My sweetie, cutie pie, darling, honey, sweet heart, little princess Chinni wakes up in the morning and screams "pappaaa, papppppaa, pappa.....". And guess what ? I am in bathroom taking shower. What to do ?
Another addiction
Chinni gets addicted, to anything, so soon. I am much worried about it. Hoping she doesn't get addicted to shopping!!! As of now, the latest addiction is her video itself. Have a glimpse of it. We had been to Bangalore Central just before my travel to HK. While Nanda was busy picking up dresses, Chinni enjoyed the songs played shaking her legs and I was busy videoing her!
Enjoy the video.
Mispronunciation
Have you heard children mispronounce ? It's very cute, however wrong they are. Chinni also mispronounce many words. She has a big difficulty when is comes to phone, photo, fan, fish and other words starting with "fa". She pronounces as "shone", "shoto", "shan", "sish" and we laugh like anything. Some times we too refer phone as shone.
And also she can't say TV. With ease she utters TD. However and whatever it is, we love the way she speaks and pronounces them rightly or wrongly. After all, who is perfect ?

ಬವ್ವಾ ಬಂತು
Children don't sleep in a normal way. You got to make them sleep by telling stories, singing songs or a habit of its own. There are situations when they are scared to go to sleep or the evil would come, pick her and go away. Getting scared to this evil, ಬವ್ವಾ in kannada language, they pretend to sleep. The most amazing part is when they pretend, after some time they are asleep. Wish elders could have this characteristics.
Chinni is no different in her sleeping habit. Its been very difficult to make her sleep. When she was aged between 6 months - 1 year, that was the hardest time. It was nearly impossible she would sleep as per our convenience. Now she has normalized a lot. But the struggle still exist and the only way left out is to scare her a bit. So the lights are off, she has gulped a bottle of milk, the phone is singing rhymes and Chinni's eyes are still wide open. Inviting ಬವ್ವಾ is the last resort left. She sleeps after scrolling over ammi and pappa couple of times.
But there are times when even this last resort doesn't work. Chinni tells us "ಬವ್ವಾ ಬಂತು, ಮಕ್ಕೋ" (the evil has come sleep). We should pretend that we are afraid and sleep!!!
