Aadi has been saying such hilarious
things lately that we are finding it hard to record everything. He is very well
aware that he is making “jokes” and each delivery is accompanied by mischievous
smiles !! Here are a few from last week.
1.
Suvo
was trying to teach Aadi “opposites”.
Suvo:
The opposite of ‘up’ is ‘down’.
Aadi:
Oh.
Suvo:
The opposite of ‘light’ is ‘dark’.
Aadi:
just stares and digests.
Suvo: (Trying
to tease ….) Aadi now your turn. What is the opposite of ‘Aadi’.
Aadi: (Thinks
for a sec …..and says smiling) …. its “Diya” !!!!

Aadi is in the night time potty
training phase. He is trying to stay dry through the night. As soon as he wakes
up in the morning he goes to the bathroom and removes his night time pull up.
This is hard for a 4 yr old as all he wants to do at that time is cuddle and
drink milk in bed. So to encourage his self-help behavior I am trying to
profusely praise him when he is able to go through with the morning routine
himself. The other morning, I heard a rustling sound and even before I made it
to the kids room, Aadi was already in the bathroom. I was so thrilled, I told
him, “Aadi, I am so so proud of you. You woke up and first thing you did is
open your pull up. You are such a big boy now.” Aadi thought about it for a second
and said, “Mamma, I waked up and first thing I did was to open my eyes” !!!! I
assured him he was still a “big boy” and that opening the eyes first is a
really good idea! J

Diya’s school had a fundraiser and the
grand prize for whoever raised the most funds was a trip to Dairy Queen in a Limousine!!
Diya was so excited she was explaining this to us the other day. Aadi
interrupted her and asked, “What is a Limousine?” Diya explained to him that it
is the looooooong car that you see in the movies. Aadi’s response was, “Hmmm,
then they should call the prize ‘Dairy McQueen’ !!” J
