Amma's back

Ammama was feeding me my milk when I saw my Amma standing at the gate. I knocked away the milk bottle and screamed in joy. "Amma......where did you go?!!""

Amma carried me and kissed me and told me that she missed me. Yes, Amma, I missed you too....

I told Amma how well Appa took care of me when she went away.....Appa taught me how to play catch with the ball......and now I've become Appa's pet......

Amma, watch, I can walk even faster now. I can turn while standing and not land on my bumsy.

I love you Amma. *** SMILE****SMILE**** SMILE***

The Avasaram Baby

I can walk......maybe I can't balance as well.....but I DEFINITELY can walk.

I walk quickly and fast...too fast because I'm excited.

I walk too fast and then I trip and fall. But after my fall, I SMILE at everyone and stand again. And before long, I'm walking again.

On Fevers and Rashes

Amma told me today that I was not well the past whole week. She said I had the fever. I think I undertsand what she's saying because I wasn't feeling too good the whole of the past week. I did not want to eat, and my body ached continously. All I wanted to do was sleep. Amma kept wiping me with cold water and I cried and cried because it was cold.

The only good thing about having the fever is I got to sleep on the big, big bed with my Amma and my Appa for the whole week.

**********************************

My fever's all gone now, Amma said, but I've got the rashes. What's rashes Amma? As if she understood my question, Amma showed me my leg and I smiled at her. Amma's playing with my leg, I think to myself. Amma ruffles my hair. Amma's baby, she tells me. I smile at her again. I babble back to her.

I go about my play as usual, completely unaffected by the 'rashes'.
