Rohan Reporting

Hi All.. my mummy has been busy since last few weeks and has not blogged about any of my great achievements .. hence I was forced to write this blog! Believe me I don’t understand how can she not document so many of my feats!

So here we go!… You see I am a very very busy boy now! Since 11th September when I took first few tentative steps, there has been no looking back! Now I have to walk and see so many thing!

So my day starts following momma around the house (kitchen –refrigerator , phew! She makes three or four trips back and forth!) while she makes her morning tea (BTW people I , me the little sweet little kid can be made to wait but morning cuppa of tea , nah! momma will not miss it for anything! My daddy tells me its better that way.. it seems momma behaves maha cranky if she doesn’t get her morning or evening tea! That is why I let her have it!). Since she is busy I need something to do , right? So all I ask her is to give the tea leaves jar, the grater on which she grates ginger, the sieve, the stove ligher and if I can really make her understand she even gives me the bournvita jar!

I do all this for her good… but gosh! Women! She tells me that I have strewn all the above on the floor and she has to clear it! Arrey, don’t I let her make her tea and if I take a few things to engage myself in that time what’s her problem man!

You know what’s my favorite part of morning! I tug on momma’s dress and make her pick me up and then I love to watch the tea boiling up in the patili! Its looks so fascinating! And momma does this “ ooo its so hot thing! I love it when she does it! When I smile at that she gives me loads of kisses! And my day starts with a bang!

Then me and mummy sit on the floor! Mummy has her tea and show me the tea cup, she lets me see the tea and sometimes touch the warm tea cup! Hee hee the tea cup makes my hand warm and we both laugh!

After that while mummy is getting things together for my bath, I have to supervise dustbins, washing clothes basket and puja room! Ek jaan sau kaam! I love the small glass and spoon among the puja utensils. I take it around on all my supervisions! Daddy cribs that I leave them on the floor… but again wasn’t it momma’s job to pick up everything from the floor! I am lil boy na, I can’t pick up and clean up! I can only mess around for now! :)

I like to take bath now… but I still don’t like head bath. What I don’t understand is , why should I wash my face everyday.. twice??? I mean it looks perfectly clean and handsome to me( the moot point is “HANDSOME”, just in case you guys didn’t get it!) ! But no momma has to pour water even on my face.. and every 2-3 days she washes my hair… hello my hair look fine.. see they are still black.. and how can you get black dirty???? Someone please someone tell momma.. to leave everything above my shoulders as its is, I let her put soap and water all over otherwise na!And it doesn’t stop at bath… she makes me sit for full 10 minutes at one place to wipe me, then put cream, then talc and then clothes! Phew ! 10 minutes!!!! I could have done so much in 10 minutes instead of sitting at one place. Well I am not given much of a choice, so either I read 5-8 books at one go at that time (by pulling all of them on the bed) or I too ask her to give me cream and talc so I can apply it myself! ( Ek to I want to help and she says “Oh gosh rohan! When somehow without my knowledge the talc jar gets overturned or the cream gets applied on the bedsheet! I don’t do it you see.. the cream and the talc conspire against me!)

Since last few weeks I only eat banana for breakfast.. sitting on my high chair! I don’t like porridge anymore.. finally momma has understood it and stopped trying to force it in my mouth!

After breakfast I go downstairs to play with granny and grandpa! Sometime mummy takes me down , but mostly its daddy. When mommy daddy say “Bye See you!” I know its time to go down! Mommy almost hands me over to daddy with an expression which says “ Just take him down, or somewhere, anywhere!” Ha ha ha ha! You see she reaches her patience limit by the time my morning routine is over! I have no intention of troubling her, I am just trying to teach her the virtue of patience.. which BTW on her admission was not her forte before I was born. Ok now once I reach downstairs, I get to ring the bell., twice! Once granny open the door (99% she is the one who opens the door.. I don’t really understand .. how everyday grandpa gets late!) Everyday I have to knock on the bathroom door to let grandpa know that I have arrived. While he is getting ready me and granny either play inside or we go an sit outside the gate and watch people going around the colony.Once grandpa is ready he takes me around the neighborhood on my tri-cycle.

Now I am not going to bore you on how I come back, and drink my milk and then mommy puts me to sleep! But I am gonna tell you that my momma is learning new rhymes and sings this special one for me while she is putting me to sleep, it goes like this:
We willi winkle
Runs through the town
Upstairs and downstairs In his night gown!
Rapping the window
Crying through the lock
All are children in bedFor it is 8o’clock!
Momma also tells me stories but that depends on how much time she has on her hand to put me to sleep.. and well if I act cranky I tend to get a loud “ROHAN SLEEP NOW!” rather than a story!

When I wake up Mary aunty and me have fun. But I miss momma and daddy! But then by eve daddy is back. Momma comes later than daddy and so for my evening drives its mostly me, grandpa, grandma, and daddy. Sometime daddy doesn’t come.. but I love to go out with grandma and grandpa.. they show me so many things.. and grandpa never puts me down.. :) heee heee.. mummy keeps telling grandpa how he is spoiling me.. but well grandpa says he is enjoying his grandson! (And you see.. who am I to complain!)

Hey did any one of you know what fun it is so stand with your hands on the washing m/c when it spins and rinses… you get to shake! I do it everytime I hear the washing m/c. Even when momma is giving my meal and if washing m/c is running.. she puts me down from the high chair and I stand with my palms on the sides of the m/c. You see the m/c is taller than me … well for now! I will catch up soon!

I have 12 animal toys.. I can recognize all .. but I always forget which one is the antelope.. why cant it have an easier name!

Momma bought mickey mouse sweater for me... but its so warm.. i dont feel so cold.. in the morning the jacket my shoma mausi gave is nice and warm before momma gives me bath! There is another jacket which gitika mausi gave.. i prefer that too a sweater since its open in the front.. but mamma was mumbling " Grandpa wants him to wear sweater and this fellow doesnt let me put it! Bah! " ( do all mothers mumble??? why are they so jobless!!!)

Since two days momma has been giving me chavanya parash.. funny taste.. but for now i am enjoying!!!

Hey this is the best one.. mamma got me a bed sheet with sooooooooo many teddy bears... i loved it.. i carried it around the whole house.. she has washed it and today the dhobi took it for ironing.. i think she will put it on my bed tomorrow!!!!

I think my mamma is very very smart.. you see i say that because whenever i go near the dustbin to pick up something she says " Zillion times i have told you not to pick up stuff from the dustbin!!"... she knows counting till zillion and keep a track of how many times she has told me this.. she must be smart!!
I try my luck by doing things that mamma or daddy say no to... mamma keeps saying no rohan, oddu rohan , nako rohan ... heee heee .... but at time she shouts a BIG NO... and eeks i scramble then.. but mostly i see her smiling after that... heee hee i know the danger has passed!

Ok enough of reporting now... i will be back if mamma again doesnt find time!
Love u all and thanks for all your blessings!
