A Class monitor in the making

We as parents have always felt proud whenever we have visited her school during Parent-Teacher meets. Every meet we get to hear that she is an all-rounder.

Last year in Nursery class, her teachers used to ask us to teach her to use the word "Sorry"....the most difficult word for anyone to say...who accepts mistakes afterall ;-) But after many stories and counselling, she started to use the golden words...Thank you, Sorry, Please, Welcome. And by end of the year, on her last day of School, she was given an award for best student in Academics. I would thank her teachers Gayatri & Veena madam's for the good behaviour & English they taught to my child. Gayatri took special care for the children to teach them good English, good habits & cleanliness. Veena on the other hand took care of getting the creative part of the child out, by teaching them drawing & craft. Both patient, yet strict when required.

This year again she has Sugandhi & Archana madam as her class teacher. She has been rated the All-rounder in her class and is the first one to lift her hand when asked questions in the class or volunteer for any activity. Every day Ahana has newer ways to impress them and manages a star from them everyday.

Yesterday Ahana was proudly showing off the star that her teacher had given her on her hand.
On being asked, why she was given one, she said, she had helped her teacher in collecting all the papers that been distributed in the class and given it to another teacher in another class. Her class teacher had then thanked her and given her a Star on the back of her palm.

Our days of schooling, any child who is an all-rounder would be the class monitor/ mentor. I never was one :-), may be she will be.

Scanfusion

My mother-in-law was taking a look at my scan reports and trying to make head & tail of the scan pictures. And there I was explaining to her each of the pictures. One of them had only the baby's face in it. A nice sculpted face. Ahana came over excitedly to watch the picture. She could not understand why it was all black & white and neither could she make out the face of the baby.
I started to draw it on a piece of paper, and showed the side profile of the baby's face.
I realised she wasnt happy. For sometime she kept quiet, and then she asked me to draw the eyes. I did it for her. Then again, she said complete the head...make it round :-). I did that. And before she could say anything, I drew some hair on the baby's head.
She asked me why the baby had so little hair, so I said it was still small.
Then she asked, if it was boy or a girl, I said I dont know.
So she said, its my small brother or sister.

Butter Baby

Ahana & her dad were having a verbal fight. I jumped in too, and asked her. Are you mamma's girl or dadda's? And with a naughty look she answered, "Mamma's girl".
Dadda said: I am anggrry, am not going to talk to you
Baby said: appaji, I will give you kiss.
Dadda: I dont want it, I am still angry
Baby: Dont worry Appaji, I will give you nice hug, to just make you happy :-) and she jumped up to him to give him a nice warm hug.
