Today is Vk’s star birthday and like every other mom I am going to say I can’t believe how quickly the 2 years have passed. We are planning on a party for his date of birth. However I don’t want this day to go unnoticed. Below are the pictures taken this morning wearing his new clothes!!!

He is growing up really quickly now... I am not able to catch up to his speed. I keep planning to write VK updates and even before I start to type it out, he had outgrown it and has been replaced by something else.He now knows number from 1-50, A-Z, can identify colours, shapes and is starting to speak 2-3 word sentences. I might be sounding proud but genuinely I don’t know what next from here. I just keep thinking I need to feed his quest for knowledge but am not sure what to do. On the other hand I also keep telling myself that he is still a baby and I shouldn’t force him. Not that I do it now. (All that he has learnt is completely because of his interest). Reading books are not working out as he doesn’t seem to have the patience for it. Anyone with ideas please let me know.
VK has also been falling sick quite often. We have been visiting the doctor every week for the last 2 months. It was the cold, eye infection and fever going on in circles. We have broken this vicious cycle this week (anti-jinx!!! touch wood!!).I sincerely hope and pray that they don’t recur again as giving him medication is the hardest bit and I don’t have any more patience for it.
My Mom used to say “you will understand when you are a mother” in a lot of instances. I have always laughed it off! However I take it all back now. The last 2 years of motherhood has given a new meaning to this sentence and can completely relate to it. Thank you God for giving me the opportunity to be a mother and am more than happy to be the Amma to this cuddly, cute, loving, adorable, intelligent, happy toddler.

Belated happy birthday! VK sounds like a real smart kid...and u're nurturing his interests just fine.
Some kids take a longer time to warm up to books, I was in despair over Dhruv...he rewarded me by getting obsessed with books suddenly at age 3.75! Now he wants 3-4 books read to him every night, several more in the day, and sleeps with his fave books! VK's time will come!
As far as I know, following their interest is the best way...but I've gotten smart abt coupling his interest (cars n construction) and fave cartoon characters with what I want him to learn! so jigsaw puzzles, educational DVD's, art n activity books are all selected with themes! It works!
