Today we went to Calf pasture beach again for fishing. This time we had company and even luck ;-). Two of MM's colleague were with us. When we went there it was almost noon.
There was a deck for fishing. It was a wooden deck and as it was unsafe for mm to play there, i took him to the nearby play area. In which, mm was interested in a slide. He was playing in the slide, while one of the girl (who was playing there) taught him how to hang in the top of the slide. thats it, mm started to hang holding a rod which was there for a grip. My heart skipped its beat for a while. It was some 8 feet tall slide. I took mm and moved away from the slide.
Then i took him to the nearby garden and we were catching butterfly. Again mm started his naughtiness. he picked some stones from the sand and started to throw them on the people walking nearby. Its again our time to move away from that place too.
Then i met a lady(Afro American) who used to talk with me in library and mm started to play with her kid, while i was talking with her. That boy was holding a ball and some more toys. mm started to snatch away his toys and ball. Hmm again we moved away from that place too..
We both went to the shore where they had laid some stone to walk. As we were walking over the rock, singing rhymes, mm tried to jump in the water. Again we moved. But this time, i went to his father. He was having a great time fishing and chatting with his colleagues..
Hmm, 3 hrs paused & I was really tired running behind mm in that hot summer day.
Then we both went into the beach water and was playing there. As mm started to go deep into the water, I dragged him out. Some 1 hr went like that.
Then, it happened. MM caught two fishes one after another.. One was a Flat fish and the other was a blue fish..
It was exciting to see the fishes. MM's colleague wanted the fish for dinner. Otherwise, i would have dropped it back into the water. (we dont eat seafood;-)) I never thought about fishing before. When MM asked me to come with him for fishing, i was not much interested.. But when we caught two fishes, somehow the sport interested me.. Fishing will be in our list of activities for the days to come ;-)... I will have enough energy for fishing and hope God grant me the energy to run behind mm...
I made some boiled corn and sundal for snacks. We nicely ate our snack. We were there for a while and started home. It was a fulfilling day, teaching mm not to hang in the slide, not to throw stones, not to snatch things from other kids and not to leave my hand and jump while walking and in water.. Hmm.. Being a mother is really a great JOB...
