School hunt

A lean day at work. So making up for the past few days' silence.
We are on the look out for a temporary good playschool for Ash, where he will have enough montessori-model activities to burn his energy. On the doctor's suggestion, we had come across a school called Saraswati Vidyalaya in Choolaimedu which has an interactive, airconditioned, disciplined playschool. V met the lady-in-charge of the nursery section, one Ms. Padma, who told me today that Ash can be admitted on a trial basis for a week. If he adjusts well and is happy there he can continue till the school closes for summer vacation in mid-April. They are not too keen on a temporary admission but we have already paid the school fee and donation at UCA. Whatever, we have to pay Rs.5000-odd as admission and term fees. The school timing is from 8.30 to 12 noon for KG. They also have a daycare which functions till 6.30 pm. That is an option we could think of when our maid woes get unmanageable.
Vinod went to Ash's old school to convey that he wont be coming any more - just told them that he is going off to Kerala for a while. They were a bit sad to hear it. The teacher said he had been a good boy, who grasped fast and did well. She showed his classwork and art work and stuff. His books have been returned.

On the eczema front, Ash's itching seems to be worse of late - dunno if it any food allergy or the change in medication - Zensoft, Flutibact and Cetaphil in place of HHsone and Atogla. Might have to meet Dr. Patrick again. To our consolation he had observed that eczemic kids are smaller and fail to thrive until they get the better of their affliction. Which made V wonder if the doctor himself, a small wiry man with dry skin, is eczemic.
