Sahej is soon becoming a walking calender of the sorts.
He has now-a-days a habit of asking everything in terms of date/time. Whenever we say "1 minute", he asks "tell me the time". Everything around him is metered in terms of time and remembered in terms of date. Tell him any date and ask him to tell what twas the day on this date, he will think about for a minute and then tell the exact day. Not joking.....that day, me n Jovita tried this and he answered all our queries correctly. Don't know how he has the calender in his mind, but my guess is he remembers every saturday and Sunday dates and then when any date is given to him, he just calculates based on the date on the nearest Saturday/Sunday. Pretty amazing....
And now for the bad part. Bechara Sahej. His school has decided to stop all Saturday offs, and to rub salt in the wounds, have also decided to go away with Winter vacations. Hmmmm...Thats a blow to Sahej as how will he plan his Saturdays now. He has a fixed plan for these days and that is made days ahead. He will remember the movies which are coming, the channels on which they will be coming and the time. So that he does not miss out on his movies. But what happens now.....
Yesterday when I got the news and I was teasing him for this news, he just smiled and answered "Thats OK Papa. I like to go to school. I want to study". Pretty brave front shown by you my dear son.
Last night, Sahej while going to sleep was telling me about a weird dream he had the night before. He told me in that dream, he was along with Jovita and his nanny. When I asked why was I not in the dream, he smiled, thought for a moment and gave the answer. Wanna know what it was. Hold it......He told me "You were not in the dream because Papa you were in the toilet". Hmmmm....imaginations and story making are ingrained in kids....
Chalo more later
