Today, me and V remembered sadly that Ash was to have started his new big school today. 8.30 am to 10.30 am in the first few days, 8.30 to 11.30 am for the next few days and then 8.30 to 12.30 eventually.
Instead V went to meet the principal with a letter asking for one month's leave. She was very kind, and asked him to meet his class teacher in LKG - C batch. Right now I dont know how many batches they have. To our relief, it is a lady who comes to our church. We hope she will treat him kindly when he joins.
His ScooBee Day school bag and bright orange St. Johns kuda awaits him. He is impatient to start school since fil's tenants' kids (there are 3 school-going kids, who entertain, teach and play with Ash in the evenings) are away in school a good part of the day. He also has a teacher in Beena Aunty, the tenant upstairs who teaches French at a local school. She adores him as she has only two daughters and Ash is her favorite among fil's grandchildren. Unlike Mira, Ash keeps a distance from neighbours and doesnt enter their houses unnecessarily.
He also has a ravenous appetite now, which mil caters to very well. He is more organised too, waking up at 7 am and going to bed at 10 am with an afternoon nap to boot. We had never instilled much discipline in him with our irregular hours at work. We try not to speak to him when we call, since it upsets him and bothers him at bedtime. We instead get all the information from him grandparents, who are just about beginning to get some sleep in the night. Meaning, Ash is itching less and sleeping more during night.
"Please take me back to Madras when my itching is cured, " he entreats them and us.
