Habits, more talk and his first reading session

The boy has developed this habit of pulling at his lip with his nails. It has become so bad that his lip has cuts and it is discolored. And he gets very irritated if I ask him not to do it "What is your problem?" I feel like "whack!" but refrained. At one point he cried so much during a tantrum that he threw up.

The boy had his haircut and is becoming a bangalorean - "Look at the traffic. It is terrible!"

He also had this to say about girls in a conversation with the wife.

"If you go behind a girl, you will become a girl" 

"Who told you that?" 

"Kavitha madam"

"That is not true"

"No way. I am telling you if you go behind a girl you will become a girl"

"Don't laugh at me. It's not funny"

The boy got a set of Monopoly and Snakes & Ladders and has taken a love to Monopoly.

Because of a Peppa Pig episode at 8 am, he wakes up early, and is ready by that time. 

He also attended a reading of Peppa Pig at Atta Galatta on Saturday. The boy was a little hesitant to sit with the other children initially. He settled down, enjoyed the reading, answered the questions and cheered for others. He even came home and asked us this - "Amma, who works harder, you or Acha?" 

Throwing up

We got a call from school last Friday that the boy was throwing up  and had loose motion. The wife went to pick him up and he came running out "Look ma, I vomited!" And looked very normal. He came home, slept in  the afternoon and did not eat much.
On Saturday he had curd rice for lunch and he threw that up in  the evening. After that went to meet R&I. The boy played with I and had only a toast for dinner. In the morning while drinking milk, he threw up again. We took him to Dr S. He was extremely patient, heard the entire set of events and prescribed 5 medicines with the strict instruction that they be given only if conditions get worse. The 4 stages were loose motion/vomiting, gastritis, colic and if nothing worked an antibiotic. The boy started on  Emeset (loose motion/vomiting) and thankfully recovered. He looked very dull and his size seemed to have shrunk.
We didn't send him to school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He went with the wife to her office.
Today he reluctantly went to school.

No diaper night

Finally the boy slept last night sans a diaper. We hope it is a long term change. Part of it is because we switched to Mamy Poko pants which the boy does not like.
