Nursery and the changes

Continued from the earlier post.

Arya’s school has reopened. He has moved from playgroup to nursery. He is going there with full force (i.e. one of us pushing him from behind). He cries until he becomes red in the face, with water running out of the nose, eyes and mouth. It is funny and exasperating at the same time!

He comes back and narrates the day’s teachings to us. Some of his friends from last year might have joined some other school. This guy suddenly remembers them and says ‘Mummy, Devesh kiti vasta yenar aahe school la?” or “Mummy Atharva ajun ala nahi school madhe. Late aahe ka toh?”

Poor guy. He really connects with people after a long time, and once done, he doesn’t forget them easily. By that time people move on.

He was upset cause there was a ‘Tai’ in his earlier class to open his tiffin, feed him and other kids, and take care of them like a nanny. Now he has another Tai. And the other Tai doesn’t come in this class.

His classroom also got changed. He was telling Yogesh that they don’t take him to his classroom,
they take a turn and go to some other room. It is funny to hear.

He has learnt some new rhymes immediately. One is in the Old-Mac-Donald’s tune and goes like this -

‘Vegetables are good for me,
E-I-E-I-O,
And so I eat them happily,
E-I-E-I-O’

We tried telling him the meaning of it and making him eat veggies. No luck.

He didn’t eat chapatti in tiffin, but ate the idlis that Yogesh gave him yesterday. He said Ayush brings Biscuits and Abhiram brings bananas. So he notices. I have to make sure he eats chapatti bhaji in dabba.

He is still shy and can’t make other kids give him toys or bikes to play. I want him to improve on this. Negotiation and influencing!

To be continued...
