Yes, Achu is Thin. So what?

Not that I haven't been worried before but now I am totally worried and that's why I am blogging about it...

Achu eats normal.....

• Breakfast - dosa / pongal / puri /egg and a glass of milk(pediasure) / lately milk with tea in it
• Mid day snack - @school: samosa/sandwich/biscuits @home banana/puffed rice/popcorn 
• Back from school @12.20 pm - a glass of milk( rose/chocolate/pediasure)
• Lunch - A considerable quantity of rice with dal/rasam , veggies and fish/chicken
• Evening - He used to wake up after his nap at 5.30pm and have a glass of milk..but nowadays.not very interested in having anything to drink
• A few hours before dinner - sometime needs noodles or has a bite with Amma and Acha who are absolute snackers
• Dinner - Considerable amount of rice again with rasam/dal and fish /chicken /veggie/egg
• Before bed- If it gets too late he likes to have a glass of pediasure/milk

Used to give him juice but because he has a permanent cold we stopped that. He's got a sweet tooth and he often likes to sink his milk teeth into

• Mysore pak
• Jelebi
• Poli
• MilkyBar
• Diamond sweet ( Kaju Kaatli)
• Bourbon
• Nice Biscuits
  

He is an active child. Its tuff to get him stay still for 1/2 a second.Verrryyy tuff. Unless HE wants to pose for a photo.

BUT.......

• He weighs barely 15.2 kgs @ 4 .5 yrs
• And he looks his weight
  
• Doesn't need an x-ray since he is one already!
• Clothes I bought 3yrs ago still fit him
• Oh what do u mean he is growing tall....he is jus 109cms tall
• Every social meet makes me creative in answering "Why Achu boy is thin"

DOC says "It's ok. he's active" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

When Achu was a baby he wasn't one of those the chubby lallus we find all over place. It stressed me out when ppl around me pointed it out and gave loads of advice on how to make a lallu outta achu. But then I learnt the art of nodding with a smile. Honestly it did decrease the intensity of the lessons I got...atleast from my point of view.The minute I start nodding my ears would loose stimuli :).

He was thin but not unhealthily thin...he didn't look unhealthy in anyway.Now he does. That's what worries me.

Maybe few years down the line I might laugh at this blog. That's the optimist in me typing.
Or maybe I will just be copy - pasting from this blog - That's the pessimist!
Whatever be...God Bless my Achu.....

Smile and I shall read

I knew by the look on Achu's face that he didn't want me to go to Delhi. When I was ready and gave him a hug his face didn't have that smile ...that smile of excitement...that smile that said "Amma I'll be fine with Ammumma and Appuppa "....His face had " I'll miss you" all over it...Knowing his face was mirroring his heart he washed the expression off in moments and told me "Amma marakhadhey train vayinchitu vareneeee.........."(Don't forget to buy me a train)...I nodded and left half heartedly....

We had to go to Delhi this week on an official assigment but the fog in Delhi got worse and our flight got cancelled :):)..When we got back home achu was asleep....I kissed him and gave him a hug:)

The next morning Achu gave me the smile I wanted....The Real Smile ...of joy...of contentment....and I reciprocated right from my heart ....
Achu: Amma yendh patti?...( what happened?)
Me: Bad weather so the plane didn't take off
Achu: Bigggg Smile and a huggy-buggy moment ...sighhhhh

Later during the day we were to go to M's place and so was getting dressed
Achu: evadhey ponnu amma ( where are u going?)
Me: Arinjudhe? ( don't you know?)
Achu : Najannum varinaaa ( Am I also coming?) - his face lost its initial smile beacuse he had my Delhi trip still in his tiny mind and heart and thought I was getting dressed to go to Delhi.
Me: Monnu we are going to Achacha's house get dressed now ...fassst
Achu: There was that smile I always crave for...yet again

Achu...Amma loves you so much and can read your mind and heart with equal precision
Just smile and I shall read......... 

The Digestive Theory

One night during the routine 'su-su' session:

We have a mixie inside
When we eat the food goes into the mixie and goes round and round and then we have 'motion'
When we drink water there is a yellow mug inside that pours the water into the mixie and we have 'yellow su-su'
When we drink lotsa water there is another mug which pours water into the mixie and we have 'white su-su'

And a wee bitta maths in science to make things more interesting

Su-su is equal to one
Motion is equal to five...no not the usual two

Hear all ye docs...this is Achu's Digestive Theory

Update : When Achu had a tummy ache

As we grow taller the mugs we have increase in number....So Amma has more mugs than Achu ...Each mug has one color.... Now all the colors are in the mixie that's why Achu's having a tummy ache
