Scaling hillocks

While the fact is that we largely converse in English at home, Anush's vocab still leaves me surprised!

Anush accurately describing her art work of a mountain scene~this is a hillock, some hills and this is a mountain~

Anushka tells her father~ You are not responding appa... I asked you...~

Anushka' school review, last Friday, left me gloating. Not just her growing academic skills but also what they had to say about Anushka the classmate/ the person/ the student as she is in school.

I know I am supposed to be grown up and display equanimity but well... you know me:-)

Anushka's timings are also likely to get extended in a month or so.

We were told we can apply for Aditi when she is six months old!!

And I as always have the reverse problem - I also hear a very glowing review of D and I'm left wondering - 'Really? Or are they just trying to be nice?' I know, me of little faith :)

poppy- dont be so cynical now!!

schools are very rational now a days- they have no reason to sugar coat ... at least the montessori ones do not believe in it here

dipali- also "impossible" and so on
