we dont have any dedicated time to sit with ashu for reading ,but whenever we find time we do it with full enthu ..even ashu is excited and has a passion for that.
yday me reached home at 7.15pm and we (me and ashu ) sat for reading.
he doesnt know which book to start with so broughtall the books .
But he was more interested towards a chart of vehicles which i got from a local store last week.the speciality is all the vehicles are not mere images ,but with projection ,as how the real vehicles be ,which you can feel by touch.
he pointed the Bus and said buus and again on Lorry he said loeeyye
There is Cycle there for which he did action like how we drive the car.
On seeing the train on chart he pointed to the toy train which i had kept in the showcase which is out of his reach.
onpointing the car he said dirra,now i corrected and said Car,that reminds him of his nana(father) and started saying Nan,nan,nan....
I want to get his attention back and asked him where is ur hands,he happily showed his hands.then as usual nose,tongue ear,hair,fingers....
now i want him to realise things which i draw in paper,eventhough we have a black board for him ,i sometimes avoid using it bcoz ashu tries to chew the chalk.
I drew sun on paper and asked him where is sun he pointed it and asked him to repeat it along with me and he did that.....
me so excited and now i should learn proper drawing atleast my son should understand what iam trying to draw............
Athu:
for the past one week he started saying his name as ATHU
If somebody asks him "what is ur name" ,he is replying back as ATHU(thanks to ramya my hubbys sis)
Time is always 2:
if we ask aswath what is the time he will always say 2 and simultaneously shows 2 fingers .
so last week one of the uncles taught him a question for his answer??????
yes obviously the answer is 2 and the question is How old are you -?
so the answer is a perfect one as 2

Websites for Toddlers
Iam always interested in the hunt for websites which specially focus on Bits and kids crafts.Last week when i was googling i landed up in a blog of a home schooling mom.she is doing home schooling for her 2 yrs old toddler,and the way she does that is mindblowing,and i have an envy towards her and would like to do the same good work like her and really appreciate her efforts ,she is definetley a professionally qualified teacher but a SAHM(stay at home mom).!!

Ashu joined kidzeeeeeeeeeeeee
yday being vijayadasami day we took ashu to kidzee play school for admission.
we were enquiring this play school for a long time and they suggested they could give admission for him once he completes one year 10 months.now he is going to celebrate his second birthday on Nov.29th,so we thought this is the right time.
I spoke to a miss whose name is sheebha ,she gave brief intro of the school,curriculum and ashu will be having his classes from 12th of novemeber (his nanas birthday).cool..
normally he shows bye by waving his hands alone and only by signing,but it was a gr8 surprise yday when the miss asked him like
"sweet baby,little boy say bye" thats it ashu opened his mouth and said BYYYYYEEEE
gr8.. job we wondered and preparing ourself mentally for his play school,rather than preparing him.....
after reaching home we had some my hus cousin staying with us overnight,so we went to Mc Donalds for burger and some had pizze corner in Pizza hut ,which is also present in same food court.

Ashu Started Reading
Yesterday when i reached home ,i saw ashu was little restless,and was running here and there with out knowing what to do.
so i thought i will sit and read his books with hime for some time .
Isat on the floor and asked him to open his book shelf,first he tried opening ,since he was not able to open he called me.
i helped him and he took all of the books out .One book containing list of vegetables,one with fruits names,rhymes,one with vehicles name like that he has got a collection of around 25-30 books .
There is a book titled as Good Habits ,where a boy will sleeping in a bed and rising in the morning and the quote says"Early to bed and early to rise"
ashu on seeing that boy will say "ANNA"
next it has a pic. of a boy brushing the teeth,he will also imitate like how we brush the teeth.
like what ever he understand he will do that by his action,this is quite common whenever we start reading the books.
There is a Alphabet book which gives picture of 10 things for letter A like Apple,aeroplane,ant....
Normally i prefer to teach A for Apple and not Alligator.
I was teaching him A for apple,
B for Ball
He jumped out of my lap to bring his Ball.
yday to my astonsihment he started associating with whatever he saw in the book.
C for Comb
he started doing action like how we comb the hair ,that too continously out of excitement!!!!
i was really happy and i said c for cat.
Now he ran to the bed rom to bring the magnetic cat which is sticked on the steel wardrobe.
Now imagine me ,iam in the air,cant control the joy
but still want to finish till Z so i saidd for Doggy
he made strange face expressions that Dog will bite you.E for elephant and he shows the big elephant kept on the Tv.G-Girl which he calls akka.
It continues till S where he was a pair of shoes and said NAN(way he used to call his father)
i said yes these are Nanas shoes ,then he smiled in a way that he also agrees with me......LOL.

Amma ,Amma,Amma...
last saturday night we slept in the living room as our bedroom fan has got a shortcircuit problem,so we slept in the living room,as my hus badly needs a fan while sleeping.
Morning when we woke up he realised his Vest is inside the bedroom,lazy to getup and take it by himself(he knows if he tells me i will take another 15 min to bring it for him),he asked aswath to bring it for him.
aswath listend to what he told and ran very quickly to the bedroom,but iam scared here ,bcoz i have kept the water jug inside the room,i know about ashu ,given a chance he will pour the water over him and on the floor.I dont want to do any cleaning or wiping early on sunday morning(8.30 am:-))
but i was wondering what he is doing there till now ????,wow,to my surprise
he came out with my hus vest and locked the door properly and gave it to my hus.
we applauded him and he deserves it also.....
what made me really happy was he did it when it was least expected from him.
That instant we were really proud of our cute ashu kutty.
Sunday night:
we were about to sleep on sunday night after enjoing the weekend as the next day is a working day at 10.30pm.
I heared ashu calling me ,normally he will call me as appa and his father as Nan.
ashu:appaa
me:yes
ashu:aappaa
me:hmmm
ashu:appaaa
me:enna
ashu appa,appa
me :turned towards his side and asked,yes
ashu:bend my head towards him and kept his mouth like a piggy and kissed me
oh now i felt so bad ,i should have responded the very first time he called me.
Felt like flying in the air for that moment and hy hus ,who was a silently watching this also got a kiss from ashu.

Ashu ready for Play school
Finally enquired about kidzee play school over the weekend and planning to enrol him by vijathasami.On our first visit to eurokids/kidzee we were told aswath is not eligible for play group till he completes 1 yr 10 month.now he has completed 1 yr 10 months and dont want to delay it further.
we still have some practicle hassels ,dont know how to overcomethat .ashu used to sleep till 8.30 am in morning ,but his cab will reach our place at 8.45 once we put him in play school.
so we started waking him up at 7.00am but poor ashu is going to sleep at 9.00 am .once myself and my husband leave home at 8.15 am,he was playing for a while ,got pissed off and sleeps in the sofa.
Really it going to be an adventure if we were successful in making him go to play school on a regular basis.
myself and my hus were eagerly waiting for D day.will let u know the leelais of krishna very soon....
