Hyderabad trip and lost tooth

The boy had a good time in Hyderabad with IIR and DS last weekend. Played in the pool, ran around, bit of TV, ate decently, fought/became jealous with Ia and some tantrums. At the end of it he did not want to come back to Blr.

After a gap of 2 weeks he went to school yesterday and lost his first tooth. The already chipped tooth had started shaking in the morning and by his bed time it was out. The boy was shocked by the blood and all and with his strong belief in the tooth fairy, he kept it under the pillow. The wife replaced it with a 5 Rs coin (closest in resemblance to a gold coin).
Today morning he got up quickly and was thrilled to find the coin. Whoever he met, he told them about the tooth and the coin.

Quick weekend trip

A hard and tiring drive to Guruvayur over the weekend. The wife’s cousin’s son’s (R) rice feeding ceremony. The boy gets jealous when we talk to or carry R.

We also met relatives. On the drive he learnt about paisa, toll and singal (signal). 1 rupee is 100 rupees for him – the wife gave him three 1 rupee coins during the journey which he lost and wanted more. The return journey took a long 13 hours instead of the usual 8-10 hours because of heavy traffic.
