Hong Kong Disney World Resort

As his 3rd birthday gift, we took Sanjiv to HK disneyworld resort. He had more fun than usual as he had company of our friend's son. Both of them had a blast. Both of them were also equally naughty.
He enjoyed the park but not in the true sense of enjoying Disney. Maybe he should be bit older. He enjoyed it just like he enjoys any open space. We got excited seeing all the Disney characters esp, the beautiful Cinderella and sleeping beauty and also the Mickey gang...but he got very scared on seeing the characters. He refused to stand alone with the characters to take a pic. As usual he enjoyed the rides, esp the merry-go-round...Firework show was able to make him sit glued to ground for 20 min....
Over all the trip was good....

Happy birthday my son.

Happy birthday Sanjiv. 20th Aug 2008 was the first day my eyes saw u, my hands held you, my skin felt your breath. It is 3 years but still I can exactly tell how I felt seeing you for first time. I will remember and recall those moments on all your birthdays to come. I will even tell that your kids. I was speechless, I was tensed, I was afraid to touch the most beautiful thing I have ever seen , I was crying, I was smiling, I was breathless. I was experiencing all the emotions related to happiness. Today It was nice feeling to hug you. To get a kiss from you. I wish to spend all you birthday by getting a kiss from u as the first thing in the morning. Love you son. Have a long and wonderful life. Be happy.

Bond with teacher

As usual I went to drop Sanjiv at school. As soon as we entered the class, his teacher was not to be seen and another teacher was handling the early comers. She informed me that his teacher was on sick leave and will be coming back on Monday and today she is the one who will be taking care of the class. As I was about to leave, Sanjiv came and asked me ' Where is my teacher ?'. I told him what I was told and then he reacted to it in the least expected way. He started to cry that he wants only his teacher..he refused to accept the new person as his teacher and insisted that I have to be around. She is not new face. He has seen her as another class teacher. It is nice to see the type of bonding he has developed with his teacher Ms Nicole. He trust and believe in her. Which is the most important thing and that kind of bonding gives a nice comfort to me as a parent. I wish that this bonding between him and his teacher grow stronger and lead him to right direction. 

Zero....

As they say Zero is most important invention in the number system, I didn't bother to teach a three old about Zero...Even though 0 is important but it is not something u will begin counting with, I ignored it....I was sure that he knows to count from 1-20....and knows what is numbers and alphabet
Today morning while driving me and my hubby were discussing on something and this Zero word popped up.....The so long silent listener, our son Sanjiv immediately said Zero....in a teasing way I asked him, "so what is Zero dear"...Immediate response...not even a seconds delay...'mama it is number'...luckily I was driving and Murali was sitting beside Sanju & could have not see my face going dhoooom.....One more lesson learnt, never never under estimate your child....As a child they learn from everyone and everything they come across...and use it when necessary.
Curious to know from where he learnt that, I asked him, who though u this...in a cool manner, he said, 'My teacher'.... I felt happy that he is enjoying his school which got reflected in his words My teacher....

Sanjiv has finally started to go to swimming pool....doesn't mean that before he didn't enjoy..it was just that he never liked to come to deep pool...he always loved to be in baby pool....few days back he agreed to wear life jacket and jump into deep pool....and now the challenge is to get him out of the pool....
yesterday he and his dad got into pool few minutes before me...as I was about to get into the pool,heard Sanjiv scream 'amma I am here, be careful, watch out, the pool is deap'...hmmmmm..I simply told him not to worry and I will definitely take care..
