The tale of my last diaper...
Dear Bumi Matha,
At the start of the second year and fourth month of my life, I completely stopped using diapers and Amma bought me my first leopard undies.
A few days later, Rita Attai bought me two Dalmation undies, and now I know that I am a ‘big’ boy!

Sakkti Velan's first hospitalisation
On the 27th of October, I was hospitalized for food poisoning.
I’m not sure what I ate, and nor was Amma, but the doctor put me on drips for four long hours. Amma was so proud of me because each time I wanted to vomit, I could tell her, and she would rush me into the toilet so I could throw up. She said not many children my age could tell when they felt like vomiting….. (beaming)
I did not cry when the doctor administered the drips, nor did I cry when he took the needle out, but I was very uncomfortable the whole time the drips were on my hands.
I kept asking Amma to take them out, but she refused. I even asked Tata and Ammama to take it out but they told me other stories to divert my attention away from it.
I couldn’t eat for two whole days after the drips, and Amma was worried sick.
But I’m okay now, so now more worries, Amma….

I want my PUTING!
Eshvarhen is using a puting and so is Jeethendra, SO why can’t I???
In October 2009, a few months after I completely let go of my pacifier, I resumed the “addiction”. When I will stop it again, is a story for another day……….

The Arrival of Thambi
I did not see Amma before she left to the hospital, but for two whole days, Appa kept me company.
Until today…..when Amma came home….with another baby!
I know this baby was supposed to be Thambi, so I gave one of the two tiny baby dolls I was holding in my hand to Thambi. Thambi was fast a sleep, and completely unresponsive. How boring.
I wanted Amma to carry me, but she was holding Thambi, and so Appa carried me.
When Amma went up to the room to feed Thambi, I knew I had to be there, or else, Amma might just forget about me……..

An entry by Amma
Darling Sakkti Velan,
Amma is logging down all your developments here since your last entry, since you’re doing so many new things everyday, I’m afraid that I’ll forget all your little milestones before this month is over.
It’s August 2009, and since March this year, Amma has observed a tremendous amount of development in your vocabulary, understanding and play. Perhaps, what amazes me the most is your imagination….
You’re now 11kg and 87 cm. Each time we take you to the hospital (you should know that you’re very prone to the viral flu that we make a trip to the hospital once a month at least), you amaze the nurses with your willing cooperation to stand on the weighing scale and allowing your height to be taken. Perhaps you amazed your paediatrician the most, when you patiently asked for a different colour jelly instead of the one he offered you!
You can now say, very clearly, the numbers 1-20. Appa endlessly tries to teach you your ABCs, but you should know that you’re being very un-cooperative in that area. You are able to recognise all relationships with peoples, even those of our friends whom you call Uncle and Aunty, and I think everyone adores you all the more for it.
You sing very well, darling, and you also sing along to the music on the radio, even though we don’t know what it is you are actually singing then. You sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, and cut your own imaginary birthday cake (after blowing your own imaginary candles) each time you sing Happy Birthday. I know a lot of people won’t believe this, but you also sing along with Amma when I sing you the Bhajans to put you to sleep.
You now occasionally turn into an imaginary puppy, and you like to crawl while going about the house, barking. Sometimes, you pull off the table cloth from the coffee table, gallantly declare, “Woof Woof Come” and then become this imaginary puppy.
You’re terribly addicted to television, although, in your words, “TV’ actually means cartoon. It safe to say that we are currently having a problem trying to convince you to switch channels, but we do anyway, and when we do, you always complain.
Your favourite toy at the moment is your colouring book, and a set of Animal Dominoes you Periamma Sherlin bought you. And, son, you love playing with dolls. Appa does not encourage it, but I see no harm in playing with the doll. It will only help you prepare for the forthcoming of Thambi.
Of course you know there’s a Thambi in Amma’s belly, but Amma’s not sure how your actual reaction will be like. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see when Thambi actually comes home from the hospital.

LEGO!
Amma bought me my first LEGO Blocks set today, and Appa and I spent our time building the TALLEST builing ever.
I just kept stacking the blocks higher, and higher and higher......until i felt that I had to destry the tower by punching it down....hehehe....
Bet my Appa was more proud of me for destroying the tower with my strong fists, rather than for my impressive contruction skills......

Beautiful Face...and Stomach...and Nose...
At this stage of my life, Amma says I can point to my eyes, nose, ears, mouth, teeth ( I can even show you how I brush my teeth) and I can point to my stomach.
Did you know that I can also blow my nose when Mina Pathi tells me to?
*Snort..sniff***
