Vaibhav when doesnt fall asleep, I just say "kanna muchu [Close your eyes]" in a stern voice. Vaibhav immediatly covers his eyes with both his palms or quickly turns his face and closes his eyes. Belive me, it is just so cute to watch him do that.
Vaibhav, Close your eyes and sleep

Karthik's prized toy
Pradhan had come home over the weekend. He particularly liked the cart like toy which Karthik has and Karthik is damn possessive about it. Karthik being 3 and Pradhan being 7, Karthik was no match for him. How will Karthik protect his prized toy? When Pradhan wasn't watching, he drove the cart and parked it safely in a corner of the bathroom!
Boys having fun with water
Today I thought of letting both my boys play in water. So, I put some water into the bucket and put it out in the balcony.
One dropped a duck into it and other dropped jeep and bat into it. They enjoyed immensely, splashing water, stirring water, pouring water through the duck and jeep.
It was so joyful to watch them enjoy playing.

titbits of Vaibhav
Vaibhav has learnt putting rubbish into the dustbin, we haven't explicitly trained him on that though. If he picks up a paper randomly and tries to put it in his mouth, we ask him to put it in the dustbin. He promptly walks to the bin, lifts the lid and throws the waste paper. Now, if he sees any waste paper lying on the floor,
he promptly picks it up and puts it into the dustbin.
Vaibhav now understands if his appa is going off to work. When Raj is all ready to leave to office, he goes to him and tells him in his sign and broken language that he wants to go with him. He points his slippers to Raj and then shows the wooden stool where he sits and wears the slippers, on the whole, indicating to Raj that he wants to wear them and go with him. When Raj didn't put his slippers, he himself pulled out Karthik's slippers and attempted to wear them. So cute!!
If we tell Vaibhav "Vaibhav kanna muchu"[Vaibhav, close your eyes], he immediately puts both his hands on eyes to close them. Just too cute!!
Vaibhav somehow has learnt that he needs to pee in the bathroom. So, whenever we take him or he steps into the bathroom he pees. Sometimes he would have stepped into the bathroom with a gap of few minutes, but he still attempts and pees fews drops. :-)

Vaibhav randomely picks any object, puts it against his ears and says "hello". He walks around the hall with the object against his ear, pretending to talk to someone. Raj, walks around the house or hall talking on his mobile, Vaibhav has seen this and now imitates with a dummy phone.

I want to be with Appa
Karthik's annual day was coming up on 22nd Feb and we had to buy a superman dress for him. On Friday, 14th Feb, we decided that we will buy his superman's dress and later have dinner at Global Grill. When we got off the car at the children's clothing shop, Karthik insisted that Raj carry him. He ensured that Raj carried him through the entire shopping, and he wouldn't get off his arms even when we had to try the superman's dress on him. Raj had to convince Karthik that trying would just take a moment and he would hold him all through it. But Karthik refused to put his feet on the floor, so I had to just hold the dress against his dangling body to see the size.
Once the shopping was done, we went back to the car. Karthik realized that if Raj drives the car, he will have to sit with me but he just wanted to be with his Appa. So Karthik suggested that we walk to the hotel for dinner instead of taking the car. His thought was that if we don't take the car, his Appa will continue to carry him :-). Karthik wouldn't get off Raj's arms. Raj then convinced him that the hotel is way too far off and if we walk, the ice-cream would get over, hence we need to take the car. Karthik looked convinced, but he came up with another brilliant idea. He suggested that I drive the car, while he sits with his Appa. I wasn't so confident of driving in a traffic filled road, so Raj had to convince him to sit with him, so that we could reach the hotel fast. But, he just wouldn't sit with me. Finally, Raj put him on his right lap and drove the car.
Well! it was the advantage of having a auto geared car.

"Appa" for the first time.
It was a fabulous day yesterday for Raj. Vaibhav for the first time addressed Raj directly as "Appa", as he extended his arms so that his appa could carry him. Raj was overjoyed, he stopped all his work, took Vaibhav in his arms and relished every moment with him.
Artist at work
I keep a piece of chalk near the tulasi plant, so that every day morning I can pick it and put rangoli in front of tulasi. Off late I would see it was missing. I wasn't sure what was happening to it, but I didn't give it too much thought either. Today, I noticed that Vaibhav picks the chalk quietly, brings it inside and does his artwork all over the house. He knows well, where the chalk writings will show up and where it won't. So picks the right places and does his artwork.
Whacky !!
Karthik was sitting cross legged and having breakfast. He looked like a cute Ganesha. So I pulled his cheeks and said "Ganeshaaaa". Then I asked him, "Namma mane alli Ganesha yaaru?"[Who is Ganesha in our house?]. He promptly replied "Appa". I asked him, "Appa yaake Ganesha?"[Why are you calling appa as Ganesha?]. He tapped his belly and laughed. I have been laughing ever since then.
When Karthik cries, his eyes get filled with tears. Once, he has stopped crying he comes and tells me "Amma, neer alli kaanu iidhe, oorsu"[Amma, eyes are in the water, wipe it] :-). Choo chweet!!
