Today each one of them selected their choice of shop counters for selling things. One child became the socks seller. When she got an interested buyer, she said we have three sizes-small, medium and large . She saw the size of the child and immediately selected the small size socks and said this will match for you-You can choose this. This did not dampen the spirits of the buyer. He still insisted on the medium size socks and the seller said it costs eleven rupees even for the small size but sold it to him. At another counter where there was rubberbands being sold, the seller shouted at the customer, you can't take so much--Only three is allowed.  At yet another counter, the seller sold the wool to the customer and started giving away his tokens to the buyer. The scenes at our market place were quite funny and memorable

Yesterday while asking which module it is Aarohi cubs responded Normal Maths. I looked with a question mark on my face and they went to clarify and show me what is normal maths. Sharing with all what is normal maths- simple maths which we do in a normal square grid books and different maths is colourful and sometimes boring( math magic book) so simple.

Today as I entered GenieKids I saw a cockroach lying on the floor. I decided to use this for welcome - see the cockroach with Magnifying glass.

Initially the cockroach was lying upside down - kids

1. I can cross the cockroach
2. I am not afraid
3. I am brave

Suddenly cockroach decided to turn around and ran - ALL the kids ran in different direction. Some were on chairs, some jumping on the floor.
And finally when Girija aunty came - there was a sigh......Aunty .................

  Initially we were wondering whether expresso tables turned out to be too heavy for the kids. But the apprehensions are gone now. Today two children in the class tied up the loose plastic edges of the tables like a boogie train and when the class got over figured out how to untie the knot themselves. Another child called his friend and they together shouted bajji bajji  by placing the expresso table on their head and carrying it to its stand . Some children showed their hand saying they want bajji. Pat came replay you pay me hundred million rupees and we were sitting amused at such a humungous figure for a bajji and said we can afford only 2 rupees. But the child was firm that it costs so much.

During discussion of poem and story one genie said Poem is something when we talk normal. Story is when we are upset and we go on and on.

With full enthusiasim and fun we made our vegetable holi colours. while making codes each one said where and all we can pour water with most of them not wanting to pour on their head and face. We enjoyed playing holi with colourful water and found that we our body and dress is still colourless. We ate yummy gajar halwa and hot milk.

Few days back Drupad came me and told me "I get bad dreams and do not like it"

After sometime, he said

"Whenever I get bad dreams - I change my channel to Hadippa"

Ratnesh asked "how you do that"

He said " see, when I watch TV and I do not like one channel, I change to another channel.

Like that when I do not like bad dreams, I change my channel to Hadippa"

We both were pleasantly surprised and told him " we too will try changing channel"

Ratnesh was wondering "does he read NLP ???"

I had three hours session on "Frames of mind today with TTT and this child "naturally" changing his frame of mind (atleast he has the tools". :)))

Today while coming back home Dhrupda expressed to go for swim. I had to pack for my trip on Saturday - so he asked Ratnesh.

Ratnesh said "you hardly go inside the pool - just run around the pool - let us not go today".

He asked "papa are you me?"

Ratnesh had no words - both went to the pool and spent one good hour :)

Dhrupad thinks whatever he learns he need to teach me (in his own way).

Today he told me "mummy say BEN Ten" - Then he told how the BEN TEN has /b/ sound. And at the end he said "see I told you - this has /b/ sound which has letter "b".

He will learn things and TWIST in his own way and will TEACH me (his duty)

Today Dhrupad removed one cupboard with screw driver in the Kitchen and he announced quickly - "no need of carpenter now".

There was a GLOW on his face when he showed me the screw driver and the process how he did :)
