Kav and school

Lots of activities at school this week. Rajesh was invited to attend a Father's Day activity session with Kav. Mom's were strictly not allowed :( He bonded with Kav doing rhymes, exercises and some painting as well. Kav, along with one other boy, was the most hyper-active and constantly had to be cajoled or threatened to get something done (right). But it was all fun for daddy and a proud day as well, since Kav completed the assigned painting activity real well.

The next day, at the parents teachers meet, we were met with a report card, that was updated every month!! It ran over 5 pages, with skills categorized as Cognitive, Communication, Activity, bsic concepts etc. Phew! Basically, he was doing very well in the activities and sports area, and well in the purely academic section. The teacher said he was never still to provide any answers, and always wanted to run after the toys or other kids. As expected :)

But I have to admit that it was a special day to see my kid's first report card, and right away, I realised that the grades are never an indication of what he knows or dosen't know. For eg, he was graded low in recognizing shapes and colors, although he is brilliant at it at home, when he is in the mood. And he got a 'very good' at putting on his own shoes, although he has never once done that at home!!

Close to completing my 7th month

The past couple of months have flown past; and have been thankfully, trouble-free except for the niggle in my hip and back. I had my 7th month checkup last week; and weighed in at 76 kgs (+2 since last month). And most of all, my glucose tolerance test came up good and hence I can gorge on more sweets now :) Baby kicks and movements are fine. Although my doc seems to be getting kick out of making me paranoid by saying that I have entered my painful phase now. Indigestion and more aches and pains will be the norm by the end of month!! Or so she says.

Kav has been so great at school. He is enjoying his van trips, but is still tight-lipped about what actually happens at school! He continues to talk non-stop, and has started to talk in English as well. Just random sentences, here and there; but it's so cute. And he has become such a brat at teasing people by repeating what they say in a mocking tone!

My valagaapu is being organized along with my dad's 60th bday on the 24th of August. Planning to just invite some close friends over.
