Benefits of online booking

Accha sent a cake for Adi today. It got delivered around 1030. It is a pineapple cake with a cute card that says - Happy Birthday to Adi from Acchaccha & Acchi.

 

He was saying that there is this website where you can chat with the people who take the booking. He was assured by them that they will deliver it before 400PM.

 

Not bad huh..

 

He had similarly sent cakes for Adi's last bday & for Tush's bday. That was through a different website though.

 

He is a big believer in online booking.. :)

 

Its funny how he takes so easily to technology where as I am still struggling with the developments in the technology world. :)

 

Amazing

Something amazing happened today.

 

It is Adi's bday today. Accha called in the morning around 700PM to wish him. He was asleep (surprising !!). Accha normally heads to office around 720-730. Today he waited till 745 and called again. Chotoo was on his throne. Well, never happened that Accha delayed work to wish Ajitha or me.. well.. grandchildren do make a big change.. :)

 

Well.. he gracefully said "Thank YOu" when wished Happy bday..

I want to watch TV

During dinner, normally, all of us gather around the table and have it. At times, if there is a really interesting program then that particular person would watch TV.

 

There was the India-Aus warm-up world cup match going on yesterday and I was having pizza and watching it.

 

Adi dutifully sat on the table. He was quite perked up with the loud peals of laughter emanating from me. So, he tells Tush

 

Adi: Amma, Adi go there eat.. watch TV with accha eat..

 

Once Tush said ok… it was cute to watch him hold the plate carefully, come to me and trying to haul himself onto the bed with the plate in his hands.. :)

 

He is increasingly using conjunctions.. and prepositions.. nice..

 

Accha snores a lot

This incident happened on saturday. Given below are the details as described by Tush:

 

Adi gets up. I am in the loo. He tells Tush

Adi: Amma, Adi no sleep with Accha

Tush: Why mone?

Adi: Accha grrrrrrr sleep

 

:) .. my wife laughed her head out. After years of complaining about my snoring, she finally has one more person providing her company in her cribs.. :)

Make believe story

After a long vacation, a lot of us don't feel like going to office / school. Adi is no better. After a 2 week vacation, on monday when he woke up, the first thing he said was as follows:

Adi: Amma.. office close

Tush: No monu.. amma going to office..

Adi: huhhuhu (attempting to cry)

Tush: ok ok..

Adi: Amma office close. Adi home sit. Accha.. office going?

Me: Yes monu.

Adi. Amma office close. Adi home sit.

 

Then, started the regular drama, where after each activity like making him drink milk or making him shit or having bath or brushing his teeth or having breakfast, he would re-iterate at least 5 times that amma's office is closed and school no.

 

Around 815 he saw that Tushara was getting ready to office.

Adi: Adi home sit. Adi, pappa park going.

 

All of us, obviously are trying to entice him with facts that you would have Latisha / Vedika / Arihant in school and that he will go by bhaiyya car. Each of this was met by a firm "Adi home sit. Adi, pappa park going".

 

After his breakfast, we got him dressed. He kept telling "School no". I kept telling yes.. no school.

 

Now, waiting near the lift.

 

Tush: Adi, amma going to office

Adi: Bye. Adi home sit.

 

When he sees me putting on my sandals.. Adi: huhuh(trying to cry).

 

Me: Why are you crying? We are going down to say bye to Amma

Adi: haan.

 

In the lift,

 

Me: Adi, are you going to school?

Adi: No, Adi home sit. Adi, pappa park going.

 

We subsequently said bye to Tushara and are waiting on the porch for his car to come.

 

Adi: Adi no school. Bhaiyya car vavu. Adi home sit. Adi,pappa park going.

Me: That is  ok. Accha is going to school. Can you put me in bhaiiya car

Adi: (smile). haan. Accha go school. Adi home.

Me: how will you go home?

Adi: Lift

Me: Can you go on your own?

Adi: haan

Me: Ok, so will you put in me Bhaiyya car?

Adi: Haan. Accha go school. Adi home sit.

 

Finally, the car arrives and I push him into the car, much to his discomfort. He gives me a glowering look and then turns away refusing to say bye to me.

 

Interesting times in the morning. I wonder how did he ever imagine that I would go to school.
