Daily Dose 6

Some great news finally ..Akshaj has started to speak ..yeah..
Speech Therapy really worked ..her therapist was full of praise for him ..that he has done very well and shown great progress :-)
And its not only the words which he learned there ..now he has started repeating words after us ..he has even gone ahead and started manipulating us already ..you ask how ??

Example one:

Premise :Puneet scolds Akki for something ..
Akki:goes to his granddad and says "papa mar" "papa mar"(papa ne mara ie papa hit him)


Example two:
Premise:Akki likes closing door and then asks somebody to open it for him.Yest when Akki,me and P were in a room,Akki went and closed the door on us and then asked his grandmom to open the door for him.After that, in total insult to her, he makes her go away and closes the door on her ,now again me ,P and Akki are in room with door closed)

Akki(after sometime to us) :Dadi ..band ..dadi band(ie complaining that Dadi (has against his wish) closed the door)

Example three:
Premise:Whenever Akki gets hurts and cries we give him glucose and he stops crying

Akki now cries his hearts out even if he does not get hurt also...and starts saying "gucose" "gucose" ..that is still ok ..that is totally understandable ..

but one day he got hurt (not that much) but he started crying anyway ..his grandparents thought to ignore him to see what he does ..but they were totally shocked to see that he actually hit his head hard against a wall just to grab their attention and get glucose ..and this he has already done twice ..

and you say kids are innocent !!


But offcourse there are some good things he has learnt as well :-)

now he has started filling in some of the rhyms which I sing to him..

like if :

Me:Old Mcdonald had a farm
Akki:eia eia o..

or if I ask him to sing a poem

Akki: ro ro ro (row row row ur boat)

and he keeps repeating 'chai chai" (kadagi rhyms) thorughout the day ..
he sure is going to love tea by the way he eyes lit up when we drink tea

When I leave for office before he wakes up ,he wakes up crying and keeps saying "mama gaye " to everyone in house ..

he can now recognise and say his main body parts like :eye,nose,ears,hands,stomach,lips,teeth,tongue,chin

his dadu has already started teaching him ..staring with hindi letter 'a' 'aa' 'e'..

when he draws anar,aam and imli or says 'a' for like that akki is able to currectly recogonise and speak them..

and Akki loves when we draw "tar"(star) or "channa"(chanda) for him...once he was saying "tar tar" I just could't get what he was saying ..then he got very irritated and made star action by hand as if to say how dumb can mummy get !!
