I have a lil sweetheart next door. A very cute darling. My 1 and half year old kid neighbor. He is like those kids you see in the Johnson’s baby advts. Absolutely cute. I call him bubbles / bubble gum cause he is like one! Chubby cheeks, rosy lips and yes dimple cheeks.
My mum talks to him in Malayalam, even though he is from a gujju family. The kid understands quite a few things in Malayalam too. If you ask him “Amamma aavide” (where is nani) he will point to mum say “aada” (there she is). For him “kaka” mean crow (in Malayalam) and not uncle.
Every morning he comes home before I leave for work and the moment he comes I put down everything and start playing wit him. I am told that after I go he sits down to play with my lipsticks, liners and makeup stuff and also my bangles.
The guy learns new trick every single day. His latest is “pretend” cry. He will lie down on the floor, put his hands on his eyes and make noises pretending to cry. I am sure his mum going to have a great time when he grows up.
My floor is a mini play school. There is one more kid but she goes to nursery so I get to meet that one only on weekend. She is not as “nautanki” as this one though.
Whatever it is – this two make my day every single day. The lovely and adorable stress busters!
