How does one deal with a bundle of energy after getting only 3 hours of sleep?
I found it very difficult.
I woke up to the boy’s morning moaning. He groggily walked to the front room and wanted to be carried. Drank his milk and reluctantly brushed his teeth. After giving the boy a bath and setting his bath tub (bubbles, 2 bottles to play with and 2 mugs to make his “chai”), I thought I will take a break. But no. I was called. The boy wanted me to show how he makes tea. The water with bubbles was transferred from one mug to another. At last he got out of the bath tub. Phew. It was time for “susu”. Back to the bathroom and once he was done, water the floor and his legs. I was already tired. Now to apply the body cream. I start with the legs and that is when he decides to play. Scrambles to the other side of the bed. Sleepy and tired, I call him. No. After much cajoling, I manage to rub the cream on. Next was to get the dress on him. I am halfway and he decides to jump up and down. Patiently, I put on the dress and then it is time to leave. Finally he is in the pram and we wheel him to the school.
And when he turns and says bye with a wide smile, I forget everything.
Today was his rhymes recitation. The boy carried the below prop for the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" rhyme.

On the way back he saw a bulldozer and was so fascinated that he stood for 10 minutes staring at it.
