appA, ammA and I started watching "Life of birds" documentary. I love to watch duckies, crows and swan in our apartment complex. I was excited to see so many different birds on T.V. that I could not help myself. Imagine this scene for yourself
pAdukA - wow wow wow! duckie duckie appA
appA - correct pAdukA, duckie
pAdukA - duckie ammA
ammA - duckie, very good pAdukA
15 seconds later
pAdukA - wow wow (standing right in front of appA) simmy simmy simmy (swimming in adult language)
appA - yes... duckie swim pannaradhu (duckie is swimming)
appA and ammA concentrating hard on the narration in the documentary inspite of funny noises pAdukA is making.
pAdukA - jalam jalam ammA, jalam (water)
ammA - yes pAdukA jalam dhaan
pAdukA - duckie duckie (looking at some other bird)
ammA - duckie illa
pAdukA - duckie simmy simmy
ammA - illa....
appA - you both won't let us watch.
19 seconds later
pAdukA - wow wow wowow (dancing in front of the T.V.) kAkA kAkA... whoosh whoosh (showing flying action)
appA - very good pAdukA
pAdukA - ber ber ber (pronounced as "bir" in bird)
ammA and appA doing their best to ignore pAdukA's constant commentary and to concentrate on the documentary
pAdukA - duckie duckie duckie aaah? no no no no?
pAdukA - ber ber ber
appA - shhhh..... be quiet
pAdukA - simmy simmy... no no uh?
pAdukA's constant onslaught continues....
ammA has already given up trying to see the documentary
ammA - can we watch later?
pAdukA - shhhhh.. (with finger on her lips) duckie duckie appa appA .... huh?
appA - ok let's watch this some other time..
switches off
pAdukA - aachi... (meaning over)
..... and so we watched a documentary together :)

chooooooll
I am becoming a big girl now.... so big that ammA and I are going to the same school together! Here is a peep into my activities at school....
I enter the class and I have to find my spot in front of an easel and hold on to it inspite of other kids. I spend about 20 minutes creating my art.
Then it is time to play in and with sand. I am getting introduced to grabbing and running away with shovels and a dumptruck while playing. It's getting hard for me to play with the things I have after knowing that the kid near me has the same toy in a different color. Oh! little does ammA know how hard it is to cope with this !
I have to tell you about this funny pracitice during circle time - we are given bells and flags that we have to return. I am pretty much the only kid who protests on behalf of everyone. Surprisingly no one has joined me and the other kids give back these things voluntarily. If you have to get it from me, you are not getting it without a fight!
I love snack time. We are given crackers, fruit and water in a small cup. I enjoy drinking water from the cup and eating crackers of the kid who sits next to me. ammA keeps saying that I have the same on my plate. If that is so, why can't I have the crackers from the other kid's plate? I don't understand the logic!
Overall I enjoy my time at school. It's a lot of fun interacting with kids and doing so many activities. What is my ammA doing at school apart from following me everywhere I go? I have to attend child-teacher-association meeting to know if she is doing OK at school :)
