More Rohanisms

Rohan is now 4 yrs and 1 month old. Sigh ... how time flies. I'm discovering that I'm forgetting all his earlier Rohanisms - my mind space is more occupado with office and work related stuff. Moreover Rohan is not saying things the way he used to - meaning he's getting better at speaking out.

So before I forget and have to "fight" to remember those wonderfully lisped words/sentences/actions he used to do here goes :

- Coco - He used to say this when we first saw the Coke ad. So instead of saying "Coca Cola" he used to "Coco". Very cute.
- "Sleep, ka-ka" - This was an oft repeated phrase and was used by Rohan in the following situations :
- when he was down with fever and was scared to take the medicine.
- when he was scared of Suja who was at her menacing best
- when he was scared of going into the swimming pool or beach.
- "Kaakum" - I'm sure no one will be able to figure out what this means. But he used to lisp this to say "Thank you" !!
- "Ambili mama, va-va". This was taught to him when he was barely a year old and we tried to feed him dinner using this technique. Though it didnt work any wonders, the phrase stuck. Earlier my BIL Ramesh had bought a baby soother - if you switch it on it projects a night sky with stars and the moon. He used to call it "va-va" and always wanted it when I used to come back from work. So we used to spend quite a bit of time in the "children's room" switching off the light and watching the artificial night sky :-)) However he would'nt keep quite though. He would keep switching the music and taking the power plug out of the socket and other such antics which kept me on tenterhooks as usual.
