I'd heard that toddlers sleep-talk and was curious to know if San would do it too. She sensed my curiosity, I guess, and did it last week. Her first sleepy words were: "Mommy? Baby!" Did she see a baby in her dreams or is something else that triggers this cute sleep-talk? I wonder. :-)
Girly tantrums, ah! I didn't know that they start so early! Fluttering their eyelashes like the old Bollywood heroines, giving the cutest smile ever, saying the sweetest 'Mommy' and 'Papa' ever, and even ignoring us are some tricks they use to divert our attention when we scold them. God know where they learn it all from!
But at the same time, they are hard-workers! At least at this age, when they've freshly learned how to cleanup. :-) As soon as San hears the word 'clean', she goes running into the kitchen and comes back with the broom and the dustpan, and then goes on a cleaning spree! That's the 'awwww' moment for me. :-) And the best part is to see the sense of achievement reflecting on her face, when we compliment her for her work. These things make my day, just everyday!
