School ? No, no, nooooo!

It's been quite some time that Chinni has started going to play home. Unfortunately, or fortunately, she had more breaks than her attendance. She took almost a month's leave after completing the first week. Who gets such rare chance, it can only be at this age. Once she starts going to school, I am afraid she can ever enjoy one such vacation.

And not only that, once in 2 weeks there is definitely a holiday. There isn't dearth of holidays in India, but hardly few can realize them, except kids and government employees.

Well, now that Chinni has been attending play home sessions, she has identified the path from our house. She immediately reacts "school byada" (don't want school) if we step on that road. The reluctance has started appearing now itself. Myself and N are much worried how will she go to school if this continues ?

Even after reluctance to go to play home, we haven't received any complaints from the care takers. She plays normally and doesn't remember pappa and ammi, hopefully a good sign. Now that N is going to start her working from tomorrow, I am worried how will Chinni manage without both of us. It's never been a situation where we both have left her alone, except for couple of unavoidable circumstances.

Iksha is going to complete 2 years on 23rd this month. It's been amazing till now with all sort of experience. I remember the day when I first took her in my arms and she was fast asleep, totally unaware of where she has stepped in. After the first 2 years, she has learnt so many many things which is truely astonishing for both of us. 

I don't think it's easy to identify colors, sing rhymes, count numbers from 1 to 10 along with pappa, play simple games on mobile, sleep listening to songs, identify Mr Bean, Chota Bheem on pogo, Barney, Thomas, Tulli etc on tv, select which dress to wear depending on the colors, pictures on them, identify animals, fruits, vegetables in books.........for a 2 years old child.

I know she will learn lot more in the next year, but I hope she will gain more on behavioral aspects. There is learning at each step of life, hoping she will identify what is good and what is bad.

Wish you a very Happy 2nd Birthday, in advance, Chinni. Btw, she can say "Happy Birthday to you" too :)
