My son got a hall ticket, for KG-1 exams. I think, I am going to get that framed!
His first exam was English reading, on August 16th. Well, he prepared for it by seeing 'Bambi' on his DVD player. Having watched it a number of times, he knows it pretty well. I am happy he does not get involved and comments rather un-sympathetically at the running pair of mother and baby , "What is this...mother..Bambi..MOTHER..BAMBI. Just ruNN".
I am happy because, while I read him the book, he was upset the mother was not at the place she should be.(Pointing to a place near Bambi). He wanted to know what happened and I went into, how some people killed her, guns and a lot of how-to-explain-this stuff. Then he turned to me and said rather solemnly "You don't get killed, OK?" and then I said 'Hey, you are not Bambi' and diffused the situation.Phew!
I have no idea how his exams went yesterday. My enquiries resulted in a non-committal 'Yeah, it was fine'. I do not want to push him and make the exams a serious event. But there seems to have been some talk of revision among his classmates. So he wanted to do 'Yivision' and I was very happy and promised to guide him after the afternoon nap. So while he slept, I took his slate and drew some pictures and made boxes, where he could write the corresponding alphabet. ( Like Picture of apple - a box for him to write Aa). When he got up I told him, this was his revision. He finished it in 5 minutes and showed it to me. I was super happy, for he had done them all correctly. We hi-fived, I hugged him and told him we had finished revision!. Ha HA! He cleaned the slate, and said 'some more'. So that is how I spent last evening. Drawing and giving exams on a slate. By the time my husband came home I was upto my neck drawing elphants, cats, dogs (that sonny boy identified as donkey, of course what matters is 'Dd'), bats (cricket bat identified as Bottle), bat(flying bats identifyied as butterfly)...
We have exams till 30th August. I am more scared of revision now than when I was studying at school. All the best to us!

Hello Vidhur - thank you kindly for your comments on my blog along with your good wishes for my pregnancy. I really appreciate your kindness and concern. Just wanted to let you know that I am not practicing Ashtanga as is it expressed by my guruji Sri K Patabi Jois that women who have had a miscarriage not practice in the first trimester. Since you seem quite knowledgeable about the subject, perhaps I may ask if you I am allowed to practice to a prenatal yoga DVD or just wait it out until after the first trimester and resume my practice? Many thanks. As you can imagine, most Western doctors have only a rudimentary understanding of yoga practice that they think any yoga is good. I would love to do some form of practice but am not so sure given my unfortunate history with miscarriage.
Hi vidhur,
