दुम्प Truck

Apparently, he likes dump trucks and construction vehicles. The video speaks for itself:

First time in a swimming pool!

Kavi's first experience in a swimming pool! He was pretty scared at first and started crying, because I was holding him and gradually put him in. Then we took him out and let him just sit on the side and splash the water with his feet. Eventually, we started lowering him, and he was getting excited. But unfamiliar with this whole thing, he bent down and got water in his face and started crying again. So I had to have my hand by his chest at all times to make sure he didn't bend forward.

Then a 6 year old boy and his parents were nice enough to share some toys with him, and they were having a good time until the boy accidentally pulled on the toy while Kavi was holding it, thus splashing his face in the water again.

So, after soothing him, he walked around in the water towards the edge, and just let him observe everything. All in all, it was fun, and a good first experience, it'll keep getting better, and we know he liked it, overall.

This kid of ours

He can make water sprinker sounds...not sure how he figured that one out, but apparently when Mommy makes purring sounds, it prompts him!


And now, some more pictures.

Mommy hydrating the boy -


Maybe the boy can do it himself -


Hey, not bad at all! Here it comes -


Uh-oh! And there it goes -


Oh well! Try again next time -

Toddler

The boy got a new haircut from Mommy, and now looks like Daddy when he was a baby!

Communications

Kavi is definitely in a challenging phase. He can't communicate to us yet what he wants or what is wrong or bothering him. It is frustrating for him, and it is very challenging for us, and we are hearing horror stories from other parents with kids in this age, between 1.5-3...so thank goodness we're not the only ones with this challenge. It can get just downright frustrating. He's happy one second, and literally the next second he's screaming bloody murder!

He wants to do stuff by himself, freaks out when he can't, and freaks out even more when we try to help him.

And he keeps waking up at night screaming and crying for who knows what reason. Teeth coming in? Rash? Snotty nose? School & separation anxiety? Bad dreams?

Today he started full days in daycare. He goes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He did very well today! He only cries when I drop him off, and then the second I disappear, he stops. He cried a little when he went down for his nap (which he does that anyways at home, so no surprise there), and he didn't cry at all when Nisha came to pick him up. I think this will be very very good for him. And, I got a LOT of work done! :)

So here are some videos, of him in his diaper! haha

Here he is bustin' out some dance moves:


Here he is trying to tell me how everything was:


Annnnd, here he is most of the time lately:
