Confident to Over-confident

Last year when Aryan went for the first time in apartment's splash pool , he slipped in the water and water got into his tummy. As a result he vomitted and got scared of swimming pool.


Since that day , we kept on encouraging him to step into the pool,but did not succeed until last week. After and year or so, last week he stepped into the splash pool and then into the bigger pool (kids above 3 are allowed in the bigger pool under parent's supervision) and had a great time.

This weekend again he went to the bigger pool with his father. After splashing and playing for few minutes he tells his papa , "Papa aap ruko , main ek round leke aata hoon" (You wait here papa , I will go and swim a lap)

Anupam and I could not help laughing for minutes when he told me this. My little prince took little time from becoming confident to over-confident :-)

Anti-Jinx..Kala tika ..touchwood

Kyoooooki

Yesterday he was watching a cd on laptop , while I was sitting near by. So he slipped himself in my lap while he continued watching cd. So I asked :




"Aap mumma ki godi mein kyoooo baithe ho ?"

Aryan : Kyooki mujhe baithna haiiii"

Me : "Kyo baithna haiiiiii"

Aryan : "Kyoooki mujhe achaaaa lagta haiiiii"

Me : "Kyoo acha lagta haiiii"

Aryan "Kyoooooki mujhe mumma acha lagta haiiii"



The extra "i" and "o" are to indicate that the talk happened in quite a musical way :-)

Yesterday night..

He took my hand into his and wrapped it around his body and hugged it tight and said "Yeh mera mumma hai , mera friend" and kissed my hand.

Kal bhi nahi

So yesterday it was 1 phrase that dominated all the talks we had. Some examples :




Aryan : "Mumma mujhe bread khana hai"

Mumma : "Aryan ab roti khayenge"

Aryan : "Nahi mumma , mujhe bread acha lagta hai , maine kal bhi nahi khaya na bread!"





Aryan : "Papa aap TV dekho"

Papa : "Nahi Aryan , I am done"

Aryan : "Nahi Papa , aapne kal bhi TV nahi dekha na!"





Aryan : "Mumma book padenge"

Mumma : "Thodi daer baad"

Aryan : "Nahi Mumma , maine kal bhi book nahi pada na"

Yeh Kaun laya ?

"Yeh kaun laya ?" is the latest question on his mind for each and EVERY THING. For eg.

"Mumma, wall kaun laya ?"
"fan kaun laya ? , Aur AC ?"
"Yeh Tshirt kaun laya ?"
"Tub kaun laya ? , Aur soap , aur bathroom ?"

So you get the zing , don't you ? We try to be sane and reply to these questions to perfection as much as possible. But there are things that we don't really remember that who actually bought those but he won't leave us without an answer and so we say "Mumma laya" or "Papa laya" just to close the topic.

So this weekend it happened like that :

Aryan : "Mumma Aryan soap kaun laya"
Mumma : "ummm..Mumma laya"
Aryan : "Nahi maine papa se poocha , papa ne bola , papa laya"
Mumma : (ufff...He is cross verifying also :P) "Haan , Mumma aur Papa dono laya"
Aryan : "Aur main ? Main bhi laya ?"
Mumma : (thinking , let me tease him ;-) ) "Nahi , Aryan nahi laya , Mumma aur Papa gaye the"
Aryan : " Nahi Mumma , Aryan bhi gaya tha , aapko pata hai , main aapki godi mein tha"

Now how to reply that ???

Golden words..

"Mujhe school jana hai , mujhe school acha lagta hai"

I hope he holds on the feeling till June 9th :-)

Papa's AA

Every morning when Papa gets ready, Aryan asks him , "Papa kaun sa shoes" (which shoes you want to wear?) and runs to get those. Then while papa is wearing his shoes he runs to get Papa's Icard and car keys and hands them over to Papa. And then he goes hunting Papa's mobile and asks "mobile liya ?"


With such a efficient administrative assistant, how can Papa forget anything ?
I am sure Anupam is happy that atleast his son does all that his wife never did for him.
