Proud of me continues

Peed outside the water closet and I had to hose it clean.
“If you do that how will we be proud of you?”, the wife asked.
Turns to me and says with a sad face, “Sorry”.

Upcoming birthday

The boy was eating yogurt and to prevent it from spilling on his t-shirt, I made a bib out of a handkerchief and tucked it around his neck. “I feel I am in a barber shop!”

The boy’s birthday is coming up and we were scouting for places to have his birthday party. We checked out PlayGym. The boy loved it. They also have a separate area for the birthday party and gave contacts of children’s birthday food suppliers. The loo was clean and they had an electric balloon inflator.

Back home, the boy made a big ruckus to go Ah’s house. And then when he called his aunt “silly idiot” the wife gave him a serious talk and hit him on his leg. He cried nonstop for nearly an hour. He put so much effort into his crying that the nerves at the side of his neck stood out. We asked him to stop crying.

The wife  to the boy, “If you cry like this how will be proud of you?”
The boy, in between sobs, “Are you proud of me?”
The wife, “Why should we be proud of you?”
The boy, “Because, you should be proud of me”

Finally he stopped.

Lunch outing

Lunch at 3oh3. Nice ambience and friendly staff. The food was very good. We had ordered pasta for the boy, I ended up eating his leftovers again and stuffed.

New Question

"You are proud of me?", asked the boy

"Yes", I replied

"Why?", asks the boy

"You have been a good boy today", I replied

The boy ponders for a moment and give a wide smile.

Family visit and dinner

After visiting the wife’s cousin, we went to Chianti for dinner last night.

This is in the food street that we have heard for a long time but never got been there. Being the weekend, the street was crowded. Thankfully we found a place to park and walked the stretch.  The food was good and the ambience, ok.  The boy found it hard to sit still till the food arrive. Since we had some of his toy cars, that kept him occupied. 

New water bottle

The boy agreed to go to school because we agreed to buy him a new water bottle (the old one broke). We went to the shop and promptly picked a blue spider man bottle. He insisted it on taking it to school immediately but we refused saying it has to be cleaned.

Nursery

The boy's nursery classes start today and he made a big fuss to go to school. Pulled my hair, dragged me inside the  school. A happy boy came back – although he fell and cut his lip.

He asked the wife - “Amma, why didn’t you bring my pram to school? I had to walk all the way back!”

Tantrums

The boy was in a tantrum mood today. Got ticked off easily. It was frustrating. He cheered up a bit when we went out to buy a birthday gift for N. Came back home and he wanted to go the birthday party at Domino's Pizza immediately and that too in my car. I told him it is only in the evening and he would not listen.
