A month late but here it is!
This month has honestly been the month of the whinge! And I think the root cause of it is Arjun’s frustration in not being able to communicate fully yet. Although his speech has definitely progressed this month, he’s still unable to always express how he’s feeling and so ends up whinging/tantrum’ing. It can be tiring to say the least but this month has also provided us with lots of laughs!
Here’s an update:
Some of the words he’s learnt:
- Says “Bruno” clearly
- “Teedo” (Chico)
- “Mine”
- “Doddles” (cuddles)
- “arps” (Harps)
- “Mama”/”Mummy” Finally!
- “Bubbles”
- “Harveer”
- “Mane”
- “Naan” (Shaan)
- “More”
- “Botah” (water)
His latest antics:
- He absolutely loves feeding Bruno every evening
- We try and go to the gurdwara once a week and we do sewa of cleaning the windows although it doesn’t last longer than 90 seconds!
- He screams “bubbles” whenever his nose runs
- He’s been really whingy – it’s constant moaning or whinging for no apparent reason! But at the same time, when he laughs, he laughs from the pit of his stomach!
- He hums “twinkle twinkle”
- He tried to swim by himself in Abu Dhabi
- He’s had his 6th holiday
- We went to visit Preetam’s Birmingham family for the first time. It wasn’t long before Arjun’s shyness wore off and he was ordering them about!
