Fancy Dress!

So it was fancy dress time at school again and this time the theme was "community helpers". We deliberated over a lot of roles and then zeroed down on "Policeman" partially because of the availability of costume and also because of Sparsh's slight interest in guns.

The dude looked cute in the attire and now he firmly wants to become a policeman when he grows up!

The independence in field trips!

I am glad that Sparsh is very fond of his playschool. he likes his sense of independence and was simply overjoyed about the recent school field trips to a Nursery, Aeronautics Museum and a Fire Station. The excitement stayed for days and he is now an authority on plants, air-crafts and fire-brigades :-)

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!
