Tier Park

aswath started identifying all the alphabets and fond of singing rhymes along with me.his favourite rhyme is OLD macdonalds had a farm ,whenever i sing that rhyme ,we can see a big glow in his face.
Nowdays he prefers listening rhymes from the online site www.rajshri.com.
the animation section is extemely good for all the kids from 2-4 yrs of age.now my laptop's home page is not Google,its rajshri....
Special thanks to the yahoo groups member for recommending this site.

last sunday when 3 of us were walking on the streets he saw 44 on a door and said 2 four .he gets confused with 6 and 9 sometimes .whenevr i call my parents ,he will snatch the phone from me and read the numbers from 1 to 10 from his book.


last week i gave him some water to drink in his favourite blue cup, but he wanted more,so he asked me 10 water for him 10 is the largest number,iam speechless for a moment.

i thought it would be tough for kids to identify shapes very soon ,but still i used to draw triange ,square ,arrow and rectangle for him evry now and then.
to my surprise he is identifying triangle in lift ,arrows in signals

yday when is was giving bath to him he saw a triangle in the back side of shampoo bottle ,amma triangle two OO,2 o is the double in shampoo

last weekend we went to tier park(Tier-Deer) ,i thought by seeing the deers he will remeber the park as Tier park .but he saw the monkeys there and was very excited .on the way back home i asked him to which park we went now he said MONKEY PARK,no more Tier.
The park is near the banks of rhine and there is a kinder autobahn,even though ashu is too young to ride a bike on his own ,with his nanas help he had full fun by riding a bike ...

WEGGIS AND RIGI KULM

last year for easter weekend we wen to thiruvannamalai for ashus tonsuring,it was a suddenn trip with no plans before hand.
this time weggis trip is very much planned and was the first exciting outing in swiss.
we went with 2 more families to weggis and Rigi Kulm near lucern.we left on saturday morning from basel and returned on monday evening.
First we reached lucern and then we travelled in a boat to weggis.Boat journey was very exciting ,but the strange info is ashu sat in one corner in a kids area and started playing.

we checked in the hotel and had perfect lunch at hotel.i prepared lemon rice ,idli ,chutney and a onion -tomato curry for chappathi.shruti came with pulav and chappathi and bharathi with parottas.

around 2.30 we left the hotel and went to near by mountain,but we came back soon as we dont find anything intersting to do there,on the way we had latte machiatto in a cafe bar.
next day we left to rigi kulm and the journey in the train cant be expressed in words,
from weggis we went by boat till rigi kaltbad and from kaltbad we went by train to kulm.

its around 5600 mts high from the ground level and ashu enjoyed a lot playing in snow .


after having lunch in rigi kulm we came back to weggis by cable car.


It was quite a good experience and had lots of fun ,ashu enjoyed a lot than all of us.next day instead of going to lido for swimming we did the same thing and checked out and came back to basel.
now its time to give an update on ashu:

ashu remembers train as koo and nowadays evry now and then he is asking me shall we go by koo.

he started recognising alphabets and starts reading every where ,last week he saw a tag in a dress with number 80,and he reads it as "eight-o",for him zero is o,so its my mistake of not teaching him zero .

two days back after having lunch i took one chocolate and gave him one for eating.
i put the cover near the night table ,he saw that and exprssed his dissatisfaction,by saying "Coverrrrrr no no""
i understood what he was trying to express so i asked him "then where i should put the chocalate cover"??
he immediately got down from the bed ,took the chocolate covers and said duut bin(dust bin) went to kitchen ,throwed it in the bin and came back with a smile on his face., ( now where i should hang my self??)

we went out for a walk near zum park,there was a tram track also ,ashu immediately got down on the track ,before we could realise ,hubby slapped him nicely ,ashu cried and finally told hubby "ILOVE U KA KA KA"
poor fellow he doesnt know how to express i hate u ,so he said "i love u -ka ka"

he is doing a lot of new things every day but i dont find time to write it,now he is sleeping ,so iam writing as much as i can........ after all its MY TIME.
