I learnt to Cycle!

My boy is a big boy! You suddenly get this realization when he progresses from a tricycle to a big cycle and finally instructs you to remove the side support wheels :)

So this fellow in all enthusiasm seeing one of his friends driving on two wheels instructs me on immediate basis to execute the task of removing the support wheels of his cycle, even though his feet don't touch the floor!

But mama, I am a big boy and can manage so please!!!

The process begins-

The ride is punctuated with squeals and laughter and lots of screams and don't let go pleads, followed by hold me, let me drive fast and wow....I am driving on my own!
This warrants lots of congratulations,kisses, hugs and the final show off session to papa...see I can drive :)

How he loves the independence and the fact that he has picked up cycling!

There are many such things which he would eventually learn, each followed by the same level of enthusiasm, but as of now, he is so happy with his current achievement :)

Like father,like son :)

I always thought my boy was more attached to me...but I just realized apart from the looks of his father he has also adopted his fathers mannerisms, eating habits,sleeping habits,TV habits and all other habits you can think of!

He wants to dress like the father,drive a car like the father and even taken to sports like his father so he may win medals like his father...


He looks upto his father for everything...opinions & thoughts.


Recently my husband was a part of stepthon a walking initiative of 10000 steps per day.My son,took to observing the pedometer to monitor the daily steps,following his father here and there & then started telling me "we still have 3000 steps left for the day",encouraging me to walk along :)


When my husband dresses for his cricket practice my little hero needs the same attire down to the colour of the socks!


He wants to put on his dad's cuff links, shoes and drive down to town.


Dad is the one who teaches him about car's, sports and many such tidbits where I am totally clueless... 


But the best part is I am included in the family hug time...so you know he loves me as well! :)

Formal Schooling Begins

My son starts his formal schooling years...enters the routine of school dress, school bags, black polished shoes, bus and all things related to it...

I am apprehensive, oh very much but is my boy loving it? Thrilled is the word! There is an excitement each day as he begins early in the morning :)


School has bought about lots of positivism and knowledge & understanding for things. He has never been a fussy eater and now he is all the more careful as he has learnt the basics of JUNK food and HEALTHY food.


Lots of fun activities include the bus journey, bus snack, colouring in school and new friends. 

The associated school extra curricular activities also make him happy and overall he is having a grand time!

Hope this happiness continues throughout or maybe once the homework starts the body aches and tiredness start :)
