Nidhi now understands that "some more " means she can have more of what she wants. We hear a lot of requests for "some more this" and "some more that" several times a day. "mess" is what gets created when she is eating. "mummy cap" and "daddy cap" is request for appreciation (clap) when she does something praiseworthy. When daddy leaves the home he is going to "ofees", on a "train". On the days when he hasnt gone to "ofees" he goes "jaudding" (jogging).
She speaks so many distinct words now that it is hard for me to keep up. Several of them have funny pronunciations and she can get very frustrated if I dont understand what she is saying, as she has to repeat herself over and over. Today she kept going "sort..sort.." in the kitchen and I kept guessing smoke, steam, sand, until realisation finally dawned with "salt".
We had a day out in Finsbury park couple of weeks ago when she finally overcame her unease with sand. Until then she hated walking on it. At the sand pit in the park I showed her how she could fill the sand in a cup and pour it out, and then she was completely into it for hours. Getting her out of the sandpit when it was time to leave was a big struggle for mummy. Fortunately she is still quite easy to distract and settles quickly.
Nidhi turns one and a half today.
