Llama Llamas acting in a drama!!

========================

 

I signed up both the kids to act in a panchatantra tale "Tiger and the brahmin". D called me and asked if they would be interested and asked if ashu can do the brahmin role. He said, "I am a brahmin, so i am the right person to act as a brahmin" and agreed to it immediately. Then, when she sent the script he wasn't too happy. Brahmin character was throughout the script with too many dialogs. lol.

 

AJ is elephant. the original plan is for him to just stand there and the narrator would say the lines, bue when Ashu was practising his lines AJ just learnt his and surprised everyone :)

AJ got his first certificate in Kumon and he said "Boy, i am so happy..i have been waiting for ever for a certificate :)" Ashu got two already and close to getting his third..but, with little kids they take tests in parts..so it takes more time and he was really worried about not getting one.

Took Aj for his well care checkup - almost 6 months overdue!! Had it postponed so many times due to something or the other. Last time i postponed because of Aj's fieldtrip and his teacher was asking me if i could postpone since it was a fun trip for the kids. So today when we went late and i told her i had been to the doctor she asked oh is it the one we asked you to postpone and i was quite surprised that she remembered. i didnt even remember i had to postpone because of that. First they poked his blood for bloodtest and aj whispered in my ears that i should never bring him there again..and then the doc gave him a sucker and he was all happy and said he liked that place after all! His doc is real fun. She knows how to talk to kids and made him feel at ease. She asked him to sing a song and he sang abcd and then she asked him to count with fingers and he started counting till 4 and started singing abc again!!

so much attachment to that song...then she asked him to draw mommy and he drew a big square and i was wondering if he's thinking i am that fat and then he drew a thin lady inside it and put a roof on top of the square. Phew! she asked what mommy does in the house and he said she walks around all the time :) I remember when Ashu was 4, he said i do dishes all the time! Thank God neither said i keep yelling 24/7!! 

 

The doctor said that he is way above average for height and average in weight, but when they take the height weight ratio he is really underweight :( I wasn't surprised though. I told her what a fussy eater he was and she gave him some advice. AJ didnt open his mouth. When i came out and asked him if he heard what she said about eating. He said, "Nope"!
