I can't believe how little I have posted about Ari as compared to Nidhi. How little time and energy I have at the end of the day for even checking emails. I just long to finish work and hit the bed, struggle to keep my eyes open to read a book even. Ah, may be just a phase.
Ari is definitely becoming more communicative now and I can even have little conversations with him. Although, most times it takes a few goes before I can understand what he says.
He has this funny habit of attributing random names to things he doesn't know the name of. Oh dear, can't remember any of them now, but they give me a good laugh.
Today at bedtime, we were saying prayers. Mostly I pray about his day for him. He always agrees to sing a few worship songs and say prayers as he sees it as part of his bedtime routine. (I wish he considered brushing his teeth as part of the routine too!). So I was being thankful for the wonderful weather we had today, and his friend coming over to play, when Ari coughed a couple of times and then said 'pray for my cough'. I had been praying about this the last few days since he was having a cold but it was not on my mind today.
At the park the other day, when he was swung unexpectedly high on the tyre swing he remarked 'Oh, I wasn't expecting that.' He still quotes from programs he watches on youtube, but at apt times.
