Ishan demanded a white board similar to one in the school, so he got the white board, duster and red, green, blue & black marker pens. Now he is so happy and has started teaching all of us. It is mandatory to attend the lessons and follow his instructions else he replies like teacher "Why are you not saying 1,2, 3?? " "Tumko sikhaya hai na" he even gives complements for correct replies!

Now he saw a whileboard having 'black' corners somewhere and has started demanding for this. In addition to this he thinks 'black' duster also needs to be bought else it will be mismatch with the whiteboard (having black corners) So here we are looking for tips of how to convert a normal white board into something as below

can we get only corners in the market? Probably not .. then will repainting work? again probably not!

ईशान साधारण अडीच वर्षाचा असताना बाल्कनीतून एक मोठी कुंडी हलवून घरात आणण्याचा प्रयत्न करत होता. त्याला विचारलं की अरे तू काय करत आहेस तर उत्तर असा आलं - " अरे झाडाला ऊन लागत आहे न म्हणून सावलीत आणत आहे " !! So innocent emotions! I was really touched!

ईशान च whiteboard वर लिहिणे सुरु होते
१,२,३ काढताना ३ चे spring संपताच नव्हते।
मी त्याला ३ कसे काढायचे ते दाखवले। .
Still he was unable to write it correctly. Then he told me "मम्मा अरे मी ३ capital मध्ये लिहितो आहे म्हणून असा आहे !" It was an amusing answer!!

Few days back when we returned from Guajarat Trip, he demanded that Petrol Pump should be bought and kept in the Parking so that he can fill in the Petrol as and when needed!! I actually went to a toy shop and asked for petrol pump toy but its not available .. :( Ishan can identify all the petrol pumps when they are at distant just by looking at their logo.. BHarat Petrol Pump, HP Petrol Pump, Indian Oil etc are all known to him.

Today morning Ishan demanded that I should buy Sugar cane juice machine in the home so that he can produce sugar cane juice!!

Ishan speaks a combination of Marathi-Hindi-English now. Many a times he uses feminine verbs in Hindi e.g. "karati hun", "likhati hun" etc. I correct and tell him the muscular form that he should use "Karta hun", "likhata hun". I told him that boys speak "karata hun" while girls say "karati hun".
these days his school is practicing dance on the song "Lungi dance" for annual function. he has listend to that song atleast a hundred time so far. The other day when I was also enjoying with him the song and was singing I said a line of the song "Rokega mujhko kaun aur kayko"
Immediately he told me "Mamma, are you a boy? No na, then you should say "Rokegi mujhko kaun aur kayko"! If you are a boy only then you should say "Rokega mujhko kaun aur kayko"!! I was completely surprised to see him applying the language rules for the song!

21-Jan-2014 Ishan was playing office-office using a briefcase like folder. I asked him, where is your office, which company? he thinks for few seconds and replies "Bachpan Infosys" :) Bachpan his school name and Infosys my company name! :)
