Bablu's First Day At School

Bablu started play school today! We took him to the EuroKids at Ameerpet at 9.00 am. Mamli had already left for her school at 8.15. Gunu, Bablu & I drove to EuroKids. Bablu was excited at times and rather apprehensive the rest of the time :-)

Anyway, he was fine initially. The classroom was full of kids, mostly crying for mommy. Bablu looked as if he would love nothing better than to burst into tears himself but held out as best as he could. Gunu went in with him while I stayed outside chatting with other parents. Gunu came out after a little while and I got a peek of Bablu sitting on the floor playing with a set of building blocks or something like that. I left shortly after that.

Gunu called up about 11.30 to say that she had dropped off Bablu at home and arrived at work. It seems the boy burst into tears a little while after Gunu left the class room and kept pointing towards the door. The poor chappie can only manage a few words in Oriya and has no Telugu, Hindi or English. Anyway, he quitened down in a little while and played a bit. Gunu and Bablu left the school at about 10.15 or so and returned home in an auto-rickshaw. Bablu threw a tantrum the minute he reached home, shouting "Daddy Gua, Mummy Gua...". "Gua" in Bablu-speak means gone/go/went away. His tantrum was about us leaving him alone with a bunch of strangers and going away. In typical Bablu fashion he kept quite till he got home and then started throwing things around :-)

Lets see what tomorrow brings!
