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 :)

My Friends...

My boy has a best friend,a brother friend,a good friend...and several other categories of friends...but they all his friends!

Childhood friendship is such an amazing thing,its just so pure & innocent.Their games are silly but so funny....hugging & crushing,throw & fetch,mummy & baby,hanging from bars like a monkey to become a tall boy,cycling and all time favourite car race.

I fail to understand the relationship between boys and cars,but you leave a bunch of them together and you're free for hours :)

He meets in friends in school and the chit chat starts right at the time of boarding the bus...with so many important things to discuss about the day gone by.

Evenings are spent running around here & there,playing,hearing stories from one of the mom's or cycling...a peaceful existence with friends!

Life's joy...our friends...the best part about childhood days!

I am 3!!!

My boy is 3 years,time flies...He is so big now,understanding n number of things,having his own circle of friends & trying to take his own decisions,provided his bossy mother doesn't interfer.

He is developing his vocabulary and makes a complete attempt to converse with us in high end English and ends up sounding adorable.

He has an opinion about things & wants to be a part of all our conversations...wanting to know this & that.

Everyday with him leaves me amazed as I wonder where did he learn this from or whom did he pick this up from.

He & his set of close friends have their own set of coversation & important discussion wherein we are not privy of the same....

How they grow up so fast has left me amazed...he doesn't fit into my arms any more...my little tall boy!
 

Stoi Time...

I have a bed time ritual with my son wherein I read out a story to him or make up one for his benefit...
Till a long time I wasn't sure if he comprehend anything I said but I still told him a story each night.The stories always had the same beginning and I included characters and things he liked.

Now that my son is two and started talking I realize he knows all those stories and makes an attempt to tell me those.

So its..."mama stoi...kai (car) stoi..gogie(a cat with the name gorge),bus stoi,topas(Thomas engine) stoi sunnao."
He makes himself comfortable in my lap,"mama dodhi" and starts of as "ek barr.." waiting for me to complete the same.

These story sessions are the best cuddle times we have together...

My First Day at School

My little boy starts school today. He is so excited about it as I dress him up in his little white uniform.He is thrilled to have a new dress to wear and dances around on the bed in enthusiasm. As I pack his bags, he wants to check out everything. I write his name on his ID card and try to pin it up on his dress, he doesn't like this as it is spoiling his new clothes. He pulls and throws it away as I smile down at him. I help him put on his white socks and clean his shoes till they shine, prim and proper he is all dressed for school.

As we leave for school, I am a bit nervous and apprehensive. I will be leaving  him alone with a crowd of strangers. As he settles down in this new environment, he will build new friends and new confidates. A favourite teacher to guide him along the way and take care of him as I am away. He will pick up many new things at school and learn many new lessons, develop new habits and engage his curosity to the maximum. Away from home, in a new world my son will grow and become a new person.

Each day as I ask you what did you learn today, you may shrug your shoulders and walk away or excitedly share with me some stories for the day. I look forward to all these moments and hope you have a lovely and fun filled journey ahead.

I walk you down to school and you give me a little peck on the cheek as I carry you along. I love you my little boy and together we being a new phase in your life singing our favourite song..."Lets go to the school, learn some lessons!!! La La La....Lets go to the school right now!"
