Fish

Today Akash has bad cough so gave him ginger honey and rubbing his chest to comfort him...he says Amma story....A smile on my face...hmmm thinking...suddenly boats came to my mind...i started,,,
 Their was a boat and lot of fisher man ...
Akash : Ma if lot of fisherman than lot of boats should be their not just one boat..is it a ship? lot of fisherman will fit in a ship.
Me: hahaha yes Logic noted...lots of boats and lot of fisherman but am talking about one boat and a fisherman...He would go fishing and catch lot of fishes ....one day as usual when he spread the net to catch fish and pulled the net up , he found no fish and wondered why so....he again threw the net, the moment he felt net got a bit heavy , he pulled it up but saw no fish in it...after trying and trying he gets tired and rows back home .sits under a tree shade wiping his face , meanwhile his son comes back home from play and looks at his father and says "Appa (daddy) you seem to be upset what happened "? Father expresses" sorry dear i could not catch any fish and so will not be going to market nor sell or buy something for you as i promised". Appa its ok lets see why net could not catch the fish . both of them start looking at the net from edge to edge and child says Appa see here theirs a hole in it , Appa i think a big fish bit our net ...hmmm father says may be and may be not, it might have got rubbed to a rock while i pulled it hard ...Child says Appa when i was on way back home i saw a cycle shop keeper trying to fix a hole in the tube, he dipped the tube in water and air bubbles came out and he quickly marked it to fix . Why did you not see the bubbles when net got hole? Father smiles and says tell me dear why so... child thinks for awhile looking at the net and says may be because this is big and that was a small hole ..and may be coz air bubbles come in water as its just a small hole but here in net everywhere their are tiny holes and no air ...
Akash interrupts and says ...if their is air in water than we all can talk under water too so air in the tube not in the water ...b4 i said yes he says ok ma continue...

Father says now we got to fix it and starts searching for the tools. child asks Appa are you going to put gum to it or tie it ? father while picking up tools says am going to stitch it , child says ya amma says stitch in time saves nine else my shirt would have got torn more and more . yes says father while he fixed the net back for fishing. next day he goes for fishing and while child waits on shore to see if Appa is coming with basket full of fishes and yessss their he is with basket of fishes and sells them in market and gets yummy cookies . child runs to appa and hugs him for getting him cookies , his father hugs him and makes him sit on lap while child is eating cookies and says thank you so much for helping appa fix the net without crying for cookies yesterday . child says amma said we are family and we care for each other but appa is it ok if i cry sometimes as am not the same always you see, atimes when i dont get what i want i feel like crying than am i bad ? Father takes him close and says no dear you don't become bad and we are with you even in your cry and its ok as we are family...both exchange a warm smile ....amma calls out for dinner but child is full with cookies and wants to sleep ...the sun sets and waves are slowly hitting the shore ...it so calm and beautiful....child goes into appa arms and off to sleep ...Appa carries him home and puts him to bed giving goodnight kiss on his forehead....breeze coming in through the window and he sleeps sound....

Slowly Akash slips to sleep imagining beach waves and breeze.....what a pleasant feeling...so peaceful so calm...gn

Hide n Seek

Ystrday I created a story n it turned to acknowledging emotions...bedtime small story .....With lot of voice expression n body language involved
A squirrel was enjoying going up n down the neem tree....n hvng the neem fruit which turn yellow from green....While eating squirrel peeped out from branches down..on.hearing sm laughs n giggling
Squirrel was amazed to see sm children playing together. ..seven stones hide n seek etc n was jumping when they jumped n found it very exciting
It got dark n kids went home n squirrel on the branch was alone...it strikes to him that he was alone n had no one to play....He became sad.
But even when he was sad he was thinking as brain works in every emotion ...in sad happy angry etc
N he discovered that he should do smthing about it so next mrng went to every tree n invited squirrels to play
Sm squirrels said oh if we play on your tree than what about all other trees n places
As squirrel observed that kids wld play everywhere n go home by nite ....
He quickly clarified thr doubt that we can tk turns n play on every tree n place n b4 dark go back . It convinced squirrel mom's n squirrel babies too...that b4 dark they reach home
All got along n started playing ....so thr were giggles n laughs on tree n under the tree
Akash eyes were glittering in joy n he was clapping....
Now b4 his energy raises to play mode I quickly said now it's gtng dark
So all went to thr homes ...n quietly slipped to thr sleep as thr mom's sang for them....
I started singing n akash slept off....
Mrng akash says even in sadness we can mk wise decisions like squirrel did...😀

Gravity

Almost everyday i tell story n he says no reading from book as he reads himself every nite n says ma tell your own creative story...
.i dont know what how the story would be until i start....i just close eyes few seconds silence n start off....

Beautiful colorful parrots flying high in sky....They saw mountains ...clouds ...enjoying the breeze....little parrot says am hungry can we go down. ..mommy parrot says we are above water let's fly till we reach land....Their we go...They land on trees...little parrot flys to coconut tree n tries to nibble it with beak. ..oouchhh it hurts it's too hard ...then He flys to guava n starts gobbling them...yummy ...along with mommy ...A guava slips n falls down...little parent looks at it amazed n calls aloud mommy mommy see guava is falling down ...why is he falling down....mommy says ya darling it's falling down. ..can u guess why....
Akash quickly says coz guava has no wings ...n it's heavier than air n also coz of gravity...
I smile n continue...
You know what little parrot thinks coz guava is heavier than him n may be coz guava has seeds inside ....n than starts crying oh no I ate guava n it's in my stomach so am going to fall too...oh I cnt fly like guava....mommy says oh baby your so scared....( we hear a sneeze hhachiii. ..akash says in half sleep did daddy parrot sneeze ...I said no your dad sneezed 😂☺we giggle)....
So mommy parent says it's ok to be scared....n cuddles him under his wings...
Akash takes my hand n cuddles under my arm...hhmmm....
Little parrot says ya mommy am scared ...
So when do you want to fly asks mommy...
I don't know when will this guava digest in my stomach...may be tmrw...mommy says it's ok let's sleep...next day mrng they have berries for breakfast n fly into sky...While flying mommy says so berries are mkng u fly ha....little parrot says no my wings make me fly ...mommy asks are you sure😉...little parrot blushes n says berries dint fall down...mommy asks did you drop one....
No mommy ..its nite again n they reach thr nest ...little parrot says I guess it was my fear that I need to drop...I can fly with guava n berries in my stomach as I have my wings...😀...mommy says yes my dear slp now...humming a song..hmmm lala lala. ...
Akash slipped to sleep while I was humming....
