It's exam time folks and my little one is elated as exam
times are fun times in our house, I mean it literally. We believe in studying
regularly and stay relaxed when needed to write the papers. Keeping the stress
levels low and only a quick revision prevents over-burdening my tiny peanut's
brain and not suppressing his mental ability. I prefer to let it rest a day
before the exam so that he goes out as fresh as a daisy and applies the
concepts in the exam paper to the best of his ability.
As a mommy I rather integrate more fun during these times to
let his creative juices ooze out in a way that can be academically beneficial
for him too plus makes his heart go ooh la la in excitement and happiness over
his little sense of achievement. And guess that this time what came to my
rescue? A couple of days before the social science exam, I lay my hands on the
magical space adventure packs of #ColgateMagicalStories and I knew I have
landed on my golden Talisman all over again. You know how every mommy always
keeps some of her favourite cards in her pocket always to surprise her little
bundle of wisdom. Last two years, he have already weaved many intriguing
Colgate Magical Stories on the Magical Castle and the Sea World and there is
nothing with makes his eyes shine is anticipation as much as to witness these
new packs with altogether a new tale waiting to be brought to the world by
mom's adorable story teller.
I was so right. On our way back from his bus stop, I told
him there is a small surprise waiting for him on the table. This charged him
immediately after a energy draining two and a half hours long English exam and
he spread his priceless grin, that mom in me loves the most. In excitement, he
covered the 10 mins long walk in I guess a little over 5-6 minutes and off he
ran to his room only to be happiest little man on this earth.
"Woohoo, thank you, mom!
What will the characters be like this time?
Aah, I love Space Adventures.
I am a big boy now (will turn 8 soon), I will do it all by
myself", his ecstatic pleasure just oozed out in words seamlessly as he
thoroughly examined the pack.
And I knew Colgate has done it again, broken the monotony
and help evoke creativity in the most fun way without even the little kiddo
realising it (The icing on the cake this same excitement runs down his veins as he brushes his teeth with every mom's trust, Colgate, always hoping what surprise the next new pack will unfold for him). No, the school uniform was not changed, the lunch was not served,
until he has cut open and had a sneak peak of all the adventurous space
characters. I smiled in my heart as space was a significant part of the
curriculum for his next exam and what better way to revise the monotonous
subject than weaving stories around them.Thoughts and stories began churning
in his brain and I had to literally pull him out to change and freshen up and
have lunch before embarking on his space journey. Contrary to everyday, all of
it was finished precisely in 15 minutes and impeccably.
What followed was a mommy sonny candid discussion over
planets, rockets, satellites, astronauts etc. We talked everything from what
would we like the characters to be knows as to how he wishes to become an
astronaut when he grows up. Post that I gave him about an hour of free play to
juggle with the characters and weave his best space adventure escapade and left
his room.
Next, it was time for momma to be surprised with her little
bubble's version of his space adventure. He did it even better added with more
flavours of versatility when daddy darling came from work in the evening. I
share it with you all, my precious readers, below in his own words.
Arsh's Space Escapade to Save Momma
"One bright Saturday morn, I got up late only to find mom not
being around anywhere. Shiver went down my spines when I called her out many
times but no one replied. It's then that my eyes spotted a letter kept on the
dining table which stated that an alien from outer space has kidnapped mommy.
Without wasting time I wanted to rescue her at all costs before he could harm
her. I took the help of the astronaut uncle who visited our school some days
back who took me to space with him in a rocket. He dropped me on a manned
satellite from where I started my search operations in a space ship. Mr. Sun
told me that I must check with Mr.Venus where all pretty ladies stayed. The
alien might have trapped her there. But alas I didn't find mom there. On
requesting Mr. Mars many times, he revealed he has seen some suspicious
activity on the ringed Mr.Saturn where the alien often trapped lovely women who
loved rings. I knew mamma loved rings a lot and so I rushed to Mr.Saturn in the
way almost skipping a deadly clash with Mr.Comet. Hurray! I found Momma there
and rushed to hug her. Tears rolled down my eyes for I have found my treasure
my world back. Mom cuddled me in her arms like she always does. I planned to
start back before the deadly alien arrived back and was about to take a flight,
that's when I fell from my bed and woke up from my dream .
Mom ran to comfort and hug me and I was most delighted to get her back both in
my dream and reality.
Trust you liked my little sweetheart's space Adventure
Escapade to save his mommy as much as we loved hearing it from him ounce by ounce.
