Happy Holi !!

This was Akshaj's first full blown Holi,last year we had holi in a much smaller scale.Initially we were skeptic how will he react since last year he had cried a lot seeing us playing holi(Although once we were done he had a blash splashing the waters)But all our fears were put to rest when he really got in the holi mood.In our building they played holi not only on Sunday but on Saturday also ,and he played on both the days .We were quite unprepared for Saturday Holi,had still not bough colors and pichkari.But our neighbor had bought pichkari for Akku ..so we just went like that and what fun it was ...

Only problem I faced was that Akshaj kept asking me for specific colors like he want red,yellow,blue etc and kept asking till I didn't get for him ...since we had actually gone there as a trial run and had not bought any colors it was quite something to tend to his demands..but holi means there is no dearth of colours ..so I just kep on smuggling them from others :-)

Parroting

Akshaj was never a parrot kid ..he rarely ever repeated the words we used to say ..until we pester him..but now he is doing it ..but still I am not happy ...I just roll my eyes and wonder ..are thinking why ?Here are some of the glimpse of his parroting :

Akshaj drinks his milk from sipper ..other things he happily drinks from glass but when it comes to milk full drama starts ...and somehow because of his constant cough and cold I am not getting heart to force him..so I try reason with him and how :

me :Akku bottle se dudu nahi peete
Akku:Cup se peete hain
me:Yes ,cup se peete hain
Akku:Gilas se peete hain
me :yes ..(glimmer of hope)
Akku:babu glass se peete hain,x glass se peeta hai,x glass se peeta hain
me:hmmm...(now I know what is happening)
Akku:bottle se peene se dant tooo jate hain...
me:Akku kis se peeyega
Akku:cup se
me:ok ,mama cup main dudu laye
Akku:gilas main
me:ok
Akku:NO,bootle main ..and if I bring up to the scene then it all starts crying and calling for his dadi to support

His grandmother has got some teeth removed..so I try to tell him that she used to drink from bottle when she was small that's why her teeth are gone now but now there is no need to explain this as he has learnt it by heart

Akku:dadi ke dant too(t) gaye ,dadi bottle se doodo peethi thi
me:to akku kaise dooth piyega
Akku:cup se,glias se .....nahi bottle se :-(

He calls "tomato sauce" as "sox" ..so I always used to correct him telling the difference between 'sauce' and "sox"..i was getting quite frustrated as to why he doesn't say properly when one fine day this happend

Akku:akku ko 'sox' chahiye
me:'sox' nahi kehte ,kya kehte hain
Akku:sauce ,'sox' to pav main pehnte hain

he sometimes purposely talks gibberish ...so I ask him to say thinks properly ...so during breakfast he was asking something talking giibersh

Akku: etu pututusdd
me:Akku ..was about to say something when
Akku:eyse nahi bolte,sahi se bolo

I have started toilet training him,what really excites him that he get to put water himself after it ..but getting him out of bathroom is a tough task ...we will keep on pouring after one mug after other,so after he has done the work:

me :akku chalo ho gaya
akku:lat ..bilkuuuuuul lat..and keeps going on(offcourse his last extends to infinitey)


Needless to say he was just repeating what used to say him to on such occasions

There are some originals also though:

he loves to say akku bada ho gaya hai these days ...as we say akku chota hai for some things which he should not be doing

Akku:Akku bada ho gaya
me:par akku bada ho gaya to bottle se dudu kyon pita hai ,bade bacche bottle se dudu nahi peete
Akku:akku cup se dudu piyega
me:akku kab se cup se dudu piyega
Akku:kal se (that is what is know as take a taste of ur own medicine ..as I tell him we will do something tmrw to paicfy him)

one more scenario
akku's dadi:Akku bada hai ki chota
akku:akku bada
dadi:fir akku dadi sath soyega..akku bada ho gaya hai
akku:akku chooooota hai ...mama sath soyega
