Dinosaur Wailing

Dear Pandai,

Why are you afraid of the dinosaur? It’s only a stuffed anijmal....and you seems to wail even louder when it opens it’s mechanical mouth. Your Amma laughed so much she was holding her sides because they were aching.

You know, I realised today that you adore your brother, because you were so worried your Annai went missing at the Science Centre when we came out of the Dinosaurs exhibition.

And Annai loves you too, because he got pretty upset when I told him I was going to throw you into the dinosaur's mouth.

Love,

Appa

Cheating with SHOES

Dear Eshvarhen,

Amma’s sorry we had to do this to you, baby, but it was becoming harder and harder to leave you when we go to work. SO we had Ghandhima put on shoes for your each morning on the pretext that we will be taking you out, and then we all hurriedly left to work.

This trick worked for about a month, and then you became smart and realised the ploy.You insisted I put on yoru shoes instead.

*sigh* it was worth a try I suppose........

hugs Always,
Amma

Baby Vocabulary

Dear Eshvarhen,

You're 1 year 7 months, and just to record your progress:

You can now say "annai skooll", "wake up", "more", "innum", "anne", "alli (lizard)", "meow", "Wowo", "rattam", "anni" (water), "Uting (pacifier).

You can also make sentences, for example" Annai, wake up, amma". This means, "Annai, Amma is asking you to wake up".

You are also playing masak-masak, and cooking "meen" for me everyday. He also cook "muttai (egg).....abd lets me taste it.

You understand everything said in English and Tamil.....and you're unbelievably mischievious ( I think you're worst than your Annai, if that is even remotely possible)...but you get away with everything because of your cheekiy smile.

Love,

Amma
