14th July - 20th July 2019

Which is best period for Parents in life of their kid?
Reply to this question is.
When your baby is 4 year old. Why I say this? Well, our Kabir turned four last month.
One: He is in KG, so no pressure of school or home work.
Two: Baby has learned many things by the time he/she is four year old.
Talking: Kabir is very talkative boy. Even when no one is around, he keeps talking to his toys. He loves to make stories, but his characters are Avengers or some one from youtube clips which he watches during his lunch or dinner.
Walking & dancing : Kabir loves to follow his heroes, from TV or YouTube. And he is very good in copying their style of walking and dancing. If his tune comes on TV, he leaves whatever he doing, and starts dancing till the tune ends.

Getting angry : His anger sits on tip of his nose. When he is in anger mood, even small tap by me on his shoulder will draw huge scream. And during the day, this happens many times. This is hereditary gift from Dhwani. And most of time, he fights in anger with Dhwani. Muskan is expert in diverting his attention. I make him more angry so that he realises that anger is unproductive, and stops getting angry.
Manipulating : When I talk with him in Sindhi or give him free advise or criticism, he says, "You are bad dadu." And when he wants something which his mother will not allow, like Gems, sweets, icecream etc, he will come to me and say, "I love you Dadu, lets go down and buy something."
Energetic activities. 'Boaa, lets do racing, ok, get set run.' Rinky or Chinky are his competitors nowadays. Of course they know, they are not allowed to win this game. We adults get tired soon enough, but he wants more races to win. We use Muskan tactics and divert his attention.

Then in evening he spends hour or so in society compound running around with 'Sayuam - सयम' and other boys. He loves to do cycling also.
My weight is in control due to his activities. I try to keep up with him, but I am finding it difficult to keep up with him, now.

Imagination : He has plenty of heroes to play with and make stories. Few months back, on his top of the list were Spider-Man, Captain America. With my help he would crawl on walls, strike his pose and say I am Spider-Man. Then on his birthday last month, he received Captain America tee shirt and sheild as gift. So for few days he was CA. Running around sheild, hitting and jumping.
Currently he is fan of Lion King from Disney's movie. Whenever TV shows advertisements of this movie, he strikes the Lion pose for 20 seconds till advertisements is over. Shah Rukh dialogue has impressed him a lot. 'मैं तुम्हारे साथ हू....'
In all these activities, innocence is plenty which makes it very enlightening and entertaining.
Manju returned from Singapore on 18th. After Sharat wedding she has become free bird. She left Pune on 26th june, stayed at Neha house for week or so, went to Singapore. All her sisters also joined her there. This will be vacation of nearly a month.
Rashmi flew to Chennai to her maika for three days 'me' time.
Lali and Sharat are also in Mumbai, hopefully they will have gala time.
