I drove down to Seremban on Tuesday morning. Mahadevan looked so different to me. He always looks different when I don't see him for a few days. I just couldn't stop holding him and hugging him. Luckily he didn't brush me off, as he sometimes does when I over do it.
I decided to leave on Wednesday afternoon as leaving its best to leave around his sleeping time so he'll sleep the whole journey. As my mom was putting him into the car seat, he started crying and said he didn't want to go back. Then he was begging my mom to come along. I decided to bribe him with some sweets (mentos, his favourite) and I thought I'll just drive around the neighbourhood so if he is still fussing its safe for me to pull over and attend to him.
His cries just got worse and by the time I reached the end of our road, he was trying to pull off his seat belt and screaming at the top of his lungs. I thought he might feel a bit better if i take the belt off so I undid it and he immediately reached for the door handle. He unlocked it and was attempting to pull it open. At that point I knew we were not going to go back then so I just drove home.
After he calmed down, we decided to try again but this time my mom sat in the car with us and we drove round round till he fell asleep. Once he was in deep sleep, I dropped my mom off and drove back, praying the whole time that he would not get up before I reach. Thank God, he only woke up when I reached my front gate. he immediately asked for his grandmother and started to cry but i managed to distract with some ultraman toys.
He is getting back to his old self but there are moments when he will suddenly ask for his ammama and start crying. Its a good thing that I will be going back again this Sunday but I'm rather worried about the following Sunday when we have to come back. Keeping my hopes up that all will go well.
Life is back to non-stop activities for me but I am not complaining....yet. It's soooo good to have him back.

Hi Priya,
Just want to let you know that I have moved and changed my name as well. There's a reason behind the name. Will write about it one of these days.
