It was already 7 AM I was asking Joe to getup. But there was no reply.I went and saw him in the bedroom and was shocked he was already awake.
I asked him, why you did not respond or did not get up when I called?
He said , but still daddy is sleeping right that is why ...Ahaaa..
Morning just 10 minutes left to go for bus, Suddenly he started mummy I want masala maggi in Lunch box. I told him already it is prepared tomorrow I will give you that snack. You please adjust and go.
Evening I saw him there were some leftovers..I asked him " why did you bring it back?" Since you didn't keep masala maagi that is why !!. Time to change myself to accept these answers !
Father : Joshu ! What will you become when you grow old ?
Joshu : Daddy!! I will become daddy ....and ( thought for a while ) you will become Uncle and mummy will become aunty )

Getting Ready to School!!
I am a working women, Morning I need to prepare food as well as I need to make my son get ready to school...
Ofcourse my husband was helping me before but reently as he shifted his job he is not in a position to help me.
The plan starts from Sunday onwards for me! Sunday morning I prepare idly batter for the whole week and I immediaetly keep it in fridge. I always take the required amount before day .
I kept two servants one for normal work( vessel cleaning , moping, washing clothes and folding) and one for cutting vegetables .
The woman who comes for cutting vegetables comes everyday evening after I am back from office , cuts the required vegetables, onion . and keep in a container and stack in the fridge and leave.
I get up most of the time by 6 or 6.15 not before or after that . It is always better to keep 4 burner stove. I keep rice and idly in the backside 2 burner. Vegetables I start in the front ones. I normally prepare 2 vegetable one always I make sure to have leafy vegetable and other vegetable. I do not go for deep fry or time consuming most of the time.
I will make sure it is done in 15 min not more than that...and in between when the stove is free I boil milk and prepare tea also. By 6.45 I somehow manage to complete the entire cooking. I also prepare sambar or chutney. From 6.45 till 7 Am I will try to wake my son. In between i start packing food too. Since he is only 4 years it is not very easy for me or him to get up as soon as I call him. I give required time to get up.
Somehow by 7 or 7.10 he gets up , by the time i am done with all kitchen work. From that time till 8 I will be with him to make him get ready. I will make him to do toilet and brushing till 7.30. Sometime he does fast or sometime he takes time. I will not force him. Somehow by 7.40 I would have done bathing for him.
I make him sit in the chair by that time. That time he normally in good mood. When I give bath I talk him about the school and his friends or some story or something new I tell him. It is never on urgent basis. We can definitely make them in a happy way. If we show tension they will not be happy and without interest they might go to school.
In 20 minutes I feed also I make him to wear his dress and all keep his bag ready.
I am giving ample of time to have food here. Sometimes it will be 30 minutes. He used to talk a lot that time...sometime that is the time pink panther comes in pogo he watches..But many times we talk a lot .
I feel if we give them wiht patience the morning time never be an issue and previous day also we need to make them sleep atleast by 10.PM. All are saying by 8.30 we should make them sleep. But it was never possible for me as we both are working I pick him and I give dinner and milk. It becomes 10Pm for me. Also my husband comes late from work he waits for his dad.
Here I do not give him milk in the morning since my son is not at all interested in drinking milk in morning time. I could able to manage in the night and evening daycare he takes.
when i was trying to give milk in the morning time it was a battle between both of us. But I could able to give the milk during holidays. Even my husband was suggesting me that we can
I have left because he and me are not in good mood due to milk.
Also I always gets suggestion for him about packing food for lunch or snacks. If he is not ok with the food I immediatly asks /tells him that sorry I could not make def tomorrow I will give what you want. Manydays he accepts.

வெள்ளிகிழமை மாலை!!!
That day Father and Son was having holiday ...Was enjoying at home...
They came to my office to pick me in the evening...
That time he asked do we have any special dishes in the night or the same one !!
I said we must have some remaining food ...let us finish the same.
He was disappointed and asked No special for friday too !!
Ok ...that time we saw chicken shop...ok I said I will prepare some good item..Please get leg piece from chicken shop...
He got and the photo tells the preparation !!
By the time I finished my cooking Joe slept :(
தம்பியின் குறிக்கோள்!
We were travelling by car to some place. I was little upset that time.. I was sitting at the back seat.
His father while driving he noticed that Joe was just sitting and thinking (!!!???)
He used his brain(at times it is used) and asked Joe, what is your aim in future ( he asked in Tamil , thambi nee periyavanana enna pannuve)
He expected a big answer I think !
Our Joe responded,
Daddy I will drink milk in glass !!
I laughed for long time. I don't think my husband will ask this question to him for atleast some months...we both can escape this kind of ambition questions from him.
Thanks to my dear Joe!!
