Who is Who

Are these pictures of the same child or are they of twins?

If not, who is who?

Vocab

Last night watching TV, the disneychannel show "Madeline" came on with the title "Winter Vacation".
I asked Cheryl "Do you know what 'Vacation' means?"
And she answered "Going on a trip? School holidays?"

Do I need to teach this five year old more?

Conversations - Cheryl

Last night while trying to spend some quality time,

Cheryl: Daddy, can I ask you a question?
Dad: Yes, you can ask me a question.

Cheryl: Daddy, when I am 7 years old, can I have a poggo stick?
Dad: No, you can have a poggo stick when you're 12 years old.

Cheryl: How about when I am 100 years old?
Dad: When you're 100 years old, you will need a walking stick not a poggo stick.

Cheryl: Why?
Dad: Because you would be so old, you can hardly walk.

Cheryl: Ok, how about when I'm 20 years?
Dad: When you're 20 years old, boys will be running after you. No need poggo stick.

Clashing again. Undecided yet.

Child development - How Fast

How fast do children develop these days?

The other day when Chastan had a fever, when we came home from office, I carried him and asked if he had his medicine. I was surprised he answered "Not yet".

Yesterday on returning home and as was the routine, I carried him. Going into the 2nd room I saw the soft toy which Cheryl insisted on buying saying "its so cute", on the bed. So I said to Chastan "Oh here is the cat". And immediately without batting an eye he replied " No, kitten".

Was I shocked! I could not believe what I just heard so I picked the toy up and asked him what it was and he replied "kitten".

Now, Chastan is 2 years 1 month. Though no longer in diapers, but still ... a baby. And Yes, he knows what a cat is and how it looks like.

Well, could be he just figured that 'Kitten' was the name of the toy. No matter, no one, I believe, will disagree that 'cat' was not a term to refer to the toy.

Well I just had the first dose of my son correcting me. What is to come next?

Rhymes

Cheryl is now facinated with rhymes and she attempts quite well except that the second 'word' though it rhymes may not always be a meaningful word, so long as it rhymes. This is fine.

But last week she went "A E I O U, Bangali love you". Come on she isn't five yet and I'm sure she does not know what 'Bangali" means. Now whats she learning at kindergarten?

Fever

Chastan was running a slight temperature last night. Still managed to catch the 2 goals scored by Italy. Fairer half caught the whole game though.
