A swim

..after ages, almost 2 years! The boy spent the initial 2 days in the baby pool and then was able to swim in the big pool using the butterfly stroke.

Uniform Confusion

We ordered the boy's school uniform online, as instructed by the school, and the size did not match despite giving the correct specification. After a lot of going back and forth on the phone, we decided to head to their warehouse and pick it up. It was in the back of beyond of HSR. Turns out it is a new vendor and after trying on a couple of sizes, we got the right fit. 

The boy couldn't wait to wear it to school. He had to wait till it was washed.

Offline classes!

Or attending school physically as they call it.

Ever since the boy heard that he can go to school for 2 days a week, he was super thrilled. He decided that he is going to dream only about that. The previous day his bag was packed and he slept early. The bag was super heavy.

He was so excited that he woke up at 530 am. I dropped him off at 745 am and we will take turns to pick / drop him, K and A in the mornings and evenings.

Online timing change

The class timings were changed from today to accommodate hybrid learning across the school and to support children with the transition process to regular school timings. It is now 9 am to 130 pm. More time for the boy to sleep in the morning. The day is not far away when the boy will start to attend school physically.

Road Trip

With 2 other families we went on a trip to Chikmagalur. We had the homestay all to ourselves. It was peaceful and the boy had things to do that kept him occupied. We also trekked and the boy climbed Mullayanagiri in the freezing and windy conditions wearing only shorts!

 

Happy Dussehra!

A quick road trip to Chennai to surprise the boy's aunt on her birthday. Both were thrilled to see each other. The dinner gathering was memorable with nice people and food.
