Lesson learnt

Today by mistake I poked Sanjiv's eye while bathing him. I felt so bad and immediately I asked for forgiveness. Even after asking sorry, I didn't feel good. I told 'I am so sorry. It was by mistake'. The way he responded was like a matured adult. Or even more. He said ' Amma it's ok. I was playing. You didn't do anything'. At that moment I regretted how I have behaved at times when he has hit me with something while playing. I have lost my temper many times. I feel shame of those times. Another lesson learnt.

It feels so nice when you are offered lift to ride in your three old 's bicycle :)-

Sanjiv's creations

This is Taxi....
Now don't ask me why the lights are bigger than the taxi body....
Maybe this model is designed for Indian roads.This way the scratches on body can be reduced.

Lantern for mid-autumn celebration....

Negotiating or Bribing

In order to get most of the important/regular job done, I need to do some negotiation with my son...You can even call it bribing..Like, to make him drink his milk/eat, need to switch on the TV. To make him stop doing something, I need to bribe him with some other things mostly gems..To get him out of the pool need to negotiate really hard. With that kind of negotiation we can close million dollar deal....
Yesterday morning in order to get his big stinky job done, i was trying to negotiate the deal...He got up bit late...so I didn't want to him to sit on the top of the commode for ages..so I told him, finish your export job as quickly as possible then I will let him have bubble bath for 10 min....so he got his work done pretty quickly and also came out of bubble bath in 10 min...In the night, just when he was about to sleep, suddenly he said, he wanted to go for export job...I was like for a moment 'NOW' ?...then i said ok come...after making him sit, he said, 'Amma can i have bubble bath'...that's when it stroke me...he was planning to have bubble bath.....i had to get it straight...I told him clearly that bubble bath will be only on Saturday's and no exception will be entertained...He understood that no way I am going to give in, he said he doesn't feel like going anymore and he was too sleepy....Kids !!!!!!!!!

Updates

Yesterday, when we came back from Movie around 9.30pm,both the lifts in our lobby were not working.The security guard told us that it will take atleast 30 min for it to be fixed. Sanjiv hadn't had his dinner nor evening milk. So, I insisted that I will take him home by stairs. I had all the intention of carrying him. But my strong boy refused to be carried and he climbed all 12 floors.....

Now-a-days Sanjiv gets into the pool by himself and tires to swim wearing his life jacket though. Maybe we should try to put him in swimming class before he gets too used to life jacket....

At school they are teaching him traffic signals...so at home to make him do anything we have to first say 'Green' and to make him stop doing something we have to say 'Red'....And in car he was said 'Daddy it is Yellow, slow down'...Hmmmmmm I like it...

I dont know from where he learned this, Murali was driving and he was holding the steering wheel with one hand....Sanjiv immediately said this with little demo, 'appa hold like this with two hands'....

More updates to come....Stay tuned....
