Angel Speaks...

.. and does not stop :) She loves to talk, so much that there are times when I have to literally beg her to stop.. And when she does not talk, she expects me to talk.

This is primarily because I have talked (and still do) so much to her. Now basically, I am a quiet person. I don't like much talking and I need some quiet time in a day, while Angel is just the opposite.

Below are a few excerpts from our day to day conversations:

She was asking me one fine morning, that where is chhota chate(its a powder which aids digestion in children) ka dabba?

I told her to find it out on her own as she had took it the previous night. She was not in the mood so was insisting that I find it for her, to which I politely declined.

Angel : Mumma is a good girl. Mumma will find it :D :D

She sure knows maskabaazi !

***

I was telling her to out of the tub after her bath.

Angel : Angel will do chhap chhap in the tub first and after that will come with you (She refers to herself in third person)

Similarly, when grandma is in a hurry to take her to the park and she is peeing,

Angel : Angel is peeing, grandma wait

My yet to be 2 year old toddler know to be assertive!

***

We had gone to a birthday party and she got a return gift – a compass box in a fancy polythene

Angel : What is this?(That's her favorite phrase these days)

Me: Its a polythene

Angel : No, what is this?

Me : Its the handle of the polythene (for the lack of better word)

Angel : Just like the handle in my cycle

She retains things and connects them J

JN is here these days.

She asked me whether I have washed her hair that day. Since there were unseasonal showers, I hadn’t and I replied to her that since the climate is not good, I haven’t. Angel was there listening and said : Even Angel does not like climate.(Without having the slightest hint on what climate is) :D

She sure is mumma's girl!

Our maid comes twice, once in the morning for washing clothes and later to do the dishes.

When she came the next time, you said, "Fir se aa gai”

Next day, “Baar baar aa gai” :D :D:D

***

On 29/5/2014 morning the first thing she said after waking up “Ab 14 june oj ka bday aa gaya “ :D (I assume she was dreaming about her birthday)

I asked : What will you do on your bday?

Angel : Angel will cut the cake with the knife, pink knife no blue knife, dark blue

I will have to arrange a dark blue knife for the cake cutting J

We had a trip to Wayanad with my SIL and family. On our last day, she did not want to come back. “Wayanad me hi rehna hai, isi room me” is what she kept on saying

***

Few days back when I was bathing in the morning, she was vehemently knocking the door and shouting, “Angel's mumma, please come out “

It made my day!

***

She has found out a new, innovative(even if I say so myself) way of making me understand what she is saying.

Few days back, after our dinner, we were having a walk. We were as usual chatting, when all of a sudden she uttered something which sounded like "Cha-do". I was like "Kya doon","Play dough" and a few unsuccessful attempts to decode what she said. Now the thing is, she does not give up, and nor do I. So she pointed at something and asked me, "What's this?"

It was a shadow. And that was what she meant!

She is fascinated by shadows. Next came, "Baun" and I was clueless again. So she asked me, "What's the colour of this shadow?"

So any guesses on what she meant!! :)
