Me as a toddler...

Hi Friends, its been a while I posted in this blog. I am now a solid 2 years 7 months old toddler into full actions. I have now my strong likes and dislikes. Let me tell you what I like the most. To play, play and only play at home with my mom and dad (when he is home). Yes, you heard it right, I dont like playing with anyone else!! I like to go to the park, I like to swing, I like to do crayon, activities and I constantly chatter. My vocabulary is strong now. I can talk in two langages. When I realize people are not understanding my oriya, I switch to fluent Bengaly. I also understand some english, like yes, no, come, sit etc. and possibly some hindi too...

Among my dislikes, the foremost is to do potty, followed by getting a shampoo done, a bath and going to school. So far the friction with my mom has been on the above mentioned items. Otherwise, I am a good toddler. I dont break anything, I dont tear books ( I used to do that when I was much younger - not any more), I dont  throw things, bite, scratch or pull hair and the list is long. However, what I do is cry loudly when things are not my way. My mom is strong she does not yield to my cries, so I have to mellow down like a wise kid. After all it is my loss...

I prefer to eat in my hands many times - although to the horror of my mom that I will spill things. After food I keep the empty plates on the table. I remove my shoes after entering into the house. Most imporantly for the last one month, I am off the diaper. I dont wet bed any more and always tell before I need to go to bathroom.

I somehow dont like to do potty, so I hide it many times and my mom is frustrated about it. Hey I am still a toddler, so I have my likes and dislikes. I dont like to get shampoo done because I fear water will enter my eyes, so also taking bath - I am not sure why though. I used to love taking bath few months back, but suddenly something has changed. Probably I am linking it to unpleasant event such as going to school. Now there is a trade of. Every morning during the working days also I negotiate with my mom to take me to park if I take  a bath. I know my mom gets very tired and stressed out, but cant do it otherwise -  am still a toddler.
