Today, on the eve of you turning fifteen months of age, my mind easily goes to all the wonderful, adorable things you have all of a sudden shown us you are capable of. And if I reflect on how I felt waaay back when you were all of five months old – when your father would bring you to me at the office to nurse, and how I told my work colleague Rasha that I could not love this baby more than I do now – well I think I am bursting with a love that has struck me dumb! For every action, reaction and gesture that comes from you is nothing short of brilliant and charming to me!
Darling child, here are a few of your noteworthy accomplishments:
- Mastered waving “bye-bye”
- Points to the moon, the stars when asked
- Calls out ‘Bubbles’ and ‘Bubblebath” when I summons you to take a bath. In fact you toddle into the bathroom when I call out ‘bunyo’ (bathtime)
- Correctly identifies bear, rabbit, fox, seahorse, dog among your stuffed animals
- Points to carpet, door, curtains when I ask which is which
- Enjoys putting square peg in square hole, and the same for triangle and round pegs
- Uses the telephone to place to ear and babble ‘hallo’
- Holds out an arm for a sleeve and a foot for a sock (though you hate with a passion being changed!)
- Favourite word is definitely ‘bala” and ‘ball’ and uses this interchangeably
- Favourite thing is ‘balloon’ and points excitedly when you see one
- Enjoys filling and emptying containers
- Insists on ‘mixing’ your heated lunch/dinner with a spoon/any utensil directly in the pan I cooked from, while I feed you in the high chair
- Recognizes what objects are used for – fave being the broom (sweeping floors to boot)
- Identifies favourite body parts quickly: nose and pouli! Then you go about playing with the latter, laughing mischievously!!
