TINTINCARRIED HIS SCOOTER AT ISH'S PLACE LAST NIGHT JUST TO SHOW THEM THAT HE HAS MASTERED IT :) CUTE.
TODAY HE ACCOMPANIED ME AND BABA TO THE RTO AND BEHAVED WELL....NO TANTRUMS AT ALL..BTW, HE HAD DISTURBED SLEEP LAST NIGHT....WOKE UP BY 4 AM ... SAID HE HAS PEED IN HIS TRACK PANTS. HAD TO CHANGE EVERYTHING..HIS TEES AND PANTS..EVEN AS WE COULD GO BACK TO SLEEP, HE ASKED ME TO PUT ON THE FAN...BUT BABA OBJECTED...SO WE BOTH MOVED TO ANOTHER ROOM AND SLEPT....BUT IT WAS HARDLY AN HOUR AND HE COMPLAINED THAT SOMETHING BIT HIM....I TRIED TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP AS WAS TOO SLEEPY MYSELF BUT HE DIDNT RELENT. HE ASKED ME TO APPLY BOROLINE ON THE WOUND,...SO SLEEPYEYED, I WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND APPLIED SOME COLGATE ON THE BITE...IT IS KNOWN TO SOOTHE PLUS TINTIN WOULDNT HAVE REALISED IT WAS WHAT ;) SOME CHEATING THERE EH...:) ANYWAYS, BY 530 AM HE WAS UP!!! AND INSISTED THAT I TOO GET UP....HAD UTTAPAM FOR BREAKFAST, CLEANED HIS TUMMY, HAD ONE MORE ROUND OF UTTAPAM BEFORE ACCOMPANYING US TO GET BABA'S LICENCE RENEWED :) CUTE

tintin got admitted in st kabir school today. we had a marathon interview session on saturday...almost 3 hour long...he had to undergo battery of tests...identify alphabets, numbers, colours, fruits, shapes, animals, et al....
he got to touch andbefriend the circus animals left behind near baba's house after the school session....he was thrilled and realised that the animals used their trunks to smell him :)

yesterday we checked out vintage cars at a show..sad, none of the pics taken could be saved! :(

there are good learnings and there are bad learnings....dnno what do i call his: sonnie asks me to get him the yellow chakra that mahadev used to chop off ganesha's head!!!!

the world is so simple for pre-graders: a stands for only an apple, nothing else! likewise b is for ball, et al....now learning Y, my three-and-half-yeare-old tells me...Y is for sunflower...after a while i realised he meant Y = yellow colour (of the sunflower)...i said yeah, Y = yellow. and S = sunflower. he promptly corrected me Sunflower = Y and not S !!!!!!!!!!!! :) some things are best left unexplained

 ---

he had  a good time with his cousin sagnik...they both spent some quality time together, running behind each other and fighting at times for the same toy/s :)

tintin is such a darling of brand's guy (that is what ish-saj keep saying), last night just as i pulled out whisper ultra pack, he says "whisper ultra soft!!!!" he is amazing, then he smiles
today his cousin sagnik is coming over, so tintin is super excited ;)

tintin z down with gastroenteritis...he was vomiting since two days...vomiting esp when he would go out to play and last evening he  was running 102 fever....he was restless last night. thankfully we visited the doc this morning and with medication, he should be fine. love him
today we also went to his school for his admission interview...prakash, the coveted school notjust in the neighbourhood, but in the city!!!! no questions were asked to him. it were to us!!! anyways, hope he gets in
although unwell, his teacher insisted that he be sent to school this morning so that he could witness a "dog show", he did and enjoyed. woof woof

tintin sang the birthday song for ishanee over the phone :)

tintin has picked up "Excuse me" :) dnno from where and he smartly uses it ;)
the other day baba offered me a chicken piece, i refused as i was stuffed, as baba turned away, tintin told me "maa erom koro na!" so i called baba back and took the piece in my mouth :)

we were at khushi;'s place last evening...tintin enjoyed every moment with the little child. later we all went for paani-puri (the duo had kori puris and LOVED IT it seems :)) and eventually took turns to ride either a RIDE-RIDE or a horse....

The other day he spotted a tube of KRACK cream and said ... ah, so you gonna use CRAP cream? ;) efforts to correct him yield no results :P

Sonja (i thought she was sonya, anyways...) shared this pic today. :) 

DECKED UP ELEPHANTS, DANCING MACAW, DOGS DOING GYMNASTICS, BLAH BLAH BLAH at the circus didnt amuse my three year old...perhaps he couldnt reckon with the animals in our world....he loves them in wilderness...the way they move around in IceAge or Madagascar or Dumbo or KingKong....animals are best when left on their own....they arent meant to amuse us or our children i believe. Circus isnt fun without them, people say, but then we can just get our ACTS right to still attract audience

took my son to circus :) he wasnt all that excited until he saw elephants, dogs, parrots in the act..sonnie befriended a dwarf too and kept calling him out even as the latter performed :)

my first onscreen hero SUPERMAN (first offscreen has ALWAYS been my dad)...saw him last night and showed him to my son...left awed and nostalgic. how he would fly and come to the rescue of anyone and everyone...sonnie too loved him...he is now confused...which one is he: superman, spiderman or batman? :)

tintin missed school-- day one of his school. he just wasnt in a mood it seems to go to school. although he was up, he was cranky when i asked him to dress up...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am @ work ..it is almost 11 pm. poor boy he wud be waitn for me. baba is baby-sitting him

mansi called this morning. after a brief chat, tintin tells me"I WANT TO GO TO AUSTRALIA TO MEET MANSI AUNTIE|S BABY!"


Last evening during the prime time debate on TV sonnie says: OH, they are back to fight on tv! :)

he has been peeing in his pants since last two days..he gets so engrossed while playing, he forgets to raise an alarm!!!!

every night before finally dozing off, tintin tells me" maa, ami tomar baby" :) and i gotta repeat that..it is kinda ritual :) and i love it when he says that
