Fever

The boy had a fever starting last Thursday. We asked him to drink a a lot of water.

His eyes were droopy and he was upset that we didn't let him to go Ah house. In the night his fever went up and in the morning came down. We pressed cold towel to his forehead and that helped to an extent. He also started talking a lot in  his sleep. I got kicked twice.

On Saturday I took him to see my mother and he ate some solid food. He was thrilled briefly as he got a new toy car. Back home and his fever was up.

We took him to Dr S the next day. He prescribed Crocin in case the fever came up again.

Today morning he was back to normal and reluctantly went to the summer camp.

The boy has taken an active interest in the Ramayana.

HAL Museum

The boy finally had his chance to go the HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum. The place is well maintained and has a good collection. But with children, you need a lot of patience. The complex also houses a cafeteria and a souvenir shop. We skipped many sections.

Initially the boy was thrilled with the planes. Later the children's playground and the children who went with him - Ah and some of the boy's cousins kept him busy.

After being there for almost 2 hours, the rants of  "Lets go home!" started.

Conversation about before life / after life

It all started with a talk about a past event, before the boy was born. That triggered it...
"Where was I?", the boy asked.
"You were not born', the wife replied.
"Why?"
"Because God had not decided yet to send you", the wife didn't wanting to complicate about the birth and death.
"Does that mean all the babies are in heaven with God before being sent to their parents?", the boy asked, his curiosity aroused.
"Yes", replied the wife cautiously.
"Does that mean that I would have met Ah in heaven before he was sent to Dada and Mama?".
"May be".
"Does that mean that the babies with God now will be talking to Muthassan?",  referring to my father who passed away last November. We had told the boy that he had gone to heaven.

Again, some days later we were  going through some old photos and the started...
"Where was I?", the boy asked.
"You were not born', the wife replied.
"Oh, I was with God before being sent to you!", the boy replied brightly.
