Kav completes 2 weeks at pre-school

I think the day I wrote the last post, was the day we went scouting for a good pre-school in our area.Fortunately, the very 2nd school that we visited, Euro Kids, was to our liking. It was neat, spacious with tons of toys, teachers and activities. And all I had to do was fill in the admission form, and was all done. We took the evening to ponder over, and started Kav the next day.


Kav has been loving it there! There are more disciplined than his former school, with a bit more structure. They do many fun stuff almost everyday, and are great at keeping the parents in the loop, which was a major gripe for me before. They even have a yahoo group for parents and teachers to interact with each other. Kav gets star tattoos on his hand, on the days that he is a good boy!! So far he has gotten 2!!!


Kav still does not give a full account of what happens in the classroom. In the sense, he tells a few things, but still does not know the teachers or his mates names. Not sure how much he is comfortable with the English communication that goes on. Rajesh and I have gotten so used to talking to him in Tamil, that it feels conversing with him in any other language :).

24 weeks old younger sibling

The 5th month scan confirmed that Kav's younger sibling is now 24 weeks old, and weighing about 740 gms. Kav has been saying that he wants a sister, but I doubt that wish will come true!

Kav's pre-school is ready to commence tomorrow, but I am not sure if I want him to continue in the same playschool. I feel like a terrible mom for not having scouted for pre-schools and deciding by now. But then, pre-schools were not mandatory when I was studying; when did it change where parents feel pressurised to put the kid in a good pre-school itself?? Jeez, I am not ready for this crazy filled aspect of parenting! I want Kav to go to a school that is safe, big, where there is lots of scope for extra-curricular activities, where grades are not the be-all and end-all, and teachers are nice and understanding. And of course, where parents are not expected to take over the role of a teacher as well! So yes, I probably I will never find one!! :)

For now, Kav can continue in Apple Kids. No complaint against it; except that their pick up service is unreliable and they are farther away now that we have moved to our new home. I am checking out a school that is nearby tomorrow; will see how that pans out.

My little baby has started to kick strongly the past 2 days. Even during the scan, it was one hyper baby that was turning around, kicking around, holding its legs with its hands, and basically being a real cutie pie! And yes, the profile shot of the baby proves that it is going to be absolute replica of dad! Again!!
