Ayo Bobo, Yah

Percakapan di malam hari.

Ravi: Ayah
Aku: Iya
Ravi: Ayo Bobo. Mama dah bobo.
Aku: Iya, bentar.  Ayah masih ada kerjaan.
Ravi: Bu Mimi aja udah bobo.
Aku: (dalam hati) Bu Mimi? Itu kan gurumu tahun lalu?
Ravi: Semua orang sudah bobo.
Aku: (dalam hati) He?  Semua orang?  Kayanya kebalik deh yang ngomong,  Nak.
Ravi: Ayah,  ayo.

*Menggeret diri dengan malas.  Heran,  masih kecil diomelin orangtua, udah tua diomelin anak. Kapan giliran gua ya?

Ini lagu lullaby untuk Ravi, baru ngeh kalau ternyata waktu itu udah bener dia nebak lagu Twinkle Twinkle.

Small Talk

We were relaxing. He was tired after playing a round of educational apps on his iPad,  I was taking an off day.
I was imagining my day tomorrow,  he was flexing.  Maybe he was,  I didn't notice, but I heard him say,
"Is that a new aircon? "
I was caught off guard. " What? "
" Is it new?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
Then he went on and played some more apps.
I was still stunned. Did my boy just made a small talk with me?

Train and Sand Kit Sets

I was getting something when I saw Ravi lining these up. One piece of the train set lost it's magnetic piece so he can't put them together. I tried consoling him by giving an alternative, why not make it a set of two trains? He didn't buy it. Then I saw this. He took out a sand playing kit, a set of 4, and took each piece of the train of the train set to each sand's.
Problem was, the weren't enough space for the set.
So he cried. Hey, he's just a kid.
Dad came to the rescue. Why not this formation, Son? I noticed one of the train piece was missing. I couldn't find Ravi, too.
I couldn't find him. He was busy getting something for the missing train piece. The fourth piece of the train set was getting its load :)

There you are

So, there. Everything is set. I went back to my business.
Then, I saw the pieces moved to his playing table.

Unsatisfied, he moved the sets

Turned out he still want them aligned. It's not straight, but I think that's his consolation.

Sort of straight

Well, whatever, kid. It's your toys. 

Happy 3rd

My baby, my little indira is 3 years old yesterday. It has been a roller coaster ride, one that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
Here's the little man in some of his glories 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Decided that I would relaunched the site again.
