My kid and the day care

Sid has been going to the school day care for more than a month now. So, it's like 11 am to 2 pm is his classes; and then on, day care. It took him one week to get settled in this new setup. Finally, when he did settle, he is happy to go there and meet his friends --- on one condition --- "mumma, u will come to pick me up, right?" Awwwwww, heart-melting for me.

The initial guilt in me subsided and transformed to happiness to see him mingle with friends, learn more English words, learn discipline (he wears his own clothes now), and occupied in social learning. 

Sid, the conversationalist, volume 2

Sid is 3 years and 3 months old, and he has already mastered Malayalam. He speaks semantically and grammatically correct Malayalam. He is working hard to get his English working these days.

* Sid wants to know why is Kannada language and kannada (Malayalam for spectacles) are called the same way.

* Some GK session: 
father of d nation: prajeth
capital of Tamilnadu: kozhikode
biggest land animal: elephant
biggest water animal: water elephant

* Some words that he uses in his daily vocab: changala (metal chain), kalippu (rage), teerumaanichu (decided), chelleppum (sometimes), aakramichu (attacked), adipoli (awesome), pakshe (but), just, already, prayasam (problem), sutrakaaran (cunning) and the list goes on.

* His imagination: We were reading a story of a beautiful forest from magic pot kids magazine. He happened to disclose the secret of his past life to me. He said that he was in this forest before he was born.

* One more for his imagination: He says he has a baby inside his tummy. And that it is a girl baby. That's why he is getting stomach aches these days.


Not that the list ends here, I am just tying the end knot here. To be continued as time goes...
