vaya vaya vaya :)

A scene from my exciting life. None of the characters are fictional. Any similarity/resemblance to the babies/kid you know is intentional :) So enjoy reading the fun we are having.
For the readers convenience, I have translated dialogues from our (baby) language to the language adults speak :)


Kesavan : Lakshya vaya vaya vaya . .

Paaduka : wuaaa... Some royalty should be coming..

Lakshya : Drr.. grr... There is a doll moving there. I have to check it out

Paaduka : Aaaw.. I am no doll. You can't poke at my eye. Well now, you can't drum on my head

Lakshya : aaar.. this is so much fun

Paaduka : aaeee, innguu, aaa

Lakshya : drr.. brr.... brrr.. oh you talk !

Paaduka : hhhaa..ii.. I talk and respond but people around smile and think it is funny. Atlast someone understands me !

Lakshya : Oh.. I know. They don't understand us. So, you should be a baby like me. awwwoo..

Lakshya : aaa.. grbrr.. I did wait for a while for people to understand me but from the time I started moving, I have been doing fun things keeping my parents on their toes.

Lakshya : There are so many delicious electric wires hanging in your house. What are you doing lying on your back? brrr aaa

Paaduka : Aaooo.. I have been trying hard to roll over for the past week. But my head wouldn't stay in place without support.

Lakshya : aawwu... Then you are a "kutti papa". Call me "akka"

Paaduka : tchh tchhh..orr.. tchhh

Lakshya : What is this that you are doing?

Paaduka : hmmm.. hmm.. delicious.. my thumb... sweetest thing...

Lakshya : Better than wires brrbrrr... no way

Kesavan : Suddha brahma payaapaya yaam...

Paaduka : hmmm... ammm...

Kesavan : Maami paayu... Paaduka is trying to turn. Come on buddy!

Paaduka : hmm.. haaaww My head is not easy to lift and awww.. my hand is stuck. But wait... There it is. My thumb. tchh mchh mch.. tasty

Kesavan : Paaduka veyal chaapayaa. hahaha

After a few hours . . .

Lakshya : aaww brr.. My Amma has buckled me in the car seat so, Paaduka, we are going home. Hey, what are you doing?

Paaduka : hmmm.. amm.. aaa

(Cheering and excitement all around)

Paaduka : What did I do? Why are things looking different now? Why is everyone so excited?

Lakshya : Brr.. drrrr... yay ! You rolled over! Do it once more

Paaduka : That's hard work for the day hhhaai.. some one help me please inngaaa....

Lakshya : zzz....zzz... Don't worry you will be picked up.
Ok, good night. Bye Paaduks will see you soon.

Paaduka : uuwaa huyu.. I will keep practising to roll over and soon I will start to move around. It will be fun when Kesavan says "vaya vaya vaya" when I come near him :)
