Work from home

Mommy and daddy were both working from home as kiddo wasnt feeling too good. And there was a conference call. There is always a conf call. Whilst I was talking kiddo really badly wanted to talk to me and hubby was trying to shush him. And he says - super loud - "heyy use your mouth. Talk louder". I dont know who was more taken aback by the comment - his dad or my colleague at the other end of the phone. Thankfully he has kids too. That settles it!

Tiny story

Kiddo was super sad that he did not get to use the slides at the park as it was wet. We told him that we will go back later after sun dries it up just like in 'Incy wincy spider' and went on with our usual stuff. Later as we were driving to get groceries he says - "look, sun is out. Sun sun - go to the park and dry up the slide. Not here. Not here" :) :) :)

Tiny story

Kiddo was trying hard to poop. Really hard. And he exclaims - "its locked, no key!!!"

My careful lil guy

You know that prance where toddlers lie on their backs and move their hands and legs simultaneously? As if they were biking and boxing at the same time and hurting you in the process? It happened yesterday when I was lying down on the floor - relaxing(yes, it was at a friends place. You should have been able to guess that!) And he chose to snuggle beside me and started doing this after barely a second. I told him - "please stop, you are hurting me" only to be bowled over for he said "no amma, am not hurting you. I am just.. just... (thinking of an answer here?) carefully troubling you"!!!

Sleep time

We read good night moon at bedtime. More like recite it(after reading it million times who needs the book?). These days after the lights are out, we just say lines from the book and say good night to a whole lot of stuff. Kiddo popped a question all of a sudden - "why do we sleep in dark?". 'Hmm because.. because... sun went to sleep already and as we cant see anything we cannot go out and play or anything. So let us rest until sun comes back up again in the morning when we have loads of things to do'. Whoa mommy you did good, I thought to myself. But ofcourse, I never get the last word for he said 'no amma, lets go to the moon and fix more lights!!!'. Yes of course :)

Now, thats a great idea

Kiddo has a running temperature. Poor thing has been in bed for 2 days now and it kills me to not see him running around and talk non-stop. We have been cuddling a lot and there are some lighter moments here and there too that makes us feel that the clouds will soon clear. He woke up screaming at 1 am today saying that he cannot open his eyes and that they are glued shut. Yes, it was the yellow gooey stuff on his eyes that had hardened. I asked him not to get scared and told him that I will get a wet washcloth, wipe it clean and that everything will be alright. Kiddo got mad at the idea and shouted at me, "no, go get your scissors"! And cut his eyes open?? Uh-huh. Why didnt I think of that?!?!?

Because...

Kiddo has learnt a new word. Becase. And he tries and uses it every time(irrespective of whether its needed). And every time he says something I think it's blogworthy but forget what it was by the time I get around to it. Now I remember one from yesterday. He was crying for nothing(those of you with kids will totally know what I mean!) And I asked him why. He decided to answer with because. I am crying because.. because... (trying to think between sobs) I like to cry! Well, who can argue with that kind of solid logic!!!
