The other day, I was trying to clean the floor of my living room which like always was strewn with A-juniors toys. He was busy drawing.
Me: A, can you please clean up your toys?
No response.
Me[slightly higher tone]: A, Did you not hear? Please clean up your toys...
No response.
Me[trying to keep cool]: A, please put away your toys, and if you do it neatly enough I shall put on a NICE movie for you.
No response, slight tilt of head.
Me: A, I REALLY want you to put away your toys neatly. I will switch on a NICE movie for you...
Looks up, thinks something, says, "Mama, can you put on a BAD movie for me now?"
New models are definitely smarter....

The junior
..So the big question is, why suddenly on this 15th of Feb, 2008 did I start to blog? What really triggered this sudden action? What actually is the purpose of this blog? Whats special? whats new? whats interesting?
Hold on folks, I have no clue!
I just "felt " like doing it today......
I think that dominant factor in this whole episode is that recently I have visited some blogs where parents make a note of the nice anecdotes of their children....which inspired me!
A-junior (thats how I shall refer to the 3.5 yr old , absolutely fantastic boy I have) has just started to speak...every day he surprises us with his funny-yet-small vocabulary....we smile, enjoy but also forget the exact comment as the days go by...mostly replaced by a funnier and happier comment he makes...
This place can be such a nice diary to monitor "his growth.."..
I am infact a bit sad that I did not start this earlier.....Actually I am still a very pen-and-paper type person..I prefer "writing" to "typing". So I started scribbling down stuff when A-junior was born...Initially it went quite fast...I made albums with handwritten notes but gradually the time constraint came in [I know, its a lame excuse] .
The point I am trying to make is that NOW I realize that "typing" can be done even while at work...so.......
;-))
...better late than never.......what do you say?
