Childrens' day with Tin-Tin!

So..we celebrated Sparsh's third childrens' day with a movie! Yes, our first full movie in a Theater with Sparsh :-).

And we bought him a McDonald's playset...and he is grinning cheek to cheek!!!

Doraemon!

Finally...Doraemon has captured our living room too!That damn thing plays on TV the whole day long and my lil boy who used to hate watching TV has suddenly become a big fan of this twenty second century cat!

But let me tell you..I like watching the episodes too..kind of a stress-buster for me as well..only if Nobita cried a lil less :-).

Nose Job!

Nose Job..but of a different kind! So the little genius was playing with my mother's "Churan golis" and was perfectly fine. Suddenly I saw a green discharge from his nose. A totally alarmed me looked at it closely and was shocked to notice that it smelled like churan. Sparsh got scared looking at my expression and immediately started pretending that he is asleep and not aware of anything that he has done to his nose.

It was close to 11pm and my father made some frantic calls to the ENTs that he knew but none was available at that hour. Finally I myself tried to push that big churan goli out of his nose by applying slight pressure. The goli was out after 20 minutes, but thru those 20 minutes I felt like I was operating a major surgery in the OT. And the lil genius was back to jumping right after the goli was out!

Jab aap chote bachche the!

So...Sparsh has a fair good remembrance of the things that have happened in the last one year if his life.And the way he refers to a thing from the past is- " jab aap chote the na tab aisa hota tha" instead of saying that "jab main chota tha!".

It sounds really funny when he tries telling that to my 78 year old grandmother...something like.." jab aap choti thi na to main aap ke saath mandir jaata tha!"

Musical Instinct!

Sparsh can sing..or at least hum very well :-). he seems to be fond of the hindi songs with traditional music. Some of his current favourites being-
1. Saiyan..nainon kibaten samjhen na....
2. Thandi hawa..kaali ghata...
3. Bade achche lagte hain..ye dharti

I guess effect of the latest serials running on the TV.

True Indian!

Sparsh's enthusiasm about Independence was such a pleasant sight. Thanks to the pre-school he has started recognizing the Indian flag and can sing "Hum honge kamyab" with lil bit of prompting :-)

He dressed in white for Independence day celebration at school and enjoyed the motichoor ladoos!

On Top of the world!

 

Sparsh has already been tothe world's highest motorable road in the world (khardungla and changla pass)! He was such a darling on our adventure holiday to Ladakh!

Naarangi- our first Pet!

So..we have a new addition to the family!! Our pet goldfish-Naarangi :-)
We actually got it from Sparsh's playschool as Mother's day gift. Sparsh is delighted about his first pet!

McDonalds!

We were told that Mcdonalds' logo is the first logo most toddlers recogonized. Soon we got a live demo. Sparsh not only recognizes the logo he has become extremely fond of french fries. So much so that on our recent trip toLadakh he would call for the waiters on his own and ask them to serve him mcdonalds. When the waiters looked at him in surprise he would explain- "french fries!".

Rhyme time

Sparsh has finally started liking rhymes and can sing quite a few now. He seems to like Baa Baa black sheep in particular!They sing a song in school just before its time to go home which goes like- " School is over, go home now! Come to me tomorrow...."...Sparsh keeps singing it thru the day!
