A new unit of size

Amma, you want to know how big i'm are?

See?

* Runs his hands super slowly all the way up from his feet to his head and back to his other feet.*

Took a long time right, I'm soooo big.

Feel the feel

Ashwin was reading this book to his sister and this is how the conversation went:

See Divya, Yellow. Yellow Divya! Yellow!! Feel divya, feel. *Taking her hand to the shiny bits* feel. yeah, feel feeeeeeel.

And all the while she obliged him and wore an important and satisfied look on her face.

Teaching her to spell

As Ashwin and Divya shared afternoon tea yesterday, Ashwin pointed at this bottle of honey and tried to teach Divya spelling:

H.. o.. u.. e.. y.. a.. u.. s.. t.. r.. a.. l.. i.. a.. u. Honey

Now she knows who to blame when she gets a less than perfect score at a spelling test..

Blog revival

Is my resolution of the day.

My littlest helper!

Did you think I did my chores by myself?

Fruit time

It is fruit time
It is fruit time
Time to eat
Time to eat
When I'm hungry
Fruit is yummy
In my tummy
In my tummy

And then, you dont eat. You have to WAIT until Miss. Olynyk says you can eat and then you can eat.

Snippets from school

How was school today Ashwin? I asked when I went to collect him yesterday. Nice came the succinct reply. What did you do? I don't know.

Don't know?

You went to school today, right?

Yes.

What did you do there?

I don't remember.

This is as I was picking him up a few seconds after school finished...

This morning, when I was putting clothes out on the line to dry,

Amma, you know, in school, when the clean up bell rings outside, we have to shake the things to remove the sand from it and then put it into the basket and then when the basket is full, we should not do anything by ourself but we should find a friend and together carry it to the shelf?

I love hearing these snippets from him and reliving childhood education through him. But I guess I just have to take them as he dishes them out and stay hungry until then :)

Much

Ashwin has begun articulating perfectly leaving only vestiges of baby "angluage" in his speech. This "much" series is one of those precious vestiges that he will never outgrow if I could do something about it.

How much milk do you have in your mug?
I have only little much.
We both have same much, right?
I finished! I have no much left!
While beading a necklace:
Amma, can I use any much beads that I want?
I love this boy a lot much. Very lot much.
