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.
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
We are hunting for a house, since our current land lord wants to sell his.
So obviously the son asked why we have been looking at empty houses and I explained. This was followed by a series of questions :
1. Mumma will you take my car to the new house ?
Ofcourse I said. We will take all your toys
2. And Papa's car?
Yeah
3. Mumma how will we take bed ?
In truck
4. But how will the bed come out of the door ??
It will , you will see when uncle will take it out
5. But mumma where will I have Malai if we change house ?
(Malai is the soft cocunut layer from tender coconut, we have a tender coconut shop right in front of our apt)
LOL ! Don't worry Aryan , we will find new Malai wala near new house :)
(Sigh ..after more than an year he stopped refering this house as "New Ghar" and forgot about our old house and now we will shift again ..such is life !)
Mumma : "Aryan aaj maam ne school mein kya karaya"
Aryan : "Mujhe kya pata , maam ko pata hoga na !!! "

"Abhi theek nahi hai :D :D"
Yeah thats the answer you will get when you ask him this question. Don't miss the grins at the end.
He has fever since the day school started and so he is not going to school. The fever is high when its there but the gap between the fever is about 10 hours or so. So in these 10 hours the kid is happy and active except when you offer him food. Or when you ask him , "aapki tabiyat kaise hai"
Since no fever means the end of extended vacation with no school and no daycare :)
These kids are too smart for parents :P
..on Saturday June 4th 2011
..it was actually his first movie anywhere ..he never sat through a movie even on TV !!
..it was none other than the Kungfu Panda 2
..I loved the amused look on his face and the N number of questions during the movie
..the parents loved the movie more than the kid did :)
This letter has a special reason sweetheart. We all SAW you ..yeah this saturday we all saw you :):)
And you were thinking something really important, with your eyes closed and your hand on your forhead , covering half of your eye. When dotor focused on other parts of body , you removed your hand for a while but again had it back as soon as she focussed your face again. Were you feeling shy is what I wonder :)
Your papa thinks you look like your bhaiya , especially your nose :) Which also means you look like your mumma :D :D
Your bhaiya was quite zapped to react. He just asked why are you not looking at us and why you have your eyes closed.
Your papa came home running with the reports and spent good time looking at your pictures again.
I am still not able to get over your face. I can still see it so clearly. And the pose where you have your legs up in the air and you were trying to kick :)
Hugs sweetie , grow well :)
Love
Mumma
