Two days ago, sarang was waking up Dhyey to get ready for school. He dint wake up easily so he tickled him. Now D also wanted to tickle him back and he pushed him little. S was in naughty mood, he pushed his own head towards wall and started pretending like dhyey has hurt him, Dhyey became serious “dady, did I hurt you, really?”, S wanted to tease him more he said, yes buddy, u hurt me I want to cry…ee.e..e. Dhyey would have started laughing if this incident was happened last month. But now things are different. Fun has converted into emotions. D started crying, God please forgive me, I dint hurt my dad intentionally. I was thinking he is crying because he has just woken up. But it was not like that because it lasted till he went to bed at night. S convinced him I was kidding. I am all right, you dint hurt me. But this was not enough. He said sorry with all his feelings when he left for school. When he came from school he told me to call his dad and ask he is alright or not. Last of all when S came from work he hugged him and started crying "daddy, by mistake I hurt you today. You are so best, i can’t hurt you." Till that moment, neither S nor I have asked even why did you hurt or how it happened. I was there when all this was happened. I know he dint do anything which might hurt his dad. And for one thing I am most proud mom that he never lies to me, if something has been wrong or broken or somebody is hurt by him, he accepts his mistake. He has fear of mine when he does something wrong but not so fearful to tell me the truth. Thank You god for sending this honest boy in our life. So I was very sure about his words. So many times we do this kind of fun but no one says sorry or gives clarifications. I can see now a days if we get hurt he becomes more panic. But I was really questioning to me from where these sentiments are created!!

ANTARYAMI
Few days back we were listening swami’s preaching. He caught new word “Antaryami”.
D: “Dad what is the meaning of ‘antaryami’”
Dad: “someone who knows or can read others mind, like God”.
Two days later,
He was coming from school with his friend, on the way they both were talking on usual things. He started telling latest story about Pepa pig…. That girl replied” ohh I know, later then this n that happened in that story, I know everything about that story.” He quits for some time. Again he started” My class teacher Mrs. Meyer, she had…bla bla bla.. “That girl said “oh I know that you are in Mrs. Meyer’s class n she had..bla.. bla.. bla..” later then he spoke nothing.
When we reached to home, he was silent and I found him in deep thinking.
I asked him what you are thinking about; he said I have one question:
“MOM TELL ME, IS SHE (his friend) ‘ANTARYAMI’???”

Birthday gift in advance
In recent times I was busy with settling up in new apartment and that’s why at the end of the day we become very exhausted and sleepy. That resulted into missing bed time stories some nights. So this smart one has commanded one promise to him for his birthday that “one story at bedtime without fail for full march month”. And Mom committed. :-)

The Feeling of never having time
Last to last week I was telling to my hubby that during this Christmas break I want to pass all my time with Dhyey -like lot of talk, bricks time together, story time, craft time and many more with him, eventually we tried to make it successful, we spend lot of quality time with him. I am fond of cooking and my kid has extreme interest in Lego projects, whenever he rush to me in kitchen to show his work, so many times I said that not now, I will see later and that brings bad feelings. I really wish this fun should be there throughout the year.
You stick your chosen gel cling on window:
You are so innocent!!
This is what we did together: we both cut out stars, you chose ribbon color n cut it, n i fixed it.

Isn't it look awesome at your play area?

First time I decorated Christmas tree with help of you buddy,I was surprised how you know red ribbon goes up, silver i should swirl up and all that, sweeti pie, you said you learnt from your fav. show Peppa pig: -)
Your fav. ornament: transport set
Is he growing up or I am being small?
We both were washing our hands in bathroom; he looked at me and said Mom you look small now, I staggered and asked him how? He said it is because now my head is crossing your waist, it was not so when we were in India, so you are being small now. He means to say his growth is making me small. Kids do evaluation all the way, not only in toys and with other kids’ stuff. They notice entirety I can say.

Your Amusing Mind-1
Scene: We all-3 were having breakfast and common chit-chat today morning.
S: my friend was working in .net few years ago, now he is working in java.
Me: Oh, good.
D: Daddy, java I know, but what is .net?
S: Oh really, u know what is Java?
D: Yup, Java means “GO” (Java nu is Gujarati word to represent GO)
We both said we will wait to hear meaning of .net from you only, take your time buddy.
I diverted, so many times we speak word java and I don’t know how he re-framed sentence with “GO” all the time.
He is questioning boy, he started whining n convinced us to explain.
