Mum-Mum has got hurt :-(

I had a road accident and have hurt myself on the knees, palms and feet! Sparsh had just come back from playschool when I was rushed home after the accident with all the blood still coming out. I think the sight and my crying freaked him out. he kept crying the whole night and looked scared. I always knew that there was lot of strength in blood-relations but never knew that a baby could be so sensitive! I pray he never sees a bad sight again.

Pooh, Chi and To!

Generally boys are the todu-phodu kinds, but sparsh has a soft angle to him too! He loves his soft toys and proudly calls them his babsies. the latest addition to his collection are-
Pooh (Pooh), Chi (A chimpangee) and To (a tortoise)!

Shopaholic in making!

I love to shop and so does rest of my family, so why would the lil one be left behind! It is amazing to see him checking out stuff at shopping malls. he studies things seriously as if evaluating the quality, value-for-money, etc. We recenly went saree shopping and my husband was showing me a few options from those on the racks, before we knew sparsh started pulling out sarees from all corners and brought them to me, carrying them very carefully and with an expression that said- 'Do you like this mom?". I dont know when he grew up so much!

Aall izzz well!

I have been a big fan of Aamir Khan and love his movies particularly the recent path-breaking ones. But I did not know that Sparsh would become a fan tooo..and his first favourite song would be "all is well". He can recogonize the tune anywhere and identifies aamir as the 'all is well" uncle!
he is watching 3 idiots with so much interest in the shot below!

Kids buffet!

A novel concept! I saw a kids special buffets for the very first time in my life. We had gone to Zuri for lunch and were pleasantly surprised to see a separate spread for kids at a height suitable for toddlers as well. And the menu was any child's dream- fish fingers, burgers, chicken lollypops, cucumber and carrots, steamed corn, cheese cubes, watermelon, choco-doughnuts and ice-cream! Though Sparsh is a lil young to go around carrying his own plate..but the concept gets 10 on 10!

2nd rakhi!

Sparsh's second rakhi! he has received his rakhi from his cousin-Sneha didi( my cute 7 year old neice). But....he does not want to tie the rakhi...after lot of tantrums and various temptations..he finally wore the rakhi only to pull it out in less than 2 minutes!

Jungle safari!

It was on my wish list for long and I thought that Sparsh would also enjoy a visit to banerghatta national park, since he has just started recogonizing dogs and cats!
Sparsh was an instant hit...not with the wild cats but with the mob of school kids out on a day trip.
Anyways as expected, Sparsh thought that all herbivores were "Birds" and all carnivores were "Bhow-bhows". Interesting classification...sweet and simple!

Mother's taste!

Sparsh has my taste! Proof- his love for panipuri. he can spot a pani-puri wallah from a distance and knows the concept of eat a puri with filling and water...so no child-like dry puri's for him! I treat him to home made panipuri once in a while!

Oooooosh!

Sparsh is making serious effort to talk. Today while in the car, his show slipped out of his feet and he immediately started saying "Ooooosh".....I thought maybe he has hurt himself or is trying to tell me something about the fish he saw in an aquarium some time earlier....but finally I figured that he was actually trying to say "Shoeeeeee". Love your effort baby!
