TV and meal

And the boy had a meal sitting in front of TV. I couldn't prevent it.

I hope this is only a one off scenario and that he understands the respect to be given to food. 

An interesting link

Chinese for a change

On the way back from Fortis, we went for lunch to Beyond China. Tucked away from the main road, good ambience and very friendly staff. They also had a high chair for the boy.

He loved the Crispy Vegetables tossed in Sweet Chilly Plum. Seeing us eat with forks, he wanted to but was unsuccessful. Ended up eating up with his hands, including the rice, which a lot of it spilled on the tray and the baby seat. 

Thank you

One of the older boys carried him, tripped over a stone and both fell. Luckily, the boy hit only the side of his face and not the head. Small bruise but he cried for a long time.

He has learned to say thangu! (Thank you)

MIL story

The MIL was sitting on the Diwan when the boy gently started edging her out.

MIL turned to the boy “If you continue like this, I will go away”

The boy quietly went to the door, picked up MIL’s slippers, put it next to her and waved her bye :-)

No wake-up night

The boy slept through the whole night without waking up for milk! First time. He has learnt “up” and “down”.

He kept saying poo poo even though his diaper was clean. Put him on the potty seat and after sometime he did go! On his way to being potty trained.

Lifts and Shoes

We had to make a visit to Fortis Hospital yesterday. The wife’s uncle was admitted and since he wanted to see her, we had to take the boy along. He was thrilled with the lifts, went up and down it, walked all over the cafeteria and wanted to eat what others were having. As he result he ended up eating portions of bagel, corn sandwich, ice cream and drinking juice.

The boy has learnt that he has to wear shoes if he wants to go outside.

Vacuum cleaner

The vacuum cleaner intrigued him, especially the blower. The boy helped me switch it on and off and insisted that I continue to use if even after I was done with the cleaning.
