Book Report

Like i said earlier in this post, Ms.O had given a book report for the book club. It was on American Hero. Ashu had picked Thomas Alva Edison. I put dinosaur train for Aj and started cooking and asked Ashu to work on his book report. When i said 'Work on it'..i actually meant 'Start reading the book and i'll come join you'..but the kid had already read the book once at school, so wrote a one page report in that time. I was quite impressed. He did a good job, but he only covered the earlier part of his life. Then, i sat with him and told him that he should note down important points in the book and then form sentences over it and write a complete report. I wrote down the highlights and he completed it. While doing this, i thoroughly enjoyed reading about Edison and his inventions too. I dont remember if i learnt all about him when i was in school..all i could remember was the light bulb :-O
Guess mommy's learning with the kids..Better late than never! :D


Yday i took a day off since i was not feeling well. Didn't send Aj to daycare either. He was pretty good. didn't trouble me but i ended up taking two long calls (work related) and had to reply to few mails..so effectively i got only 1/2 day off :( Anyways, in the evening when i woke him and said it's time to pick up Ashu he was so happy and said i'm so happy to see ashu..As soon as we came home he started fighting with Ashu for silly things. I guess he didnt complete the sentence earlier.. 'I'm so happy to see ashu so i can fight with him and have real fun unlike spending a boring uneventful day with mommy' :-)

I let him do step aerobics on wii since he wanted to do and he was obviously doing it all wrong and he still managed to get some perfects and oks :D
