Shoba Niranyo

When Eli finishes his bath these days we wrap two towels around him....one draped over his head and the other wrapped around his body.  He has the option of being a Thirumeni (bishop), Achen (priest) or Jedi Knight (jedi knight), and lately he's been choosing Achen.  When we pick him up out of the bath tub we usually spend a moment looking in the mirror and Eli says "Dada, I want to sign shoba niranyo"....which is his reference to the call to worship that usally starts our church services.   It's so cute because he makes me sing the whole thing and he tries his best to sing along too.

A funny side story I just got from Gina is this: Gina and Eli were on their way to Chicago and Gina told Eli that his velyappacha (great grandfather) was there but that he only spoke Malayalam.  She asked Eli if he could speak in malayalam to velyappacha....and Eli said "Mama, I will say 'Shoba Niranyo'".  Unbelievable, this kid.
