This clever little boy..
...he knows which door to knock in what situation. As I was talking a to a friend I remembered an incident from the trip to Jaipur that we recently took to meet his grandparents.
We had booked tickets for a 6 AM Volvo on Saturday, May 24. And we had a dinner to go to on Friday night. I was trying to pack up quickly after coming back from dinner as I wanted to sleep early as I had to wake up at 4 AM. Anirudh was so excited about the trip that he just wouldn't sleep. He, by his own words, was trying to help me but was as such being more of a pain than any help. So I kept shouting at him to go to bed and so did Hubby.
So when we reached Jaipur, Betu's Dadu was waiting at the bus stop to pick us up. When I told Hubby to tell to papa that there is no need to come to pick us up and we will come by auto, hubby said "Woh humein thode hi lene aatey hain. Woh to apne pote ke liye aate hain"(He doesn't come to pick us up. But to pick his grandchild) :D
Coming back to the incident, the moment Betu saw his Dadu, he ran towards him and was promptly picked up by his dadu and given tight hugs. Once through with the hugs and all, Betu poured out all his woes that how he got scolded yesterday night by Papa-Mumma and that he (Dadu) should scold us back! :)
Now what do you call this little imp of a boy!!??

Learning to skate
Betu has been learning to skate at his daycare for the past 2-3 weeks and he is actually enjoying it good. Earlier I had enrolled him into self defense activities but since for 10 days he was the only student, they discontinued and I had the choice of sending him to either Skating or Dance. I preferred skating since its an outdoor activity.
About 2 weeks ago I met him coach and he said he is the best amongst the lot and has lot of control and balance. But..yes..there the but butts in here...when he sees a particular boy fall down, he will come to the same spot where that boy fell and would intentionally fall down there! *rolling my eyes*
I told this thing to his Nanu one day, he said, "Toh badhiya hai. Pata chalta hai ki kitna control hai. It shows what precision he has on the balance and control" (Its good. It shows how much control he has). I had nothing to say in response to his Nanu's logic :)
These grandparents I tell you...they always find good things in whatever their grand kids do!!

Chaddi 'pahen' kar phool khila hai..
Today morning while I was getting him dressed after his bath..I know I know..lot of cour converstaions are from the getting-dressed-after-bath times but what to do. Its either the mornings or evenings after I pick him up from the daycare that our converstaions happen.
So coming back to the beginning, so as I was getting him dressed I told him "betu ne to aaj Beyblades vest and beyblades underwear pahna hai!" Pointing to his vest he replied "Yeh beyblades baniyaan hai!". So I told him "Baniyan to English mein Vest kahte hain". And then I continued to tell him "Aur underwear to hindi mein kachha kahte hain!". He immediately piped in "Nahi..usko chaddi kahte hain!"
I just couldn't control my laughter hearing hte word chaddi and started to giggle. He was quite amused at my reaction and kept saying "Chaddi" just to make me laugh. And then I remembered the title song of "Jungle Book" in hindi which went something like this:
जंगल जंगल बात चली है, पता चला है
अरे, चड्डी 'पहन' के फूल खिला है, फूल खिला है!
एक परिंदा है शर्मिंदा - था - वो - नंगा !
अरे, इससे तो अंडे के अन्दर - था - वो -चंगा !
सोच रहा है , बाहर आखिर क्यों निकला है ( अरे, रे रे रे रे !)
अरे चड्डी ’पहन’ के फूल खिला है फूल खिला है.....

What ideas!!
Yesterday night he came to the living room carrying a bowl of water. I easily understood that he is going to start painting now.
The next minute he walked in with a dry broken branch, that he had been carrying as a prized possession since the past 2 days.
And then he started to paint. Paint not on paper but on the branch. You should have seen the concentration on his face. And when I clicked him, he turned towards me with his brows furrowed and anger look which said "Why are you disturbing me?"
