Another week passes by...

Hi

As another week passed by, Sahej was busy going to School, watching his CD's, doing his homework and playing. His fancy dress never happened due to reasons unknown. Rest all went well at his school. He is now able to write all the alphabets himself and can write most of the digits as well. Last sunday, when Jovita was out shopping, he sat with me and wrote all the alphabets and digits till 30 on his notebook. Not bad in terms of progress considering that about a couple of months back, he was not able to hold a pencil correctly and his teacher had asked us to get him practice more. Now a days, he can be seeing drawing the alphabets in mid air as well. I mean it....He tries to write the alphabets with his hands making the movement in air. And along with this action, he describes how the alphabet can be written, like for example, to draw a "T", he would move his hands in air and say "yeh 1 banaya, then sleeping line babanyee"(Draw a "1" and then draw a sleeping line on it).

On Saturday, we went to Sahib Sindh Sultan for dinner. There all the time Sahej was busy humming the tune "Dhan te Taan". After every 5 minutes or so, he used to sing the tune loudly, much to our entertainment and embarrassment.

Yesterday, we watched "New York" on CD. Sahej woke up early yesterday and when he saw that his mummy has brought the CD to watch, he was jumping up and down with excitement to start watching it. I was trying to sleep at that time and Jovita told him that we will watch the movie together along with our breakfast. He initially agreed to it, but when Jovita told him that this film also start Katrina Kaif(he is a big fan of Katrina and is often embarrassed when we catch him watching/ogling her, one day I had caught him watching Katrina photoraphs in a jovita's magazine), he just jumped from the bed in delight and started urging his mother to watch the movie at once. When not being able to persuade him to wait, which he was not eager to, now knowing fully well that he Katrina was in the movie, he finally started watching the movie alone. In the end, when Katrina was killed, he was sad and told her mummy "yeh movie kyon laaye, yeh achhi nahin hai"(why did you brought this moview, its no good). In one scene, when hero is watching the lift as his friend departs, he simply asked me "yeh lift kyon dekh raha hai"9why is he watching the lift). In another scene, when Jovita was laughing load with her hands on her tummy, he asked "kya hua, pet dard ho raha hai kya"(is your stomach aching)

He is now a days very excited to go outdoors. These days there are a lot of Ganesh ji idol's in the city on mark of Ganesh Chaturthi. He searches for these idols every time we go out and then goes and bows in respect to them. He even promised that day to complete his homework before watching TV, never to lie. But we know how much he is going to follow these promises.

See ya

"Why did you took this book"

Hi

As entioned earlier, last week due to Sahej's illness and his missing ou on school, he got a lot of homework. He was able to finish all his latest assignements, but was not able to complete his earlier works of doing 3 and 4 in the maths book. On monday when he went to school, he was asked to do a 8 on the same maths note book. When school finished, instead of returning the book to mad, our Sahej brought the book home. When I asked him about school he told me that they did a 8 in school. In his diary, I was not able to see any reference to his teacher sending the homework, yet there was his maths book in his bag with unfinished 8 page. When I asked him about this, Sahej told me the real story. He thought that because he has not finished his home work, he didnot handed the book to his teacher and instead brought it home. What a thinking....

I mean, he is so young to have duped his teacher by not submitting his note book.

I asked him not to repeat this again. The next day surely his teacher asked him "why did you took the book" and Sahej told her the truth. Thankfully his teacher understood and asked him not to repeat this and let him off without any punishments.

This week on friday, Sahej was to participate in Fancy Dress competion in which he was to enact any add. So we both, Munna n me, thought about the adds he can do. We thought of 3 adds-1) Surf excel add in which a sardar boy runs, falls, sees his dirty clothes, goes to his mother and says 'gande ho gaye, daag achhe hai, surf hai na". 2) Maruti add in which a sardar boys keeps runnign in the house with his small car and when asked about it responds to his father "ki kara, petrol khatam hi nahin hunda". 3) Boomer add in which the boy plays with boomer and says "thoda khao, thoda khelo".

Munna wanted him to do the surf add because she thought that Sahej looked the part. So yesterday, we bought him a small surf bar and got him to remeber the lines and prepare for it. Its so difficult to ask childrens to practice because they think that they will be able to do the act without practice. It took us 2 chocolates and a bag of chitos to finally persuade him to practice. And to tell the truth, he managed to act good.

Today, we wore him his white kurta pazama and reminded him of his lines. he went to school where he was to act. Now I am told that the competetion never happened. Anyways, he did practiced and is ready to act as and when the time comes.

Down with Stomach Infection

Hi

Last week, Sahej came home from school and started complaining about stomach pains. He was also having high fever. His nanny panicked about the symptoms being related to Swine flu. I rushed home and gave him medicines. He was crying very loudly with hands on his stomach. We showed him to a doctor in the evening and he cleared our doubts that its just a stomach infection and not a Swine Flu. Thank God!!!!. We were so scared...but thankfully it was just a stomach infection.

He rested for the next 2 days and didnt go to his school. Friday was his school holiday on eve of Janamashtmi. So he had a long break. Munna brought his homework from School where his teacher also gave the classwork which he was supposed to complete. So Sahej was drowned in a huge pool of homework and classwork.

To our constant intervention and to Sahej's following our requests, he was able to complete al his work by Saturday itself. And on sunday, he was in no mood to touch his books. Who can argue with him about that. After doing so much homework, even I would have thrown by books out of the door.

That day when we were coming after showing him to his doctor, Munna was asking me to buy her some shoes. She had liked one shoe in Central and I had not allowed her to buy that one, and she was complaining about it. And to this our Sahej just sweetely asked munna "to woh kal nahin milega kya"(So will that shoe not available tomorrow)....meaning go tomorrow and buy it...big deal. So sweet of him...

Now a days, he is kind of following my instructions very well. And he does not follow his mummy's instructions at all. It seems like a role-reverser for him. When earlier he used to bash me along with munna, now a days its munna who is at the recieving end. When ever I want him to do a thing, all I have to say is "dono boys karenge"(we both boys will do it) and he is ready to board the ship. He keeps calling his mumma as Lalaji when earlier it was me who was called by this name. i am really enjoying it....but what about munna?

Chalo will update more

First Report Card

Hello

Saturday was Sahej's PTM in DPS. When we went there, we were shown his notebooks for the first time. The books showed us that Sahej was strugling with his writing earlier. But after his teacher had recommended that we get him practice at home, and we started making him do him homework himself, there was a marked improvement. His teacher also seconded this opinion. We were then shown his marks in 3 tests that Sahej had undergone. His scores were 21, 20 and 19 in the three tests out of the total of 25. 80% is not a bad score at all, but his mother is targetting 90%.

Weekend was hectic with Munna working i office. Me n Sahej tried to spend the day by making him do some of his homework, then playing basketball with him. Yesterday, we tried to do skates with Sahej waering his new Skate boots. But he kept falling and smiling as well.

Chalo will update more later.

Happy Birthday Sahej

Hello

Last Saturday was 1st Aug. It was Sahej's 4th Birthday. And as expected, we did had a small celebration for him at our home.

We had planned for the celebration around a week or two back. We had bought the return gifts and the decoration material. The thing to do was getting the stuff ready. Sahej had earlier in the week told us his feelings regarding the cake cutting. He told us "mumma, jab 12 ho jayenge na to aap light off kar dena and main cake cut kar doonga"(Mom when its 12 in the night, you turn the light off and I will cut the cake). So we had planned for him to cut his first cake at 12 in the night. Munna bought the cake and also ordered a bigger cake for the celebrations later in the day. Sahej was so excited to cut the cake. He did not get terified of the burning candle and also didnot needed our assistance in cutting the cake. He did the whole thing quite happily. We had a lot of fun clicking the pictures and then rubbing the cake all over Sahej's face.

On the 1st Aug, his birthday, we started getting ready the stuff for his celebrations. Munna and mummy were in the kitchen busy making the dishes. I was hip hopping between home and market to fetch the things. I also got the decorations part done by blowing a large number of balloons and then making a bunch of 7-8 balloons and hanging them together. At 5 we were ready to start the bash. Sahej wore his new birthday dress of white check Benetton shirt, blue benetton capri and his white shoes. He looked as handsome and royal as can be.

His freinds started coming around 5.30 and then Sahej was happy to greet thema nd collect his gifts. Then they all started playing games and having chips and cold drinks. When all the guests were present, we cut his birthday cake, a mickey mouse shaped black forest cake. We had the party poopers, a big balloon burst. Sahej was so happy all time along. Then started the eating part. Childrens were happy with the music, dance and their pipers. Adults were busy eating and chatting. All in all the celebration was a hit and everyone had a blast.

Sahej was very lucky in the way that his birthday was coincided with 2 Guru Granth Sahib path bhogs. On his birthday, his dady(grand mother) had did the bhog in her Yamuna Nagar home, in spite of the operation and the pain. And on 2nd Aug, sunday, his nany had to do the bhog. We had already talked to the gurudwara members regarding the bhog and we had planned a langar for his celebrations. So we went to Secunderabad gurudwara saahib where his path bhog was completed. Later they gave a "Saropa" to Sahej for his birthday. Then there was langar to celebrate his birthday. All in all a very satisfying birthday celebration.

To mark the closure for his celebrations, we went to Lifestyle and got him his remote car. Its a huge car which runs on a battery. And true to his nature, Sahej got himself a Harry Potter CD as well. And to add to that munna got him a basket ball as well. When we reached home, Sahej was busy opening his gifts. Then he completed his homework as fast as he could so that he can start watching his harry potter CD. But before watching the whole movie, he was fast asleep owing to a lot of restlessness related to 2 days of celebrations.

Hppy birthday Sahej. May Babaji offer his choicest blessings upon you and you get the best of everything. Waheguru bless you with everything good. May success be on the path you take and you remain the best kid that can ever be....

Blessings again...
