Peesh and Goflish

The little one is talking and learning a gillion words a day.

She was pointing to the baby animals book and saying Peesh, Peesh , Goflish..

I thought Peesh was fish and Goflish was Goldfish, but Peesh actually turned out to be Sheep in disguise!

She is now talking sentences (not the Deda Nu Cheeesse stuff), but actual three four word sentences.

She has also learnt to "lie"!!!

Yesterday she acted as though she had hurt herself after falling on the carpet, was rubbing her knee and crying. For some reason, the crying was just not genuine enough and then suddenly her crying turned to laughter and she looked at me and said "lie"!

Guess even at 20 months a kid can grasp the concept of deception and lies. I told her not to tell lies again and she goes "Okay"!

I am scared.

She is growing up..Experimenting. The right and the wrong..!

She has worked on you for sometime now. Now, its time for you to return the favour...!

Teaching her the difference between right & wrong
Appreciating the benefits of the right..
The importance of being earnest..

Dont worry !! From whatever you have shared thus far...I can already see her making you proud of her

Saying peesh is cute.. i suppose all the girls grow same.. One of my friend's daughter also says peesh...

These little kids are smart, but may be she needed your attention so she cried.. don't be scared!!

Kavi, welcome back to the blogspace..

I think she figured out this lie thing on our recent mono lake trip.

she realized that everytime she said "aayi" or "poo poo" daddy would drive frantically to find the nearest rest area or parking to check on her diaper. everytime, I check she would refuse to go back into the car seat. she also learnt that saying "paal" or "milk" would get the same response from mommy..Mommy would promptly be pleased with her daughter who actually is expressing an interest to eat or drink anything at all and promptly release her from the carseat only to see the little one clench the bottle with her teeth.

it was probably developed as a car seat evading survival skill !!

we are working on it.

:)

Swatantra, thanks.
