Sweet, Cute, Lol, Wonderful... moments

  • Saturday morning you were in bed with us (but of course - RK scores are going way high in this arena) when you woke up and said 'Saturday' :-). Do you know it because both mom and dad are relaxed and in no hurry to get out of bed? What gives?
  • You are now able to say complete sentences. Earlier it used to be 'amma book' for me to read a book to you. Then it became 'amma book padikkum' (amma book reading) which is a complete sentence! You can always learn to dot your I's and cross your T's in school! :-D And now you say it like 'Amma inga ukkaachi book padikkum' (amma, sit here and read the book!) We are all amazed at you doing this at 18 months. My mom says I was a talker quite early too. Hee hee most who know me can agree. And DT can vouch for that too!
  • You kept saying what sounded like 'damake'. You are usually good about no baby talk and I know most times you mean something. I then figured it out. You were attempting to say 'Dam laga ke' (a hindi phrase used when trying to push/lift something heavy means use all your might). You had heard me say that to your dad when he was doing a chore around the house! :-)
  • You like the song 'Masakali' and demand to either dance when standing on my feet or that I carry you around and dance! Whew!
  • I loving call you a bunch of things like 'chella kutti, pattu kutti, thanga kutti' etc. When I ask you 'RK amma vooda?' you will say 'thanganga'. And I say 'amma loves RK' every night before bed. This evening you said 'RK loves amma' (coached by DT - who scores big for this BTW!)
  • The other day you asked your grandpa to lie down (taachi), stroked his chin and said 'pattu kutti'. He was bowled over.
  • You want your grandpa to sing 'Johnny Johnny' to the tune of what sounds like a classic raaga in Carnatic music.
  • Your grandma used to scare your dad into eating/sleeping with tales of 'Maago'. How this 'Maago' will come grab you if you don't etc. When she said that to you for the first time, you listened with rapt attention and then demanded 'Maago' stories only to laugh when she tells them!
  • You ask to watch 'Tom and Jerry' and are able to smile at the scenes that are funny in a slapstick way. I earlier thought it was because there was a laughter track somewhere that gave you a behaviour idea but no...even your grandpa doesn't laugh out loud or smile. How you comprehend them I have no idea.
