“Amma, you gave me runaway grapes for snack today.” “What do you mean?” “One of them ran away while I was having them, so it must have been runaway grapes!” And so it has begun – the jokes! Do you think he will give it a rest now? I don’t. Linking with #MondayMusings and #MicroblogMondays

A week to remember! #FridayReflections
Last week was Kanna’s half term break. Last week we were busy with Kanna’s daily swim lessons, the visit to the library and the continuous rain. It was cold throughout. And of course, this week came and put the last one on the warmer side. 🙂 The swim class is around 25 minutes walk from our house and we walked and talked, a lot. Well, mostly he talked and talked and I listened. Sometimes he asked questions, forcing me to break my silence. And he does a lot of follow up with his questions. It was tiring to keep up […]
#MicroblogMondays – Funny bits from Kanna
Amma, I want cookies. You can give me as many as you would like, but don’t give me low numbers okay? Why is the sky never ending? Why is Mr.Bean called Mr.Bean, why not BT or George? You might have guessed the people involved in the conversation above. Yes, these are from my kid whose questions/statements/knowledge baffles me forever and ever. It is either funny or hysterical or puzzling or amusing. Whatever be it, the questions never end. The week before last one Kanna wasn’t well. He was down with fever, cold, cough, sore throat, etc. And eventually his dad […]
And off he goes..
Yesterday Kanna started his first day of Year one at his new school. Unlike last year, he was a little nervous this time. He talked less, answered only when he was asked, made less eye contact, but he didn’t say that he was nervous or anything of that sort. Yes, he is growing up and he is learning to keep calm regardless of how he is feeling. I, on the other hand, was very nervous. I didn’t show my nervousness either, I think so, I hope so! It’s a new school. Most of the kids know each other already. And […]
#MicroblogMondays – Because I’m 5 now!
Kanna celebrated his 5th birthday less than three weeks ago. He was very excited that his birthday was coming up. We thought once the birthday is done, the excitement will get settled and shelved in for the next year. After the birthday, every sentence of his is followed by “Because I am 5 now!” 5 is some big milestone as far as he is concerned. The other day while we were walking towards his school in the morning, he started running and I called out not to run because its slippery, he announced “but I am 5 now”! Most of […]
Kanna shares Wisdom!
Kanna was not well from last few days. He couldn’t go to school even today, that’s 3 days in a row. But being sick doesn’t make a 4-year-old to lay down and rest all the time. He wanted to play ‘the Yes-No’ game. In this game, one person tries to make the other one say yes or no. When you say yes or no, you are out of the game. He got this game from Peppa Pig. So it was my turn to make him say yes or no. And I started with my questions. Here goes: “Are you happy, […]
Future thoughts by Kanna!
Kanna wants a doggy and a baby. These two are in his list for quite some time now. To give us time, we told him that we get a doggy and a baby once we are back in Phoenix. But the truth is we don’t know if or when we will be back in Phoenix, just like we don’t know how long we are going to be here. Anyways, that suggestion seems to be working for him. He accepted that we can’t have a baby or doggy here, but we will have both when we are back in Phoenix. But […]
Kanna Strikes again
“Amma, I want to get married.” “You can get married when you are a big boy like Acha(dad). See, you are so little now. I have to drop and pick up you at the school. When you grow big and start going to work like Acha all by yourself then you can get married.” “But Amma, you used drop and pick up Acha when we were in Phoenix. Remember?” I was the designated driver of the house then. He was right. “So, can I marry now?” “But you are still small. I was dropping Acha at work and you are […]
We the Runners..
Yesterday we went for our first run as a family. My husband usually goes for running alone. This time the three of us ran together.And it was my first time running. I was skeptical going for running with my kid. But he did good. Kept his pace manageable for me to catch up with him. The experience was fulfilling at least for those 30 minutes. Oh no we didn’t run continuously for 30 minutes. We started off walking which soon turned into quick steps then set off running. Kanna made up a little song for us runners. We are the […]
