Romance ?

with a bus / daycare friend ?

Day 1 :

Aryan : Mumma I want a flower for J. She loves flowers. Give me a flower for school tomorrow.

Mumma : Aryan I cannot get flower early morning. Plus you will meet her only after school na ..how will you keep it in school

Day 2 :

Aryan : Mumma , aaj maine school mein flower dekha , phir maine socha J ke liye le loon , but phir mujhe laga woh aaj shayad nahi aayengi, is liye maine nahi liya. Phir maine uska bus mein wait kiya. Maine ek girl ko dekha , uske baal J jaise the par woh J nahi thi. Phir ek girl ka bag dekha , barbie wala , J jaisa. But J nahi aayi , main sad ho gaya

Day 3 :

Aryan : Mumma maine J ko flower diya. Maine dekha school mein , ek plant , uspar flower tha , maine woh le liya aur phir maine bus mein J ko de diya. Woh bahut happy ho gayi.

Thinking Marriage at 5 !!

Aryan : Mumma why do you have 2 Mummy and 2 Papa.
Me:Aryan, When I got married to Papa , his mummy papa also became my mummy papa and my mummy papa became his. So we both have 2-2 mummy papa.
Aryan : When I will get married , I will also have 2 mummy papa
Me : Yeah , when you grow up and will get married , you will also have 2 mummy papa.
Aryan : I will get married with J (his current best friend and lastest fascination at daycare)
Me : Yeah , whoever , we will decide when you grow up :P

And here are some pictures from his Birthday !

Field Trip to a Deaf School

Aryan's school took his class for a field trip to deaf school in last week of June. They wanted the kids to experience how is life different for differently abled and how blessed we are to have our senses. Earlier the plan was for blind school , but it seems like some parents objected on the idea of blind school since they did not want their kids to see that pain so early in life.

And so they went to deaf school. When I asked Aryan about the field trip , he told only little :

"We went far off. In big bus. Mujhe big bus mein bahut mazza aaya"

What did you see there ?

"Bache. Unki maam unhe hands se bata rahi thi"

"Do you know why the maam was telling them with hands ?"

No reply

"Because they cannot hear from their ears."

"okay."

Thats about it. So I do not really know if he understood what he was supposed to understand. Perhaps the blind school would have made him think more. Since the children in deaf school looked like normal kids , these kids might not have really realized what is different.

However it was his first brush with the harsh realities of life.

Bhoolna mat !

Yeah thats the instruction I got this morning ..for what ?? For finishing his leftover breakfast. He doesnot like to waste food, so when he thinks he cannot finish something he gives it to one of us and insists that we finish it.

This morning I gave him a banana and he did not eat it. So while leaving for school he tells me , "Mumma aap banana finish kar dena ..okay ..bhoolna mat!!"

---------------------------------------
On a different note , there is more I do not want to forget , so making use of the title :)

Yesterday he asked me , Mumma , can I call you Mother ?
So I said yes !
Aryan :Can I call you Mom ?
Me :Yes! You can call me Mumma , Mummy , Mom, Mother, Ma.
Aryan : And what can I call papa ?
Me : Umm..Papa , Dad , Daddy, Father, Pitaji
Aryan : Pita ji :D I will call you mother and Pitaji
Me : Okay
So yesterday full day I was addressed as Mother and Anupam was addressed as Pita ji. It was so funny to hear him say so. We participated in the fun by replying to him as Son and Putra.
---------------------------------------
Yesterday at bedtime , Mother when baby will come, we will take the baby in pram to parking. Then you lift the baby and I will fold and keep the pram in boot. Then you sit with baby in the back seat.

Me : No, you and baby will sit in back seat and Mumma will sit in front.

Aryan : Arree !!! NO , I will have to drive na , I will be big as Pita ji. Pitaji and baby can sit in back seat then.

Me : When you will be big as papa , baby will also be big ..right ??

Aryan confused now ..keeps thinking ..but baby might be tired walking so we can use pram ???

Me : Baby will not fit in pram when baby is big

Aryan : Hmm..but baby will first be small , 0 years , then 1 year then 2 , then 3 , then 4 like me ,then 5 , then only baby will be big ..hai na ??

Me : Haan

And thats where the dialogue ended. I do not know the conclusion though :D

How big is the baby ?

Aryan keeps asking me how big is the baby and I keep telling him what I read from previous week's baby center's news letter. So last week baby was the size of a banana.
When I told him this he asked me "jab bahar aayega tab kiske jitna bada hoga ? "
I was in the middle of some work on my laptop , so I showed him with both my hands the approx size. But he wanted comparison with some object he can relate too. And so I blurted out "laptop jitna "

Now day before yesterday he again asked , "how big is baby now ? Bigger than banana ??" I said yes! "Like the laptop ..yay it will come out now" So I said no , not yet like laptop.

Again he wanted the size in terms of some object. The baby center said that the baby is 10.5 inches this week , size of a carrot. But the carrots that we get in Bangalore usually are hardly 5 inches :) So I as I said carrot , I was also thinking if he will be confused. So I clarified , the big red ones that we get sometimes na.

Thankfully he did not ask further about next size :D

Aryan narrates a story for his blog!!

Once upon a time there was a crab. then crab wanted to eat fish but crab cannot hold fish. then crab gets fishing rod. then crab got fish and ate fish. then he want his mumma.But mumma went to lion house. then baby crab went to tiger house but he cannot find mumma. then he saw tiger and shouted TIGERR!! Then tiger got disturbed. Then lion heard noise and said whose noise is that. Then mumma crab its my baby crab. Then lion open window and saw baby crab. Then baby crab went to lion house and found mumma.Then mumma crab and baby crab became happy and went gumma walky walky.



Note : The story was typed as narrated without any changes :)

Talking about the Baby

A post from my drafts :


On 1-mar-2011  at a restaurant :

Aryan : "Mummmaaa, aapne baby ke upar khana daal diya"
Me : "No Aryan , don't worry , baby ke upar nahi daala"
Aryan : "Baby tummy mein hai na"
Me : "Baby doosre packet mein hai , food dusre"
Aryan : "Papa ???"
Papa : "haan aryan baby ka box alag hai, dont worry"
Aryan : "okay"

-------------------------------------------


 
Next day at night , when he was lying next to me and moving his legs up and down quite fast.

Me : "Aryan aaise leg mat chalo , baby ke lag jayegi."
Aryan :" Main right leg hila raha hoon , baby ke nahi lagegi , main careful hoon."
Aryan :" Mumma jis packet mein baby hai uska naam kya hai"
Me : "Uterus"
Aryan : "ok"
Aryan : "Aapke paas baby diaper hai "
Me : "Nahi , jab baby aayega tab layenge"
Me : "Aryan , who will clean baby potty"
Aryan :" aap"
Me :" okay , and baby ko khana kaun khilayega "
Aryan : "aap"
Me : "acha , aur baby ko paaru kaun karega "
Aryan : "aap"
Me : "arre , aap paaru bhi nahi karoge , then aap kya karoge"
Aryan : *giggles* "main baby ko apne toys doonga , roz one toy" *giggles*
Me : "Aur Paaru"
Aryan : "ummm..okay ..main paaru karoonga , main abhi paaru kaaroon"
And gently starts moving his hand on my tummy.
"main softly kar raha hoon"
And then he wanted to see my tummy , to see the baby :)

-------------------------------------------

Aryan : "Mumma hum hema baby layenge ya Krish baby ?"
Mumma : "It will be Aryan's baby"
Aryan : "Hema or Krish"
Mumma : "You mean Boy or Girl ?"
Aryan : "haan"
Mumma : "Mujhe nahi pata Aryan , bhagwan ji jo baby denge wohi layenge"
Aryan : "Aap bhagwan ji se pooch lo na"
Mumma : "Aap pooch lo Aryan , aap bol do bhagwan ji ko aapko kaun sa baby chahiye"
Aryan :  Goes to a ganesha calender and comes back , "Mumma maine bhagwan ji ko bola mujhe Hema baby chahiye ,okay"

Okay Beta , Amen !

Cute!

One day during our cuddle time , I told Aryan : "Aryan aap mujhe itne pyare kyo lagte ho ?"

Aryan : "Kyoki main bahut CUTE hoon na "

Me : "Acha , yeh kisne bola "

Aryan : "Kyoki main bacha hoon na , bache bahut CUTE hote hai"

Me : "Is it ? Yeh kisne bola "

Aryan : "Anisha , usne bola bache CUTE hote hai" (She is his friend of same age)

Me : "okay" And a BIG KISS

Socho ki phulo ka shehar ho...aur usme kaun ho ?

Today during bath :




Mumma : "Socho ki phoolo ka shehar ho"

Aryan : "Lehro pe apna ek ghar ho "

Mumma : "Aryan ho Mumma ho Papa ho"

Aryan : "Baby ho"

Mumma : :-P



NOPE , there is no baby as of now , not even in making , however thats on his mind , thanks to all his friends with siblings , he wants "Aryan ka baby".

THE WHY

..is back.

Every sentence these days has WHY or KYO ?

Yesterday :

"Mumma paani mein dalne se kapde gile kyo ho jate hai "
Mumma scratching her head for an apt answer
Meanwhile son pops out the answer himself :
"Kyunki paani geela hota hai na !!!"

P.S : The lazy Mumma will try to post more often !! And the Cutie Aryan wishes everyone Happy New Year !

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 :-)

Who will sleep where ?

Yesterday at bed time :




Mumma : "Aryan aap apne room mein ninna karoge"

Aryan : "Nahi"

Mumma : "Kyo"

Aryan : "Phir mujhe darr lagega"

Mumma : "Kyo , darr kyo lagega , wahan aapka mickey mouse hai , doll hai , aapka painting hai"

Aryan Listening

Mumma : "Main pooh bear wala bedsheet bicha deti hoon aapke liye"

Aryan : "Kyo"

Mumma : "Phir pooh bear aapke saath soyega na , toh darr nahi lagega"

Aryan : "Nahi , mujhe mumma paas sona hai"

Mumma quiet for few minutes. Suddenly a bulb lights and Mumma recalls ~nm's talks to Anirudh. So she strikes a conversation on similiar note.



Mumma : "Aapko small baby lana hai na , phir baby kahan soyega"

Aryan : (Patting at where his dad sleeps) "yahan"

Mumma : "Phir Papa kahan soyenge"

Aryan : "Papa apna pillow leke , Us room mein"

Mumma : (Thinking that this conversation would end exactly like ~nm's and Anirudh's) "Phir dadu dadi aayenge toh woh kahan soyenge?"

Aryan : "Dadu big room mein bed par soyenge, dadi apna pillow leke sofa pe soyengi"

(We have a diwan in living room)



But Mumma was wrong , he is one step ahead of his cousin, who atleast thought dadi dadu can sleep with papa in the other room (since papa is their betu! ). My son has moved dadi to sofa altogether. I wonder how dadi would react to the news :-)

Jab main bada ho jaonga..

Yesterday at bedtime :




Aryan :"Mumma , jab main bada ho jaonga , main papa car mein office jaonga , laptop le ke"

Mumma : "okay"

Aryan : "Papa right side mein baithenge , aap peeche baithna"

Mumma :"okay"

Aryan : "Papa office jayenge, phir main aap ko ghumma leke jaonga"

Mumma : "okay :D" (Hugs him tight and showers with kisses)

Already buying me gifts :)

Yesterday night at bedtime "Mumma main aapke liye Papa car laonga aur keys bhi , theek hai , phir aap bhi Sanika ki mumma jaise car chalana..theek hai "

He wants to buy me a car like his dad's , with keys ofcourse , so that I can also drive car like other moms :)

Chocolates

Aryan suddenly comes and gives a very warm kiss to Mumma and says ,
"Mumma aapko chocolate khana hai"
Mumma : (surprised by sudden love and offer and thinking , lets see what he is upto) "haan, kahan hai chocolate?"
Aryan : "In the market"
Mumma : "Okay , so you will get from market?"
Aryan : "Yes , Aryan and Papa will get"
Mumma : "For me :-D"
Aryan : "yes , aapke liye aur Aryan ke liye "

Securing his chocolate in my name ..smart and wicked !

Tauji

Every kid has some one in the family who they admire. This person is like a role model for them and they like to grow up to be that person. For Aryan that person is his tauji (father's elder brother).

I knew this forever that Aryan adores and admires his tauji. He doesnot have a buddy kind of relationship with tauji, like he does with his Nanu. He doesnot cuddle or spends time chatting with tauji often, like he does with his dadi. But still he adores him. He cannot say NO to tauji. If tauji say sit , he would and thats not because of fear. He loves everything that tauji do and possess and this ofcourse includes tauji car :-D

Yesterday , Aryan and I were cuddling and talking when I asked him what he did during his day. Here is part of that conversation :

Mumma : "Lunch mein Aryan ne kya kya khaya ? "
Aryan : "Dal , chawal and vegetable." (pause) "Aap vegetable kyo dete ho ? "
Mumma : "Vegetable khate hai , vegetable khane se Aryan big aur strong ho jayega."
Aryan : "Mujhe vegetable nahi khana. "
Mumma : "Kyo "
Aryan : (Naughty smile )" Mujhe vomit aata hai..giggles "(Vomit is new word in vocabulary from recent stomach infection)
Mumma : (smiles )" Naughty boy ..aapko Anirudh bhaiya aur Honey Bhaiya (cousins) jaisa strong and big hona hai na ? "
Aryan : "haan ..main big ho jaoga. Anirudh bhaiya big ho kar tauji car chalayenge ??? "
Mumma : "Haan "
Aryan thinking
Mumma : "Aapko tauji car chalana hai ? "
Aryan : "No..phir tauji gussa honge na"
Mumma :" Nahi , aap big ho jaoge , toh tauji car chala lena , tauji de denge "
Aryan : "Main big ho jaonga , tauji small ho jayenge ?? "
Mumma : (laughs ) "Nahi tauji bhi big , Aryan bhi big "
Aryan : "Main specs lagaonga , tauji jaise "
Mumma :" ok "
Aryan smiles


Below are some rare pics of the moments Aryan shared with his tauji :-)
