Sparsh's second christmas

Toilet Training

We got a small toilet seat for Sparsh and have started rigrous toilet training. The care taker at the day care also claims to be doing the same. Sparsh likes the small toilet seat...so far so good!

Sense of time!

Sparsh has known moon and stars for sometime but sun was more difficult to identify, probable because we did not spend as much time out in the sun as we do out in the evenings.

Yesterday when I was changing his clothes and was putting his night suit he explained to me that we would all sleep now and get up in the "moooorning".

Sleeeep!

Sparsh has this orange sheet with small dogs made on it which the day care lady uses to cover him with when he takes a nap in the afternoon. One evening, when Sparsh's father was relaxing, Sparsh suddenly covered him with that orange sheet and said "sleeeep"..."dont cry"...."sleeeeep". He was looking so cute and we guessed that is the way he is put to sleep in daycare and he associates that orange sheet with sleep.

Mummy-office

seniors at work who have kids older than Sparsh have been telling me get over the guilt of being a working mom coz they feel that the kids tend to respect the fact that their mother is educated and goes to work. I always thought it was too heavy duty to be true, till I overheard Sparsh telling his baby-sitter with a big smile on his face that " Mummy-office- laptop- work". I think he understands that I leave him to take care of other responsibilities..I hope that seniors have been saying turns out to be true.

Chota!

Choti didi, chota nanu, choti nani, choti book......Sparsh likes the word Chota and likes to add Chota/choti before many words. It really sounds very cute.

Sparsh's first haircut

Sparsh had his first hair cut today!!! It took me, his dad and his nanu to manage all the crying that he did...but he is looking so cute in the new hair style :-)

Party time!

Toddler dictionary: Party is a place where there are lot of balloons, somebody cuts cake and there is an exchange of gifts! Simple and to the point!

Bed-time Story

Sparsh's school teacher sends one book home every friday and we read it to him over the weekend. These are really simple stories and sparsh is attracted to the pictures most of the time. On one such friday he got a book about keeping the city clean. Sparsh really liked the book. That night while going to bed he asked me to tell him a story- his first ever official bed-time story! It was such a beautiful moment and has become a ritual since then :-).

Aunty tummy fall!

the title sounds strange..isnt it! I felr the same when Sparsh started singing this while falling on the bed again and again. It took quite an effort to discover that he had actually learnt- " Humpty dumpty" at school and was calling that "aunty tummy"!

Dance dance!

One day when Sparsh's father went to pick him from day care, the care taker asked him to wait for some time. We never took that seriously that though that he must be just playing.

To our surprise 2-3 days later Sparsh suddenly said- "Cum mummy, dance!?"....I was so thrilled and he actually started doing some cute dance steps. he was enjoying himself and wanted to go on dancing. I so plan to send him to a dance class rightaway!
