He is so adorable!

I know I have said this zillion times before but I can't resist saying it again and again when he does or says something such as what I'm going to write now.

This happened about an hour ago. I was having dinner at the dining table and he comes up to me with his hands behind his back, held together and with a very straight face says "Mujhe aap se kuchh baat karni hai" (I want to talk to you about something) I was so dumbstruck and almost froze hearing him say that.
With the morsel still in my hand which I was about to eat, I said, "Bolo!" (Tell me)

And then we had little bit of our conversation and only when he was satisfied with my answer that he said "OK". So I asked him "Aapko aur kuchh baat bhi karni hai?" (Do you have any other thing that you want to talk about?)

He very plainly replied, "Nahi. Bas yahi baat karni thi." (No, this was the only thing)

He has suddenly started talking in such a matured way that it leaves me with mixed feelings. It makes me happy that he is growing up and sad that my little baby is not so little anymore. I guess we mothers are made like that :)

His portrait!

Anirudh loves to keep drawing something or the other or just simply writing the alphabet. And when he is in a mood to write the letters from the alphabet, he will not follow the sequence. He will write them out in random order. And sometimes he has filled up the entire A4 sheet of paper with just the alphabet. And then it looks nothing less than the inscriptions of hieroglyphics from the stone ages :)

Here is the drawing which he first called as 'A baby" and then later as "Meri picture" (Self portrait) after he was done :)


Whatever it is, whether a baby or his own portrait I found it cute enough to put it up here!

The tales of the hair!

Yes hair and not hare : )

He is right now standing in front of the mirror and combing his hair. He ruffled them up after I had combed them saying "Yeh achha nahi hai" (This is not good).

And just now he came to me asking "Yeh achha lag raha hai na?"(This is looking good, right?) and when I said "Nahi" (No) he, in a very matter-of-fact tone, told me "Aap galat bol rahe ho" (you are saying it wrong which basically meant he wanted me to answer in yes).

Then he asked his papa and when hubby answered "yes" he turns to me and says "Dekha Papa ne theek bola hai" (see, papa said the right thing). So basically he wants us to say 'yes' when he expects a 'yes' :D

In fact on Sunday when I was giving his hair a trim, when I was done he asked me "Main cute lag raha hoon?" (am I looking cute?) hehehe

I wonder how he is going to behave when he grows up and is in his teens. He already is so particular about his looks.

He is so smart!

After watching the movie "Taare Zameen Par" we went to pizza hut for dinner.

Anirudh was really being naughty and was testing my patience. So once I showed my hand to him saying he will get one big pitti if he doesn't behave. And can you imagine what he did? He started giving puchhas to on my hand and then gave me one too many on my cheeks.

After this who can remain angry? He really knows how to handle people good!

A small kid?? Who me??

Incident 1
I was egging him to get ready quick as we had to to go out. He asked me where? I told him first we need to go to doc and then pick up Yashu Bua and then go for the movie.

He: Mere doctor ke paas jana hai?
Me: Nahi. Mere

He: Kyun? Aapki tabiyat theek nahi hai?
Me: Theek hai. Mujhe kuchh baat karni hai.

He: Kya baat karni hai?

I was rolling my eyes thinking now he wants to know everything. But I was also touched by his concern when I told him I have to go to doc. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Incident 2
After taking bath as I came into the room, since my feet were still wet I slipped and hurt myself and my right foot toes slammed against the bed post. It hurt quite bad more because of cold weather I guess and I was in tears.

Betu came running to me and after hugging me and giving me "it will be fine soon" kisses I got a big big lecture from him about how to be careful. :)

Creativity!

On our recent trip he saw couple of trailers which were transporting cars and motorbikes. He was quite amused seeing so many cars atop a 'itna bada truck!!" (such a big truck) in his words :)

And yesterday, using his blocks, he made his own version of it:

Interesting, isn't it? :D

Modern day Maakhan Chor!

10 mins ago I caught him climbing up on the kitchen slab and taking a packet of chocolate chip cookies from the cupboard. Here are the proofs:

Taking out the packet of cookies!

Got it!

Time to escape now!

Mission Accomplished!

He didn't see me till he turned towards the door and squealed when he did! It was such a mixed expression on his face. He was laughing but also a little shocked that I had caught him!

Fun on the trip!

Waiting (at 1 AM) at Badi Chaupar, Jaipur for Dadu-Dadi to pick us up!

Meri lath se bach kar rahna!

Standing tall!

Sulking (as he wanted to go for a boat ride)

Here comes the Maharaja!

Being Naughty!!
