Year end

The year-end break and time to travel. This time we covered Palghat, Ernakulam and Chennai. I had a school reunion after 26 years in Ernakulam. I could not take him to see my school. The boy behaved well during this road trip. We did not take the car seat as he wanted to lie down. Thankfully he had people and things to keep him occupied at each place. The boy also surprised us by being awake till late in the night on some days. There were few chants of “I want to go to Ah house” but he got over it. During this he learnt to somersault and recite the days of the week. We were back home on 1st evening.

On 2nd we went to Cubbon Park with Ah and Aa. The boy had a good time.

I thought he was settled in. I had gone out with D (who was staying over) after we got back, when I got a call from the wife - “Come back home”. The boy was creating a ruckus. We rushed back, I went to the shop nearby home carrying him and he calmed down. I hope he get used to fact that I may have to step out of home on holidays, soon. 

As I reflect on the year that passed, the boy started walking and talking a lot - 2 things the close family was wondering when he will start doing. I also got insights into how they think and the fact that they observe a lot - what we do, what we say.
