I'm sure all of you would have seen these electric trampolines in the malls where they put a kind of a belt around the child and the kids are swinging up and high, to and fro and just having fun.
I used to be quite amused with that and last year when he was about 2.5 yrs young I tried to get him into it but he started crying within seconds. So we took him out immediately. And every time we would go to a mall, he will eye that trampoline and kids jumping interestingly but was never keen to do it himself. He would always say no when we would ask him if he wants to do it.
This Sunday as we went to a mall with his Nanu, he himself told us that he wants to do it and he added "Main nahi darunga" (I will not get scared). I was surprised and happy at the same time. But just to confirm I asked him again 2-3 times if he is sure he wants to di it and every time he would reply back "Sure!". Ok then...we went ahead and he waited anxiously for his turn. And he had such a wonderful time and was so happy. Although when he started to go a bit faster and to quite a height he did get uncomfortable a bit so we asked the operator to slow it down. And then the operator changed the mode from going up and down to the swing motion. And Anirudh loved it even more! I asked him "So who is this flying here? A Spiderman or a Superman?" He immediately answered "Spiderman!" :D
Here are some pics that I clicked from my phone ..ahemm..new phone! :D
And he loved it so much that everyday morning he asks me if we can go 'jumping' again and waving his hands up and down. And I have to tell him that we will go on a holiday or Sunday and he would then insist that today is Sunday! :D
Hey, where was this? Looks so familiar somehow.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it exciting when he gets over his fears at stuff?
Sue : This was at the Pacific Mall in Ghaziabad. Very close to New Delhi. His Nanu stays nearby and we had gone to spend the weekend there so visited this mall to do our grocery shopping from Spencers.
ReplyDeleteOk, I've never been there. Perhaps all malls look familiar to me these days. They all seem to have the same shops!
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know Anirudh had a lovely time :)
Isnt it amazing, the way we feel happy when we see our kids enjoying :)
