Some days are just happy days. Today seems to be one such. The kids woke up on their own a good half hour before I even start waking them. They then decided they wanted to get dressed ‘all on their own’ and they did. Some half an hour before time they were dressed and ready. N sat reading a book while H took to the juicer and made some Mosambi juice with ABBA’s “I have a dream’ for the background score. Bliss! Contrast this with a regular day when we go down to catch the bus with N’s cheeks bulging with breakfast and H running back home to get his skating kit.

Moral: Early to bed and early to rise starts your day with a happy surprise 
(See that? Even the rhymes are happy today).

While on music — H has opted for it at school and comes back humming each day. Last week it was ‘Give me oil in my lamp’. This week it is ‘I have a dream’. Brings back happy memories of my school days.

In other news…
We got our TATA Sky upgraded and H wanted the empty carton to play with. Trying to put him off I told him,  ‘Papa wants to see the box before you can play with it so wait till he comes from office’. Pat came the reply, ‘Why don’t you click a picture and send it to him on his phone, and he can tell me if I may have the box?’ Seriously the kids are getting too tech savvy for comfort.

Moral: Trying to put off kids with excuses works no longer. A simple ‘No’ is best.

And some more news..
H had been pestering us for a Playstation. Not a great fan of gadgets, we put forth a seemingly impossible task. H had to get a perfect score in ten consecutive tests and we’d get it for him. Yeah, you guessed it, he went ahead and did just that and now we’re in a bind.

Moral: Never underestimate the power of a play station.

I’m off to the gym for my daily dose of endorphins! Have a great day everyone.
