Hurray! Chinni got admission to nursery. That's a big relief. She will start schooling from June 2012. Oh my god, she is so grown up now, I can't believe. Time is just flying.
Before the admission formalities, there was an interactive session for her, equivalent to the interviews faced by us before getting a job. I wasn't with her, but N was, since Chinni refused to go alone. So what happened? I got to know only after it was complete.
Chinni and N went to a room with lot of toys, dummy fruits etc etc, a typical for kids to learn. Chinni was asked to identify a few, which in fact she knows but was little scared to speak up at first. Then she slowly started responding. N put forth a question -
N : How many hair clips do you have ?
Chinni : four
The lady: What is the color of your pant?
Chinni : Black (was a spontaneous response)
Four has been her favorite number since long time. Even now, after she has learnt 1 to 10, she replies four as answer to any question that starts with "How many", And N acted cleverly by asking the right question!
The second question also was the right one. Chinni's favorite color is "Black" now, it was "Orange" few days back. And the co-incidence, she was wearing a black pant!!!
When N explained me all this while we were returning home, we both laughed and laughed and laughed.
This didn't end the day. We made a small picnic to Sangama, confluence of Arkavati and Cauvery. For the first time Chinni got to play in river and she was enjoying it to the core. I didn't allow her to drench completely, but still she spent a good time. This puts a thought to plan a full day picnic, where she can enjoy the river utmost.
