Color colors ever where !!! With the monsoon and rain pouring in, It's a season of umbrella everywhere and it was like a fascination for me. Where ever saw someone carrying an umbrella, I just happen to give a shout umbena umbena umbena!! ...its umbrella in my language !!zing!! and its an indication that I also want one of my own :)

 
This monsoon is special though this is my 2nd monsoon but this the one where I got to know rain. And where ever I traveled during this period it was all awesome experience.. be it Mumbai, kerala or for that matter the vacation to Puri with my mom and dad , I got to see colorful umbrellas everywhere.
 

Under the umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh).

I really loved this season where your can run into your loved ones arms and stay close under these colorful umbrellas.. its time where the emotions run higher than weather.

Though ignored for a long time but finally I got my own umbrella which my mom got during one of her shopping spear for me. I personally feel if you love rain you should not be holding an umbrella, but with all this fairy tale colors spread on it….  I just want someone to hold for me and be under it to enjoying the rains.
 

My Own Hello Kitty Umbrella

I can’t believe when my dad told that some 30-40 years back it use to be only black and no colors added to umbrella… thankfully that’s not the case now. With all the colors added it makes the rain bit more pleasant, with our lovely Umbrellas spread in all shapes, sizes and colors!!

With rains getting over in Mumbai, I will wait for next monsoon to be back with lot more color's in life.

Love you all!!! Happy Monsoon

These days the only thing I do is talking..talking and talking. People around me looks amazed, happy and confused most of the time :) but some times I too get confused and think if at all they are getting my point and what i want to say. Its a enjoyable  transformation and the point is when I can pick up things from all then others should also be ready to learn my language…

During the initial first year it was countless ba-ba-ba’s and ma-ma-ma’s but now now i have started repeating words thrown on me and the next challenge was to form my own full sentence..And the first came by calling my mom and ask her to put on my favorite night time CD. People around was so thrilled that they didn't allow me to sleep

I am doing good on the learning front as i have also started answering the phone, which is sometimes my toy phone, sometimes house phones and sometimes i use my hand, and carry on a full conversation with wrong nos off-course. Soon i am planning to give my house nos to all my friends as dad has refused to get me a cell..

Me and My Doggy

Waiting for the day when others understand my language and give me what i ask for :) But its ok as its only humans who make mistakes and parents are also human...... i can manage for some more time!!! For now i have my daily conversation with my friend doggy and elephant and have a gala time with sharing our chit chat..

The most favorite word used is No... and i use while shopping too and that's when my mom gets frustrated and my dad supper happy...Dont know the reason yet!!

Hearing your toddler talk in her own language is an incredible, amazing thing to watch as a parent. I am ok with the pace its going right now, people think parents should instantly know what baby need. The bridge to the communication is trust the child have with the parents. Just picking up when they cry will let her know that you're there and can believe in you. And with the time just like with any relationship, you and your baby will get to know each other really well and will not need any translators in between :)

Your baby will learn to talk with you and this is the beginning of your baby learning to talk. By responding to your baby's needs when she cries, you show that you have heard her and that matters.

According to me if parents are having trouble getting through to their child, they are talking to their kids but are not really listening to them. And they wonder why the kid is not responding. As we all know Communication is a two way stream and it applies to kids too. Before we can expect our kids to listen to us, we must first learn to listen to them. Keeping your child involved is very important. 

Listening to your child’s point of view not only shows that you care, it also shows that you respect them. And this mean to them that their opinion is important.

The most important things in helping children learn to talk is to have frequent, friendly conversations with them. These conversations do not have to be long or meaningful the goal is to keep your child interacting with you using any words they can..... Keep going is the only advice and enjoy each and every second
