I know at times in school, it use to happen that we want to laugh, laugh out loud but we can't.
This happens a lot when we are with our kids.
We saw "Javed Jaffery tribute to Micheal jackson", then there was Boogie Woogie special and some contestants were dancing on Kishore Kumar's songs but steps were of Micheal Jackson.
We kept on watching the videos on Youtube, as Manish appreciate Micheal Jackson and I love dancing. Kaju was just nest to us,as always.
He too was watching videos with us. He didn't say anything for half and hour but then he couldn't figure out the solution to his query and asked me:
Kaju: Mamma, why is Uncle holding his Shu-shu, do he want to pee??
(hope every body is able to connect the Micheal Jackson step he is referring too)
My reaction: (I want to roll on floor with laughter, but couldn't)I gave a very manipulative answer, he is holding his thigh joint or something
And my Prince Charming was not convinced but some how God saved and he left the topic.
I also don't know, why MJ use to dance like that, may be Kaju's observation is correct!

Nithron-Better heard then read
Kaju is explaining the word "Nithron" to me. He is using it a lot these days, something these guys are talking about at the Sayre Montessori.
Agar koi samajh sake humein bhi samjhana
To lijiye sahiban......Nithron ki kahani, Kaju ki jabani

Icecream is Cold!
Sometime I really don't have answers!
Few days back, we went to Jordan Creek Mall and Kaju saw a big poster of Icecream and asked to me to get one.
Hot summer weather, I didn't deny it and got a Kids Butterscotch and Chocolate Cone.
He excitedly took 3-4 bites and said to me, "nahi chaiye" in his very own american hindi tone :-)
I but obviously asked "Why?"
Kaju -"Ice cream is cold, I will keep it so it becomes warm and then only I will eat it"
AHHHhhhhh.........anybody ever tasted a warm Ice cream and still eatable????
Water is Wet!
Kaju went for a bath and that day he was not very excited about it and complained to me, "I don't want to have bath, this water is wet" ............lol
You should just see him, when he washes his face or hands and how desperately he is after his Spiderman towel as the WET Water had made him really WET ;)

Ooo Phata.....
Now what is this?
When we came back from our Henry Doorly Zoo,Omaha,Nebraska trip this March, one day Kaju said to me, "Mamma play Ooo Phata", "Mamma sing Ooo Phata"
And I was like OMG, what is Ooo Phata .....lol . Ofcourse he was saying a hindi word in his american hindi. Was very difficult to guess,as we play so many songs, new and old, on online radio, movies, songs in Car.
Where he heard and what he meant, he only knew. Then one day I was taking him in our new blue car and he said, play "Ooo Phata", so it clicked me, he must have heard the song in car, so Ooo phata is one of the songs in CD we played.
I could never have judged his choice......... Ooo Phata is Mohd Rafi's "Bar bar dekho" and in it ,it has "taale hooo" and this "taale hooo" became "Ooo phata" .......lol :)
Here is video of one of Kaju's most favouraite song "Ooo Phata" ;)

From Baby to No Baby
On 16th Feb, I was making kaju go to sleep for his nap time and while playing he kicked my tummy. I told him then, "kaju their is baby in Mamma's tummy, don't kick"
I can never forget his smile, full of excitement and happiness,to know about baby. As my due date was in Oct, we told him, he will get a brother or sister after his b'day.
One day Kaju came and started patting my tummy, I said, what are you up too? He replied,I am playing with baby :)
Also sometimes when he is very excited,he will scream loud,when I was pregnant and he will scream,suddenly he will come and touch my tummy and say "Mamma,did baby got scared". So chweet of Kaju !
Then Manish and myself laid down with Viral, we thought its good kaju goes to full time pre-school day care and that saved him from fever.
On 9th March after Kaju left for school and Manish for office, I went to Doctor and came to know about my miscarriage. I think I can never explain anyone how desperate I was to meet,see and touch Kaju,after loosing my unborn child. I gave him a very tight hug when he came back from school in evening. We didn't say anything to him.
On 11th March when Manish took me to hospital for my surgery, a friend of us,Sameer, picked kaju from school. While they were waiting for the cab, Kaju said to him "Sameer Uncle, baby will come after my b'day".
It was after few days of my surgery when Tara(Sameer's wife) told me about what kaju said.
One day he screamed and said, "Mamma did baby got scared"
I said "No beta, there is no baby"
Manish said to him "Baby went to God"
Kaju replied "Why! I want my baby back" and I didn't had any answers for him.
Few days after that, we were lying on bed ,preparing to sleep in night. Kaju was lying besides me as always and he said it loud "God, please send the baby back in Mamma's tummy, please"
I didn't had anything to do except just hug him very tight.
He got so disturbed looking at me sick for days, no baby, that he never wanted to go to school , he said to me "I cannot go to school, I have to take care of Mamma and Papa at home"
I think this was the most difficult time for Kaju till now. The first toughest time of his life has passed by. I wish he never have to face any more tough and bad time in life.

Not my Papa- Different Papa

I was looking at old pictures and got the following photo of Manish.
Kaju gave it a weird look and said "He is not my Papa, he is some different Papa"
Kaju was born in "Mool", and according to religious belief, a father of baby born in Mool should not shave for 21 days,so current look in picture when Manish didn't shave for first 21 days Kaju was born and even Manish didn't got to have a look of Kaju for that time span.

Trip to Dubuque- to meet Curious George
Its been a long time when I last posted,so ofcourse there are many moments to share. I will begin chronologically.
18th Jan 2009
Every day after coming from early pre-school, Kaju will watch Curious George and finish his dinner in no time. So Curious George was not only his favouraite but mine too (no tussle for dinner :-) )
We got a chance to meet Curious George,which we could not have missed, so we planned the trip. Dubuque is 3hrs from Des Moines, but weather was flurry and we took approx 4hrs to reach there. Drove our car there.
It was fun as expected. With Curious George we saw, fish, Ship museum, played in snow. Had a experience of sailing the ship etc. Kaju hugged Curious George :-)
We stayed there for 2hrs and we drove for 8 hrs......lol , looking at Kaju's smile and the fun he had, the exertion was worth it!
Pictures attached.
