Playing with food

Shaurya is eating poli bhaji. He eats around the corners and makes a triangle.
"Aai, bagh, volcano!" He shouts. I am proud. I smile at him. He inverts the triangle, takes it to his pelvis, "Aai, bagh, chaddi!" I facepalm.

Pop up

I am taking tuition for the neighbourhood kids. I am telling Sahib the past of "leave" is "left" . And suddenyl one small head with bright eyes pop up from between the two sofa handles, "Ma'am, jaise Shrushti left the tuition".
Shaurya has made this space between the sofas his nook.

ABCD2

You have gone crazy watching Prabhu Deva and team dance. It began with Shake it up from ABCD. You won't stop going "sorry sorry sorry". And now you are doing elaborate dance sequences like Varun Dhawan while watching " Bejubaa".
It is so much fun to watch you just take it a level up all the time!
