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!

Catching up

The biginning of 2015 has been extremely exciting! You are running everywhere, you are talking long long sentences, using complicated conjuntions and clauses, you eat everything and play tricks with us. You get sick from dust and still give me sleepless nights not being weaned.
But it is so much fun! You are so much independent now, yet your dependence on me is so flattering. My love for you has grown infinitely. I love you the most, now!

First day at school

You were just happy to take a new waterbottle and a backpack somewhere.
You happily rode with baba in the car while I tagged you on the bike. He was going to office late so that he didn't miss your first day.
They just took you from your baba before anyone of us could realise what happened. And I could hear you wail my name, and rend my heart. As we four mothers waited outside ears sharp for your voices, you and your friends quietened. And in an hour, you were all out, to each of us mothers, one at a time.
And you kept telling me, how all kids were crying, how you said poems, and saw videos and how Manisha ma'am gave you a puppy toy.
Chhan ahe ani shunder ahe- you tell me about Manisha ma'am.
You like the school, but you are not used to not running to me every fifteen minutes. Plus seeing others cry distresses you. I am hoping all you kids settle down fast and start having tremendous fun.

Dudu

I was away gymming and you wanted dudu. And you wanted Baba to give it to you. So, he acted crazy and offered his nipple to you. And you bit him so hard, he almost cried. I find it strangely hilarious!

Anu

You tell your name with a clear enunciation, "Shaurya". But so far Aai's name was Aai and Baba's name was Baba. But yesterday when I taught you that Baba's name is Anu, you curled your lips and said "Onu". Like you say, "noi".
