Tell Me WHY?

The most frequently asked question by Sean is WHY. Anything we talk to him about, his immediate question is ‘Why Mamma/Dada?’ He seems to have a very curious mind and sometimes I have to really scratch my mind to explain something in his terms. It’s a fact that he has gotten both me and aji to be very careful about what/how we speak because most often he will reuse them in his conversations. This also means that we’ve been scrambling online to read up on a lot of topics, the one that jumps out is a lot of space related stuff due to his immense interest now regarding Astronauts and the Space shuttle. The other day we were in the car and it was about 7pm. The skies were clear and the moon was out. As soon as we pulled out of our drive way he saw the moon through his window and said ‘I see the moon’. We drove further down and made couple of lefts and rights and this time he spotted the moon from Rhea’s window and he said ‘There’s another moon. There are lots of moons!’ We explained to him that there is only one moon but since its up in the sky we can see it from anywhere. Its moments like those that I try to think if I’ve given him enough information or should I have told him more, like for instance how the moon revolves around the earth and so on and so forth? What I’ve realized by now though is that its always better keep things simple and appropriate for his age and save the details for later.

Sean is such a caring and passionate kid and I’m not saying it because he’s my lil one. However i do admit, i'm a little bit biased. Often at times he will hug me and give me a kiss on my cheeks and say ‘I love you’. He does the same with Aji and Rhea and with Achachan and Mummy when they were here. It is such an awesome feeling and I just want to hug him and not let go. The other day Daddy and Mummy stepped out to go for a walk and Sean said to them, ‘Appacha, Ammachi be careful. Don’t fall’. Also, occasionally when Rhea cries while I’m fixing her milk he’ll get very upset and he’ll say to me, ‘Mamma, baby is crying. I think so she needs milk’ and then he’ll go to Rhea and say ‘Baby, don’t cry baby, mamma is getting your milk Ok’.

Seany, you are such a sweet heart!! I love you kutta!
