My little apple is soo crispy...

I dint write about mm for a long time. I have lots and lots to say.

mm is 30 months old and just now started to talk a little bit.

When i took him to India, he was a baby boy but in this three months, he has been shaped into a toddler boy. He talks, he got his own characteristics, he chooses what to eat and play and even to wear his favorite dress.

Today, i was playing with him. After a while, he started to read/watch a book. So i took my slogam book and started to read. A few minutes passed, mm called me to play with him. i told him that i am in middle of the slogam and asked him to wait. After a while, he again called me, i repeated the same. He came and took the slogam book and kept it in the floor and sat on it and said "Kannom". I told that it was with him. He thought for a second and hide it in his car trunk and said "Kannom amma".. I told him, if the slogam is stopped in between, god will feel bad. Then he thought for a while and told "Om shanthi shanthi shanthi hee" and kept the book in the swami stand and grinned at me.

Whenever i say slogam or Omkaram, he says, "No Om amma" and starts singing "Mary had a little lamb".

Whenever any kid visits our home, he will offer his toys to them and will ask them to play with him. he will try to make friendship with them. I am really happy for this character. This he inherited from his dad.

During our travel to India, we had a break at Brussels. There were lots of Indian kids playing. There he met a small boy, he should be 3 to 4 years old. mm tried to play with him. mm observed him and behaved very sweet to him, shared his toys, obeyed the rules in the game and called him anna. The boy was so impressed that he got some snacks from his mom and shared it with mm. He prized and gifted him a blue color car. He said to his mom, that the baby behaved very well, so he wanted to gift him with a toy to play. He dint feel like leaving mm at all. I was really proud at that time.

On board, during our travel, the air hostess presented him some coloring book, crayons and a bag and a bottle to play and work. On the way to the seat, he saw the other air hostesses, who greeted him and he started to give them the gifts he got (instead of holding it tight). They were really impressed. They said that the kid is soo generous.

mm is a copy cat. We use to call our people in India during weekends and his dad will hold the phone in his hand and will be walking while talking. mm will also take his toy phone and walks along with his dad while talking.

Last weekend, we went for fishing to a nearby river. We three, along with some friend, it was nice hot day. While we were fishing, "the float and the pin" which we used, caught into a plant. One of our friend, folded his pant, removed his slipper and went into the water to get them back. copy cat mm got into action after him. mm's pant was already folded as it was very hot. he removed his slipper and went into the water. The water was really muddy and contained lots of tree remains. Ooops mm dint expect that. He started to cry, as he became very dirty. He dint move even a little bit. It was a funny scene.

He likes elder kids than younger ones. After a few time, i came to notice, he is trying to learn from them. With younger kids, he plays 'peek a boo' and try to make them laugh.

Yesterday he came to me saying, "Kadichi amma, kadichi". I asked him, "Ennada kadichi". He took me to his toy dragon and said, "Dragon kadichi amma". He was telling it, as though it was real. Actually it is a fire engine which can be transformed into a dragon. After a while, i realized that while transforming into a fire engine, the dragon can hold our fingers. My son was right, the dragon bite him ;-)

Yesterday, I was playing with him. and this happened

Amma: Amma kathula nee ethavathu vishayam sollu and amma vun kathula ethavathu vishayam solluven.
mm:Ok amma
Amma, mm kathula: Tomato rice panninein
mm, amma kathula: Amma
Amma, mm kathula: Rice mm ku pudikum
mm, amma kathula: Appa
Amma, mm kathula: Vera enna pudikum
mm, amma kathula: (was thinking didn't know what to say)
So i told him to repeat what i say
Amma: enaku
mm : enaku
Amma: amma na
mm : amma nna
Amma : Pudikum
mm : no pudikum
he started to roll in the bed laughing. Ooops Appa madhri pulla Arrr..

One day, we were having our milk and cereal. I was feeding mm. After a while, he put a break.
Amma: palla kudichidu mma
mm : no
Amma: See naan fulla kudichiten, neeyum kudi
mm: no amma.
Amma: Yaaravathu palla methi vaipaangala
mm: Daddy
Ooops, he noticed the bowl, even i hide it behind the cereal box. MM left some milk as I poured too much of milk in his bowl. Arrr...

Last week we were seeing a movie, I dint even notice the movie's name. In that movie, the Plane was being hijacked and they were about to have a crash landing. Suddenly i saw mm rolling in the floor. Then I realized he is pretending to be in the plane, while it is landing..
My baby has grown so much. He knows a lot and his mom is thinking that he is still a baby.
