Ashwin has entered that adorable phase, where he pretends to bathe and feed his toys! he cooks and cooks and then stuffs the whole plate in our faces!
plus he likes having two of everything
he carries two lions and roars menacingly at us (okay, it's not in the least menacing - its totally cute and adorable)
he is incredibly attached to this pair of sheep, a big one and a little one - and if he only has one and not the other, he bursts into anxious cries - give the missing one back to him and he breaks out in laughs and smiles - so adorable!
he loves music - sits down quietly and listens to practically a whole cd of kids songs - takes my finger to the radio to ask me to replay a particular favourite like London Bridge or Wheels on the Bus
he can communicate his wants and feelings quite clearly now - wa wa for water, emphatic shakes of the head if he doesn't want any milk, saying Enuf, when he's full - booku booku when he wants us to read to him - he's a dream and a joy
part of me feels a little guilty though - our helper, Run is really competent when it comes to looking after him plus she loves him, so I sometimes feel I'm only caring for Akshaya and Ashwin is kind of just growing up on his own! I bathe Akshaya, oversee her meals, put her to bed etc - for Ash, run feeds him, changes him, bathes him, puts him to bed... sigh.
