This week Sahej had a "Hold and Tell" competition. This was where he had to bring a thing to school and tell everyone some things about it. The thing can be a toy, teddy or a game. When I asked him, what will be his favorite thing which he wants to take to school, he was confused. Finally he decided to take his monkey along. But monkey being very small, we persuaded him to take his elephant. So we taught his a few line about his elephant and tried hard so that he can remember those. It was a tough task, but Sahej tried hard to remember.
When the contest was over, we asked his teacher about the result and she told us that he did fine in the class.
This Sunday, Sahej got himself a new toothpaste. he liked it so much that he took 2 of them. And all the while in the mall, he kept on holding those. When this morning, I asked him to brush his teeth with the new toothpaste, he went to select the one he wanted to open. But then he changed his mind and told me that he wont open these and will do the paste instead from the older one. When I asked him why, he told me that he doesnt want to open them. Finally I persuaded him to open one. When he started brushing his teeth, he asked me innocently "papa, is mein namak hai kya" (Dad, does this paste has salt in it). This was in reference to the ad on TV which tells that with salt in the paste, your teeth will not hurt. So much for innocence.
This week, Sahej also did his homework and also the extra work. He did that in the pursuit to watch the new CD I had bought him. Tell you what, you have to bribe your kids to do the stuff they originally have to do anyway.
Thanks
