Hello All,
Okay .. Okay ..Sorry ..Sorry .. It's been three months since I blogged , just the usual reason.. Dad's been busy .. Moreover Patti was here , so was busy spending time with her.
Finally dad has found time to post some Halloween Pictures.. ! Have a glimpse....Unlike the last year when I did a hue and cry for wearing my halloween monkey dress. This time I behaved good and even posed for a few pictures.
I went door to door shouting Trick or treat and was delighted to see my pail gradually get filled with candies ! (Mom's hidden it and I am trying to figure out the hiding place...)
I have now grown a little taller and a little smarter ;-) (I am sure MOM won't agree with me on that ...she keeps asking me "Will you ever be Potty trained ?" "Will I have to change your diapers even when you are 10 ? ). What do you guys think ? Will I ever >>>>> ;-) Please vote ha ha !
Mom says I keep talking lot of things..
My Tamil vocabulary has definitely improved - I know Green pepper is "kodamolaga"; and "Vengayam " is onion. I know little is "Konjam Konjam"; I tell appa when he leaves home "Pathu Ponga Pa" ; I can sing "Dosai Amma Dosa" , "Nila Nila" poems and "RO RO RANGAPPA.." (taught by my own OM THATHA alias Raja thatha)..
My English vocabulary is way ahead .. thanks to Minto Cassa .. Here are a few memorable conversations I did over the last few months which brought roars of laughter at home ..
- I was having a shower , the bucket was blocking my way ..so I just pleaded the bucket.."Excuse me Bucket..Please MOVE ..I got to go .."
- Amma and me were having a stroll , she said to me "Please move to the corner, I see a car coming...", for which I replied "Amma, that's not corner that's pavement"
- Appa was teaching me to write on a slate .. He said "Rishi, I don't think you can manage this" for which I replied .. "Don't worry Appa ..I got it"
- Amma called out to me Rishi.. Rishi , i was busy with something and Amma calls out Mottai enada panra .. I reply to her "Amma I am no mottai I am thalai" - The other day appa, me and lakshmi patti had gone for a stroll, me and amma were behind, at one point I couldn't see appa and patti ..So I asked "Amma where is Appa? Where is Patti? Where is my Family?" that brought ripples of laughter
I have now started enjoying Barney, especially Barney on a bus. I have just seen it for say a 1000 times ....;-)
Every time we leave home I want to drive the car (not really :) ) but pretend to do I have to open the car, sit on the driver's seat, switch on the engine, switch on the radio, adjust the mirrors.. Sometimes it's nerve wrecking for Amma and Appa but I enjoy doing it ! :)
I have been taught over 60 country capitals , a few Slokas and Thirukurals.. I can identify most of the animals and birds and fruits and veggies ..(oops dada forgot to add snapshots of those..will remind him to do it the the next time)
Here is a glimpse of what I have been up to. Enjoy...
Hey all of you first of all a huge apology .. I know it's been sometime since we updated the site . Whoever I have been speaking have been asking me for photos and videos of Rishi. So finally .. we got this bundle for all of you !
Rishi is growing up . He has started enjoying to go to daycare now. what a big change that is . The problem is now , he starts crying even on Saturdays to go to Ms.Angel, I wish I could afford that :)
He is now able identify basic colors /identify fruits/veggies& birds/able to count 1-20 / alphabets /some poems/ slokas /some country capitals..and what not ? I remember , when he was 14 months, I used to pray to God daily that he should start talking .. he wouldn't say a word then and now.... HE WOULDN'T STOP. His vocabulary is improving every day but the major issue is he intends to speak mostly in English..I keep correcting him and insist that he replies to me in Tamil but he struggles. If I tell him talk to me in Tamil he would say .. " Tamil"
He loves talking to Om thatha ( My father has been nicknamed by Rishi that way because he keeps playing "Om venkatesaya Namaha" at home). he chats to him via the phone otherwise is chatting to him on his toy phone.."I just did dinner thatha, speak to you tomorrow ..c ya ..Good night..love you thatha " . To lakshmi Patti, he says " Patti get me popsicle"(because I told him patti is coming here next month, and she'll get you popsicles !!!)
Rishi is having a world cup fever too.. The moment I switch on any cricket match ..he would say, "Common Guys" or " Oh my God" or "Indiaaaa.. India" (That's what i keep screaming often)
We have just put in randomly what he has been doing , I assure you that I will put the second part also shortly..
