Getting Sidharth ready for school has become less of a chore for mom after they advanced the show-timing of
Caillou. The PBS Kids telecast of this half-hour serial starts at 7 a m nowdays, leaving parents of Caillou addicts reasonably ample time to get the children ready for school.
Sidharth/Nikhil wake up to Caillou, which, till early September, used to be telecast 7.30 to 8.00. The only thing you can persude Sidharth to do during the telecast is make him drink his milk in bed. His mom had less than half-hour to get Sidharth to brush his teeth, breakfast and to get him dressed for school, starting 9 a m.
It is a 20-minute drive to the school. And his mom (and occasionally Sidharth's daddy drops him) couldn't make it there by 9 a m, without driving Sidharth, a fast-forward mode, on school days. And he goes to pre-school thrice a week, for three hours and a half. There would be no scope for flexibible timings, to suit parents, when Sidharth starts going to regular school next year.
The Child Day School, set on a hillside, provides a setting that reminds me of a location shot in
The Sound of Music.
But then Sidharth isn't on a school-going mood every morning.
A Long weekend between school days,and visiting grandparents, may have been the factors weighing on Sidharth's mind on this morning, as he is led into the school by his daddy.
