Behavior and ice cream

The boy’s screaming has become louder when he is angry. And he seems to have quite a temper. Most of the time he seems to be waiting to be ticked off and then starts crying for silly reasons. Sometimes it is very easy to get him off it - show him something new and he completely forgets about why he was upset in the first place.

We met some friends today for lunch at Fort Kochi and went to Häagen-Dazs for ice-cream. The boy and I ordered the same ice-cream (Summer Berries and Cream). I went out to take a call and when I was back, the boy started eating my ice cream after eating half of his!

Family wedding

We had a wedding in the family - after a long time. Needless to say the whole family had gathered. A memorable time.

The boy created a fuss to wear the new clothes. Mostly he stuck to me and was in a good mood. He insisted on drinking the bottled water instead of sipping water from his bottle. More saliva and food items went back into the bottle when compared to the water he drank. Most of the time, I ended up eating his leftovers. 

On the bright side, the boy can reach the water closet and can pee standing up now.

Dhoni

The boy has developed an attraction for Dhoni. Any IPL match, he asks “Is Dhoni playing?”

Mix of emotions

Last Thursday night Ah and Aa left for a month long holiday. The boy cried and refused to go up to their home and say good byes.

The boy has been spending a lot of time in the swimming pool, especially in the baby pool section. He even went under water once.

It was time to get him armbands - Intex Pool Kids Inflatable Armbands For kids aged 3-6 years

He also picked up this Monster Truck yesterday. Got up in the morning and this was the first thing he asked for.

The boy was excited with his next Flintobox set – it was all about painting and had a paint roller. A good way to distract him and keep him occupied.

Another tip to Hosur today, just me and the boy. He was a bit cranky as I woke him up sooner than he expected. Initially he threw a big fuss to eat lunch and didn’t want to. But after seeing my mother feeding the dogs, which distracted him, he calmed down and ate.

He has grown tall to the reach the lift buttons (just about manages to press the 0) and the calling bell. Back home and there was a birthday party in the community hall. He ate the cake, threw a tantrum when it was time for dinner.

Ouch!

Shut up you ba***rd!

Overhead in the play area, a 7 year old telling her friend when the former’s mother asked the latter why her daughter is upset. 

Phew.

I tried to remember when I first heard the ba***rd word. I believe it was in the 10th grade. 

Children these days catch on fast.

Summer Camp

The boy's summer camp has started and this is what he brought home today!

Bath time improvements

The boy has learnt to rub soap on his own during his bath. And asks for his head to be shampooed.

Today it was lunch at Fort Kochi with I and family. He played with I, went up and down the escalator but did not let her hold his hand, which upset her.
