Karthik stars

Wow, Today Karthik got two stars on his wrist. It makes it 6 from the time he started off his Montessari I school on June 12th 2014 . 2nd September is his first observation day. I am waiting to go and watch him in his class.

Vaibhav understands Ads.

Today, there was TV ad for parachute oil. There was a man and a woman in the ad, later a child join them. Vaibhav points his finger to the lady and mand and says "amma - appa" !!. I was just so amazed.

Today's funny titbits

I gave water paints to Karthik and Vaibhav and asked them to paint the balcony walls. Hoping that it would satiate their wanting to write and paint and scribble the walls inside. Karthik painted enough, but he still continued to scribble on the walls!!I guess they just like doing it.

I was swinging Vaibhav in the cradle ("jooli"). Just to entertain him I was telling him "eeno janna maari, mudhu kholi"[What good boy, cute hen]. Immediately Karthik responded "Awanu Mudhu Kohli alla, baari kholi"[He is not cute hen but just hen].LOL!!

Karthik went into the bathroom to pee. Vaibhav was in diapers but still followed him to pee. Since, he was in diapers, he couldn't figure out what was happening, he kept looking down and at me and making a sign that nothing is coming!! It was hilarious.

Karthik and Vaibhav were fighting over the same sketch pen. They kept snatching from each other. At one point, Vaibhav was able to get hold of it. Immediately, he held the pen behind his back, as if to hide it from Karthik. That was amazing!!

This is my amma's !

Today, my nanny held my duppatta and was folding it. She then showed it to Vaibhav and said "Idhu Nandhu [This is mine]". Surprisingly, Vaibhav show the duppatta and started saying "Amma, Amma" and pulled the duppatta from the nanny's hand and handed it over to me promptly. It was just too cute and awesome to watch Vaibhav do it. Since, I couldn't capture this at first shot, I made nanny enact this again and captured it. Though, it wasn't as classy and original when Vaibhav did it first time, I still wanted to keep it for my memories.

Nanny did the same for Karthik. She held my duppatta and told him that it is hers. He fought fiercely with her, tugging the duppata on one end till she let it go. I couldn't record this incident though.

Vaibhav communicates

My little one Vaibhav, is surprising me now a days. Many times, not all the times, when he feels like peeing or pooping, he himself goes to the bathroom. At my mom's house bathroom has a bit high threshold, which Vaibhav can't cross easily. So, many a time he just goes outside the bathroom and pees. Today, at my home he was watching ryhmes when he peed. He immediatly got off the chair and pointed and said "chuchu". 

Vaibhav, Close your eyes and sleep

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.

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.
