Music lesson

Today, in the bed Sanjiv was trying to teach me some music notes. It was the re-telecast of the music class he had at school.The class went on for almost 10 min and I had to thank god for not having broken finger at end of the session.
His intention behind the class in the bed can be to
1. Buy some time to be awake
2. Get some sense of music into me.
3. Just practice session for him.

Whatever was the actual intention, I had good time and also knew what happened in the school. :)-

Innovative way to clean the house

My Son's innovative way to help me. In case you didn't get it how, look at his toys carefully. I am so happy about the way he thinks and executes....

Greeting from grandpa

Message to Sanjiv:
  Your thatha has put in lot of effort to learn the technology and send a beautifully signed greeting card to you. Hopefully you will appreciate his efforts one day.

Sugarcane tasting

For first time, Sanjiv tasted Sugarcane as part of Pongal celebration . He liked it but was too lazy to chew it...Next year I am sure he will enjoy eating it....

Happy B'day mama

A small conversion between us on 15th Jan.
Murali: 'Sanjiv, it is amma's b'day tomorrow'.
Sanjiv: 'Woh, I get presents and cake'
Me; 'Its my b'day. Can I know why you will get presents'.
Sanjiv 'Ok, then you wish for Buzz Lightyear toy. Then you share with me as we are family'
Me: 'Hmmmmm that sounds like a plan'.

I like the way he brings in the sense of family for his advantage. Anyway, on my b'day he got spiderman present and I had good time with him.

He went and told everyone in the school that it was my b'day. His school principal wished me and told me that he insisted that she should wish me. And he had promised to give her the cake. Today morning without failing he took a piece of cake for her. Happy that he keeps up his promises.

Foolish turtle story

I was reading out 'Foolish turtle' story to Sanjiv. Story goes like this,
A turtle wants to migrate to different place along with his two goose friends. So the geese comes with the idea of turtle holding onto a stick with its mouth, and the the two geese to fly with the stick. They agree to the plan and on the way, the kids make fun of the turtle. The turtle gets angry and shouts at the kids and alas, falls to ground. The book ends with the moral 'Dont talk if not needed '.
I was trying to explain the moral to Sanjiv and thud came the reply from him.
Amma the turtle should hold to the stick with his hands before speaking. Then he could have not fall down.....
Oh God...he has his own logic...Even though it is difficult to get my point out, I am happy with his logical thinking.

Vacation time

Yesterday, Sanjiv called me at work to inform me that it was December. Good reminder that he is growing up and from next year I need to plan a decent holiday for him.

Sanjiv: With full of excitement 'it is December, you know ?'
Me: 'Yes baby'
Sanjiv: 'So when will it snow.Tomorrow or Next week'
Hmmmm. too much of Disney and Santa cartoons.
Me: 'It doesn't snow in Singapore'
Sanjiv: 'Ok, then does it know snow only in India ?'
Me: 'No, there are other countries where there will be snow'
Sanjiv:Can we go there...
Me: In mind:Oh no...What shall I say...
       Sanjiv can we talk about this when I am home
Sanjiv:'Ok'
