms, and sure enough snow was falling.
Can we go play outside? Tom asked hopefully.
I don't know its going to be cold, Tom. I said.
Please? Just for a little while? Tom asked his eyes begging me to say yes.
10 minutes. Go put on a coat, boots, a beanie, and mittens. I told him as he ran upstairs.
Nathan touched the window pointing at the snow, and looked up to me.
You want to go too don't you? I asked him laughing.
Alright. Let's go get in some warmer clothes first. I told him walking upstairs. I dressed Nathan in a small coat, boots, a beanie, and mittens and then put a coat and boots on myself. I'm ready Papa! Tom called from downstairs.
Alright. I said opening the doors.
Tom ran out & dived in the snow. He started to make a snow angel. Nathan squirmed wanting to touch the snow so Tom got up, and held some out to him
See this Nath? It's called snow. Tom told him. I squatted down to allow Nathan to stand in the snow, and he tried to sit down in it.
No. I said picking him back up and standing.
He made a face of protest, but I didn't want him cold & wet.
SNOW ANGLE! A voice of a little boy yelled running over to Tom.
JAMES! A woman ran after him called.
Wow!! Cool snow angle! James said to Tom.
It's called Snow Angel, not angle. Tom said.
Say thank you Tom. I told him as James and him laid down making snow angels together.
I'm sorry. He see's something he likes and runs after it. The woman said.
I laughed, and extended my hand "Hi I'm Siva Kaneswaran-George."
Hi Siva. I'm Maureen McGuiness. I know who you are. I've seen modeling pictures! ! Maureen said shaking my hand.
Whose this little cutie? Maureen asked looking at Nathan.
My son Nathan and my other son over there is Tom. I said as Nathan hid his face in my chest shyly.
Aww too shy? Maureen cooed at Nathan.
I laughed and Nathan looked up to give her a shy smile.
So how old are your children? James is 3. Maureen asked.
Tom is 5, and starts school in January and Nathan here is 8 months old. I said as Tom and James started a snowball fight.
Maureen and I watched them for awhile until Maureen and James had to go home. We exchanged numbers so that Tom & Jay could be friends.
C'mon Tom let's go get some tea to warm up. I said as Tom ran inside.
Nathan still squirmed in my arms wanting to be in the snow. I took off one of his mittens, and squatted down so that he could touch it. As soon as he did he shivered and I stood up laughing.
And that's why I didn't let you sit in it. I said as Max came home.
We made some tea, and Tom told Max about his day. Then we all cuddled on the couch and watched Peter Pan.
