Sentences

Sonny has now learned to form sentences. Some tit bits

1.

Me: Ayyo... I am having a terrible back pain.. don't know why (I sit on the stool, and there is a bag behind me)

Sonny: (Thinking that because of the bag I have back pain) yaake? Amma Abbu...? oooohoooo! And hits the bag!!! :)

2.

Me: Kanna, why do you always want to play with kitchen utensils? Why can't you play with normal toys? You always spread everything...blah..blah...

Sonny: (Interrupts in-between) Amma.... peeashe... Saaku! (Meaning stop your gyan :P)

3.

Me: (Getting ready to go to office)

Sonny: Amma... Beda... Gabbu... (He does not like the dress I am wearing! He says its yukkk.. !!!)

Children really grow fast. And mine is no exception. Its a treat to see him everyday come up with a new thing. Most of the times its NOT the things that we teach... but the things that we don't want them to learn is what they pick up faster ;-)

When we (me and my sis) were kids, everybody used to appreciate us for our behavior. We ofcourse did not realize the worth of that praise. But today looking back if I am able to instill half the values which my mom had instilled in us in my son then I can consider myself to be a successful mother :)

Why?

Why do we have children?
  • Are they our future insurance?
  • Are they stress-busters?
  • Are they play-mates?
  • Are they a status symbol?
You would think any parent these days will say NO to all of these.. think again. Somehow directly or indirectly the answer to one of these questions will be YES. Unfortunate!
