The first steps

Yesterday was my nephew's first day at play school. Actually the first day was three days earlier. But the lil guy slept off 5 mins into class (sounds familiar ?!).
My sister tells me its his stress control mechanism. He goes to sleep when the environment seems unfamiliar/hostile and wakes up later, maybe the bad dream will go away.

Yesterday he tried running out back with my sis. Apparently this guy refuses to give in with out a fight. Thankfully he is past his "doubts and distrust" period. He likes the teacher and calls her Jo or Jani as it pleases him. He is friendly with the other kids (roughly his age). My nephew is 2 years and a few months. He is learning new things. All's well.

Almost everybody in the family went through a period of anxiety. Especially my sister.

I don't think I could ever handle all this.
I am also learning. Next time when my inability to manage finances, my marriage or other extreme cases are discussed I will sleep it through.

Today as I was channel surfing, on Asianet I came across this little boy who sang this song (for Munch Star Singer Junior 2009)
He sang well, not perfect (according to the judges). His attempt was nevertheless appreciated. But I enjoyed the way he sang. He pronounced wrongly, his missed the that and this...(Somewhat like how I would sing, only that this kid was a thousand times better). He sang about emotions his age wouldn't know yet. And he seemed at ease, singing because he enjoyed it

There were flaws,
I think flaws are fine.
Flaws make people.
Flaws keep it honest.

I don't know who said this >
I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all.

I agree completely.

Thanks to that talented kid, I found this jewel of a song! Thank you kid, whose name I could not catch. Good luck for your stuff.
