Happy birthday Abhiram

WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND. I don't deny this fact. But why am I forced to listen to it on an infinite loop? Why? Oh yeah! Because its apparently my son's new favorite. And what else, the tiny tiger has turned 2 this week. Happy 2nd birthday to the momma in me. And yes happy birthday to my son as well. 

The past 2 years have been quite something to me. It feels like just yesterday that he was born. Yet it feels like he has been with me since times unknown. The last 2 years have just whizzed past me in fast forward. Yet I can't deny that I enjoyed each and every moment watching him grow. At the age of 2, he is as naughty as Calvin. Serves me right for having read the Calvin and Hobbes collection while the Tyke was within me.

The past 2 years have been quite adventurous, action packed, emotional and equally confusing and frustrating. I have realized that I have become a character and viewer of a suspense thriller daily soap. He is so spontaneous, stubborn and unpredictable. (just like his dad in case you are wondering.) The rate at which he tugs at my hair, I am sure to go bald in another couple of years.

As of today, he can crawl, run, sprint, jump, hop, sneak and hide.  He can enact "Twinkle Twinkle little star.", "Chal mere ghode chal chal chal." and partly "Wheels on the bus" and "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands." He sings sometimes (not in perfect rhythm and with no coherent words). His favorite toy is his kitchen set, that I gifted him in haste so as to have my kitchen for myself. But though he loves his miniature kitchen, he still holds a great fancy for my kitchen and everything in it. He is smart enough to kill the cockroaches he lays his eyes upon. 

His vocabulary is not as much as that of a 2 year old. But as a mom, it still sounds cute to me. Here is the Abhiram language translator. This is mostly for my future references and others might as well ignore it.

This is not an exhaustive set of words from his dictionary. But are the most commonly used words.

I know, I know how boring it could be for others to read this blog. But I had to write it for him.
