The boy can read words now with phonetic sounds and count. Randomly he asks me the sum of 2 numbers and keeps compounding them.
There has been a questioning spree related to religion. I dread answering them but the wife is good at it. "Why is Jesus father not a God but Ganesha's father is a God?"
"I am smart", tapping his forehead is something that he repeats often.
He has learned to snap his fingers.

Water Day
Today is Water Day.
The boy insisted on wearing blue t-shirt when we had no information from school - no email or on the app.
But the boy was adamant that they had to be in blue colors.
"You are not the one going to school, I am! I know that we have to wear blue today. You don't know anything."
He turned out to be right.

Holi and class photo
The boy had Holi celebrations in school and came back happy smeared with color.
"Let's leave India. There is so much traffic." the boy told me as I was getting him ready for school. I was amused. It was the day of his class photo. He diligently combing his hair, made sure it covered his forehead neatly.
He has not been using the cycle much ever since the training wheels were removed. I was hoping he will learn but he seems to be in the comfort zone of using his scooter.

Annual day and marriage
The boy had his annual day at Chowdiah Memorial Hall last Friday. He participated in a skit dressed up as a kangaroo. He looked confident on stage and did not miss his steps. Post that we went to this Sattvam for dinner. Lovely place and what a spread.
"I got 2 and 3 stars from teacher for 2 books I wrote today. You know how I was able to write more? Because I have bigger muscles now" the boy said pointing to his muscles. It has become a common practice for him to ask us to check his muscles after each meal.
The boy has become a big questioner. He has questions about everything and followup questions to the answers. It is a good phase but sometimes it can get exhausting and you wish he would keep quiet. At the same time you don't want to shush him lest he stops questioning.
Another haircut done and his hair is growing very fast.
He dentified "Shape Of You" from the opening score. I am impressed.
We went to Café Myodo for lunch and it was the second time the boy ordered spaghetti pasta and did not finish it. We managed to eat a lot of it and the rest we packed.
The boy has started asking questions about whom he can marry!

Family wedding and the aunt arrives
"When I grow big, I can do anything. You people will be old!", the boy proclaimed.
Hennessey Venom is his new craze because his teacher at school told him that it is faster than a Bugatti Veyron. The boy has been saving money in his piggy bank to buy a Bugatti. Now with this new information, he wondered how much more he has to save :)
We did a road trip to hometown to attend a family wedding. The boy's aunt was also visiting and he was so excited to see her. I suspect it had to do more with the gifts she had brought. It was a good family get together. He didn't eat much at the wedding. I loved the wedding lunch.
He has learnt to brush his teeth on his own.
Talk about the love for his mentor and guide Ah. There was a funny incident when he refused to get up in the morning citing his leg was paining. The moment he heard Ah had called he jumped out of the bed, brushed his teeth, drank milk and asked me to drop him in Ah's house. No pain, all gain.

New watch
Thanks to his Uncle. The boy was thrilled. He told everyone about it and proudly flaunted it. The excitement lasted 3 days.

Cycle fixed and PTM
The chain was coming off inspite of repeated fixing. Took it to a nearby mechanic who changed a spindle. The boy was off it for almost a week.
The boy also had his PTM at school. He has started volunteering to speak up and interacting with children outside his close circle. That is good news.
