tintin has chicken pox since five days now....after restless night on december 25, and cooing, he wakes up to show me how mosquitoes have bitten him on his tummy. while giving him oil massage before bath, yet another boil on his right shoulder sends alarm bells ringing... in no time, i see blisters all over!!! doc just confirmed it! tintin calls it mutton pox though! because we had mutton on dec 25th, the day raju and all came over for dinner....he is confined indoors, yet being very patient with the whole thing. he cried terribly on dec 28 when all the kids in the neighbourhood celebrated new year....:( felt very bad for him and a pizza from domino's did little to soothe him:( anyways, as a bonus, i bought him krissh dvd...meanwhile, some one-liners during these four days..... Happiness: when a 4 year old realises a pencil can be sharpened both ways (this happened this morning...as i made him study :) One of those mornings when he suddenly feels like playing with one particular toy that is lying underneath hundred others. ...... 0:) Tintin is of the opinion that "sorry" is the national language of india. And so is "okay"!!!!!! 0:) While watching munnabhai mbbs he who is confined indoors owing to mutton pox, tells me Apun ko neeche jane de!!!! He sees me sipping in turmeric milk almost immediately after we finish painting a yellow sun..... And wonders if i am having the coloured water left after painting B-) I tell him mera gala toot raha hai as in sore throat.... He says ohhh so in no time it will break and i will have to find a New mom!!!!!

i get him his DHOOM3 bike and a boat as he prepares for bath. he looks at me and sayd : GOOD JOB!" brrrrrrrrrrrrr

tintin dressed up as a footballer for his annual fair...wore his messi jersey and recited five lines....about the game...there are domestic and international leagues. some famous footballers are messi, ronaldo, beckham and baichung bhutia. footballers have to wear shinpads, stockings and studs. goalkeepers require special gloves for keeping. manchester united is the most popular football team.
he did well it seems, his teacher told me. then he also recited it for me as i went there as a guest :) love him 

accompanied tintin to his school for christmas celebrations this morning. his teacher seemed to be mighty impressed with him. i observed that he is a very well behaved boy..touchwood. dsnt push or poke his classmates like some guys did....he dsnt even known offensive words unlike his peers (i realised). he loved to  get to be with a santa (a senior student from the school) ....

i will accompany tintin to school tomorrow...for christmas celebrations
i love him. it is a pleasure to be with him, see him grow up and spend time with him
yesterday, although it was sunday, i snaked out early morning for an early morning assignment. but was home by 9am and tintin was right there at the door waiting for me. he was so thrilled to see me and with the idea of getting to spend the whole day with me :) mooah to him

he cleaned himself for the first time after poop ;)
he said yucks...i asked him to hold on and he did :) and then washed himself well :) mooah to him. 

he got himself a "harley davidson" :)
i took him to the harley showroom to show him the bikes .... actually, he counted 1-100 almost perfect on our way back from bopal to bodakdev this morning and i was pretty amused and amazed. we had a deal...he had to finish counting before we would hit the main road and he did!!! so as a token of appreciation, he got the bike :) pretty nice han!! ;)

btw, he missed school..thanks to me. i overslept!!! :((((((((( zzzzz

the other day, i sent him to school on a holiday (actually, his school was closed owing to new admissions)...so when i went to fetch him, he told me "mum, thanks for coming to school to get me!!!" khoool !!!

moooaaahhhh

we painted his palms on chart papers and got them framed....yooohoooo. looks very niceeee.. :)

You can change your ears, he tells me. I ask him how and he points at his water colors. I ask him which colour..., he says green.... Like Hulk 

he donned the KRISSH 3 mask last night...did his homework and even watched tv!!! just that before hitting the bed, he thought it would be wise enough to get it off him!

we spent yesterday at bopal..just me and him. and i was totally his :) he loved that although he missed tv!!!!

he got spanking last to last saturday for spoiling our new fridge. actually, he was moving around with a sarashi and attempted opening the fridge door with that .. in the process, the paint chipped off! yesterday i spotted red stains on our brand new curtain...closer inspection revealed it was blood. i realised it was him who must have aimed at the mosquito ! the moment i asked tintin who did it, he had his hand on his bums, anticipating that i would hit him. but then i asked him to check the blood stains and then explain to me what happened...he said "that mosquito was sitting there...so i hit it"...i said "well done!" amused, baba asked me to switch off the mosquito repellent and asked tintin to get on job of hitting mosquitoes...that amused him in turn :)

he has been speaking english very very well...and with lot of confidence ... honestly, he amazes me.
