Kissing

These days C understands the meaning of the word kiss. Whenever I tell her "appakku kiss kudumma" she comes towards and touches her mouth with my cheek. And whenever she does that, Daph and I say "Chantel, good girl!" This prompts C to clap hands. C thinks, whenever she is a good girl, she has to be acknowledged with clapping!
She still has not learnt the flying kiss thing. May be thats a better thing to teach her. Daph has also been trying to teach eye blinking (?!!!), pointing the nose, etc to C. C seems to understand it but forgets it after sometime. Daph also taught her Twinkle, twinkle little star, with full actions, and all. C managed to do the last action (wonder) for the song. C also has a very good full laugh at us, whenever we complete the song with action.
D also bought her a small baby book with animal pictures in it. D also made a 'mistake' of telling stories from the book and making lot of funny sounds. (chick, chick, chick sound for the page that contained three chickens) C really likes the book and the sounds, and laugh uncontrollably at the end of the last chick sound. She would often search for the book, open it to the chicken page and bring to us and make us do the chick sound. Again and again. Hmm...I thought, kids would do / make all these sounds, and we can sit back and relax and enjoy. Looks like we have to do all the hard work, and she would sit and clap hands and enjoy!
