Chokkit bikkit is the demand we hear very often in our household as the youngest member has started getting more and more vocal in his demands. He now also follows it up with OUR set of dialogues saying "Mummy office se aayegi naah, toh bikkit le aayegi aur Cubby ko degi!'
Ofcourse, he is equally or even more vocal about things he DOESN'T want to do/eat. As the terrible two's show up in all their glory the instantaneous response to anything suggested is "Naee kanoonga" or "Naee Chaaiye"! And if it's not that it has to be "Main Kanoonga!". Even a sock taken off without letting him do it is reason enough to throw himself bodily on the floor and kick up a storm. We can do something for him if he graciously allows us to by telling us in so many words "Tum kano!"
But the terrible 2's are terribly cute too. With his increased understanding and vocab he makes us smile even more often. He talks his head off all the time and sometimes we just tell him to shut up and breathe! Can't blame the poor kid, it's in his genes! :p
Now that Cubby is going to school he learning his ABCs an he loves singing it all the time and we LOVE seeing him sprinkle sugar saying"Shugga on your bedd" and then do the sleeping action and say "Betta go to bed!"
This BIDWF moment came thanks to this new knowledge.
We were sitting in a restaurant and Cubby was getting fidgety and bored towards the end of the lunch. So we got some tissue papers and he started scribbling. Then he said "Tum likho naa!" So I held his hand with the pen and we were writing my name. So I went "A B H A".
What does Cubby say very indignantly?
"Nahi!! A B C D!"
WE could not stop laughing!
He similarly stunned us by spouting days of the week and months of the year! I mean we keep forgetting that he goes to school and already has a life that we have no clue about.
The kid is growing up way too fast, I tell ya! :)
Apart from that his eating habits MIGHT just be improving. He suddenly got completely turned off by the tasteless goop he had been having for past over an year, namely khichdi and raagi. He made it very clear that he will not be eating it anymore by refusing to let even a morsel go in his mouth without having to go through a battle.00
Now he likes stuffed parathas (esp aanoo and paneen), sambhar chawal and dahi chawal. He also likes to eat just sukhi chapati. So the attempt to make him normal dal-roti-subzi etc has not yet been made. Add to that Amma makes sure that he inherits the local taste buds and often does not even TRY and give the stuff that I make and keep. That bit is getting a little annoying, but then I end up not making a big deal because at least he is eating without too much fuss. (Touchwood and Anti jinx!)
He loves colouring and now recognizes (that means past few months) all the common colours. His latest favourite is Geen cunon (colour) and he insists on having all liquids in his Geen Gaas wonly! :D
He also comes up with some funny n funky dance steps every now and then and I am guessing that is the "Schoon effect" too! :)
All in all, if you discount the omnipresent whining, life is good! :D
Considering I have done like a mini Cubby update, leme just do one tag as well!

But he is eating very well now na.. Last sunday, I was amazed at him asking him for chicken and juice :)
And yeah, touch wood, anti-jnx etc etc
Sala mera beta to sahib hogaya.He is definitely behaving like a snoty grown up. Snoty or not still very adoreble. Can I write ABHA now and not ABCD?
Time has suddenly stopped for me. When will 18th come? Please please come soon, na
Lovely post n the pics all the more :)
He can say so many words! Luv to Cubby :)
I want aanoo and paneen paratha too :P
I love that pic with the bnoo umbnella (is that how it is pronounced?)
The terrible twos are terribly cute for us - even more because we don't get to hear the whining!
BIDWF???
UB city has an amphi-theatre?
Hmmmm!! Too long - the time gap!!! Should have been nearer to come anytime I wanted to enjoy with you all and Kabir!!!!!
But I keep getting clued in due to your blog.
:)
Tks for taking up the tag! The update was adorable...good ol' Cubby! He's smart, that one.
I want to go to RJ too! And you reminded me we haven't yet seen UB City:( Loved the pix! and didn't know about your halo;) Probably I can't see it bcoz of ur dazzling smile:-D
Just a super sweet update. The tag was enlightening, even for me! He's really at an amazing age. You forgot to tell people what his creative mama in 'Meica' calls him- Baby Teenager :)
I agree!!
We should try and kidnap that security guy. He did the same to us also :D
Lovely pictures! :)
Loved this post about everything!
Yes, their conversations get sweeter and more interesting with every passing day. And your little Cub is just the sweetest!
Yaay!! on the eating! See, it eventually all falls into place :)
As for the tantrums, it's the desire for independence that drives them, so don't worry about that score too much. Easier said than done, I know, when the screams threaten to burst wide-open that already throbbing vein in your temple...but this too shall pass :)
And I LOVED the snaps...but then, I always do :)
The blue umbrella pic is super cute !
Nice update.
LOLOL Loved reading this post. Their pronunciations are really killing, aren't they? :-D
LOL @ ABCD. :-D What is BIDWF????
If I show Sonny boy these pics, he's bound to ask if we can go to see- not Cubby, but - Cubby's father! Mayunk is a big hit! :-D
