Baby G has started repeating almost everything we all say. He tries it with the same amount of stress we give on every syllable but it comes out a lot cuter than the word itself. His bedtime cuddles are a rabbit when we visit my parents place and a teddy at our home. He calls them Babbitt bommai (bommai - toy), Teddy bear and he also has a little pug toy that he has named Berry after our neighbours pug Berry.
He's also in that phase where he has understood that a little crying works wonders. When the iPad is refused he cries and when we repeat a firm 'no', he lies down on the floor facing down trying to get our sympathy. How do these kids know so much?!
I sing a lot to Baby G. Mostly when I cradle him, he quietness down when I sing to him. And out of practice and by watching my grand mum, he knows to do the thalam and shake his head every time I sing. When he is a little cranky or bored, if get him to lie on my lap and sing rhymes to him. When I'm done with one, he claps and then stares into my face for another one. Sometimes he has requests. his favourite is 'Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping, Baby Gnan Baby Gnan'. When I sing 'Baby Gnan' he touches his chest proudly saying it's him I'm singing about. When he wants me to sing this one, he says 'Aaru cheechin'. So then I start again. He also loves 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed and 5 little monkey swinging on a tree. He claps too much at the end of those.
We've had quite a long summer at my parents house this time. Every evening he picks up his crocs and walks out to the car park and wants to water the plants. He loves to play with the water and I just let him play to beat the heat. We going back to our home soon and we cannot wait to get back to our routine and start our evening walks.
