Social Acivities

Like in one of the earlier posts, I saying this again...am a friendly toddler. In my opinion all the people in the world are one happy family and should talk to each other. I apply this philosophy when I step out...wait...not when I step...even before... at home..We have a domestic maid who is my favorite...as soon as she comes in...my activites include following her..as she sweeps and swabs the house ...washes the clothes and hangs them..I have a conversation with her everyday in our secret language. When I step out I have to talk to everybody. The neighbours door has only to be open for me to rush there and play with the two kids. Today Grandma had to get a wailing me back home from the neighbours. In the evenings I take my Mama and grandparents out to the little play area in our apartment..so far I have two friends there... boys aged 3 and 4. They both have cycles. Our activites include...me running after the two boys riding their cycles. Little girls come to me and ask me a lot of questions, for now I am asking Mama to answer simple things like my name and age. Other wise I have a lot to say.

Kitchen- my favorite place in the house

I am very fond of the kitchen. I find too many things to play with here. My all time favorite is the cooker.When the cooker is on the gas with the whistle on...i say something like phssssh...which is my imitation of the whistle blowing. everytime I spot the cooker with the whistle anywhere.... I go phssssh...even a picture of the cooker will do.....or the cooker advertisement on TV. Sometimes I turn the cooker upside down on the kitchen floor and climb on it to watch what is happening on the kitchen platform. I reach for several objects within my reach...knives, mixer jars and the like I dont touch because I know they are sharp...'shap' as I say it..The refrigerator has only to be opened for me to rush to it...I pull out the vegetables..which I like playing with. The other day I carried a long shirale all the way home from the vendor.

Getting on top of things.

I have learned to climb. This is my current favorite activity. I can climb on to the sofa to watch TV. I can climb on the dining chair to get on to the dining table. Usually I attempt the dining chair and table when Mama is having one of her meals for the day. I like to observe what she has and occasionally play with the food on her plate.I am not allowed to do this though..so I do it very quickly when no one is looking. The other day I dipped my little palm on the sauce in Mama plate and my Mama just let me indulge. Soon both my hands, my clothes, my mouth had sauce all over. Coming back to climbing, I get on top of stools, my grandparents bed and the like quite easily. I have also learnt that these can serve as props to reach even higher. I climb on my Mama's knees when I want her to pick me up.I have also tried climbing on a perfectly round ball...many times. This is not all on climbing....whats more...I can get off stools, sofas, chairs...easily as well!!
