Reflection

How did we get in there? Growl asks me looking at his reflection in his book on Curly the Pig.

You have grown. Your endless banter makes me laugh.

You know all Bodhidharma's clients. You dream of going to Hong Kong in Dragon Air.

You google, click, search for images.

You've started working on puzzles and we cycle whenever I am strong enough to take you.

Everyday I think shouldn't I be recording all this? But all I do is listen.

One day I lost my temper as you refused to eat. Now I think that storm is over. LKG is almost over. Peanut now has a grip on his pencil.

Growl is trying to read. You can count till 30.

Counseling

Peanut has a counselor.

I think thats why he didn't have any lunch today.

I hate schools...he tells me yesterday.

Well, we have a long way to go Peanut. Its good to be troubled now and happy later.....I was happy as a child and later on I grew troubled.....oh don't worry. You know amma....troubled...its an in-the-head thing.

Don't worry Peanut....Growl too... you know there is this whole credit-snatching business going on with me at work. But I was thinking today...who needs credit when she has you?

And I thought that by the lift, looking out of the grill.I love you both.

Peanuts

Had a parent teacher meet and four year Peanut seems to have an attention problem. Turns out he may need a one-to-one twice a week.....wonder how you'll take it Peanut. It's ok really....today the idea is to spare the rod and be more compassionate....that takes more time....but i think you'll come out fine.

You are such a carefree child. Which is how you must always be.You are only four.

Tiny tot.
