56 months

1st December 2010:

happy 56 months N!i am losing track of the months now!

i am a little down in the dumps owing to wisdom teeth troubles...but N and K have been cheering me up...

here's N news people...


K is back and N is thrilled to bits!the day K returned he got really emotional and almost cried...it was a touching scene....



7th november....at claytopia(cousin anika's birthday bash)...he enjoyed the painting and pottery session thoroughly!

it was an enjoyable evening...the kids had a good time...

diwali!!we made a rangoli with ammu didi's help,went around and saw the lights and the cracker bursting...

beautiful lights all around....

>
we missed K terribly during diwali....

with his SDIPA(Shiamak Davar's Institute for the performing arts) classmates just before their performance....

N and A fretting after a brief tiff!

with Tinu mahi...he loves her!

and here's a brief vid of N's stage debut!he surprised me!he'd joined three classes late and was lagging behind the others so i'd expected him to either refuse to get on stage or freeze in one position...but he moved quite a bit!well done N!i shot this from the wrong angle...the instructor told me he'd be on stage left,and that is why i was on that side....anyways,it was a good show!he wants to join again next month!

and that's Siddhant...he's N's best buddy these days!!!

happy 56 months lil' guy!!!!

what is mind?

1st November 2010:

Last evening we had an interesting conversation...

Niyor:"What is mind mama?"

Me:"What??"

After making sure that I was hearing the right word....

Me:"Something in your head that helps you think and feel"

Niyor: "Are mind and brain the same?"

Me:"Oh well...they are not same...the brain is a very important organ inside your skull which helps you to talk,move,remember..."

I have to admit that it wasn't easy explaining to him about how the mind is a non-physical entity and the brain is a physical organ.Phew!!!How do kids come up with such difficult questions!!!

In other news...

N the fisherman waiting for his school bus!

it was "dress-up day" at school a few days ago and N had to play the role of a fisherman...it was a lot of fun for him!!!his friends dressed up as magician,policeman,security guard,fisherwoman...!unlike other mornings he woke up on his own and kept urging me to hurry up or else he'd miss dress up day!

N the dork!...on days when i am down he tries to make me laugh!

this little guy has a quirky sense of humour!

evening strolls or should i say runs...most of the time it's N running and me struggling to catch up!it's a lot of fun...playing "catch me" is his favourite thing to do in the evenings...

The other day N said,"Mama,I like India...there are so many things to see here!!!"Of course there are...everything fascinates him...the sights, the smells,the bright colours,the people....it is after all home!no place like home.....

at his friend eshaan's 5th birthday party

chilling out with Mama and Mridusmita aunty

people ask me "does he ever talk?"....oh he sure does.....it's just that he takes a lot of time to open up....i used to be the same as a child....i remember ms Shibani(my std 1/grade1 class teacher) used to pinch me to make me say a few words in class!i still take time to open up to people...i have to admit that!!!

at anika's place...these two are friends now,they play,they fight over the same toys...it's a joy seeing the cousins interact!

Anai and Putha had come down from Dibrugarh for a week....N had a good time!

a fake smile for the camera....i've been trying to keep him constructively occupied(K is away on work)...we do a lot of fun art and craft work....as and when i get free time that is!

waiting for lunch....

proudly displaying his work of art...

some mommy and sonny bonding time...

and when i do not have time to spend with N he goes to sesame street!

artist N!

the end result of a mama and N art session on a saturday morning!

happy 55 months N!you are the light of my life.....keep shining!!!

oh man!

7th October 2010:

"Oh man!"...that's N's favorite expression these days!

Me:"That much candy is not healthy!"

N:"Oh man!"

Me:"It's time to go to bed"

N:"Oh man!"

Me:"No buying toys this week"

N:"Oh man!"

Happy four and a half years little man!

53 months

5th September 2010:

Another month just zooms by and i'm so behind in my blog updates!I almost forgot that I had a blog!It's just that I'm engrossed in work these days and blogging has kind of fallen out of the list of things to do...anyways,I should at least post up pics of the month that went by!

fooling around with Payal mahi as always!

N is totally into reading and writing of late....he's majorly hooked onto how words are formed,how to write them and the phonics part of it all!And it's all thanks to school!He drags K and me to his room to read and write with him....wonder how long this will continue though!

celebrating K's birthday...with lots of chocolate cake!

N's school had a sports day last month...he participated in the running race event,he'd have loved to win but he started late!I tried to make him understand that winning isn't everything and that participating was a great thing too!

waiting to receive a prize from the chief guest Ashwini Nachappa

the race begins and N starts a little too late!

with his classmates

Happy 53 months Lil' Guy!Enjoy the races in life ....you don't have to win every one of them!It's the journey that matters!

The other day you stumped me with a question,"When i was a tiny baby I was inside your tummy,but who put me there?Who?" The queries keep coming!
