Dodo

this is what Ojas is singing since yesterday, Dodo dodo dodo

Every 30 mins once he would take one of us to the kitchen and say dodo dodo

Any guesses what it could be???

Ok let me tell u its Ladoo :):)

Naani made besan dodo yesterday as he turned 17 months yesterday (I know the post is due, it will be up soon) and he loved it so much that its the only thing he wants to eat needless to say naani is flying in air

Its actually so cute to hear him say dodo dodo

Chocolate

Ojas proved that he is my son... he loves and adores chocolates, he got the taste of chocolate some 3 weeks back when a friend gave him one on the picnic we went to, he loved it we could all see it... but that was it both he and us forgot about it...

But sigh that was till some days back when I was reading him the foods book which has a page on chocolates and he started shouting when he saw that, initially I couldnt understand what he is saying but then realised he was trying to take the chocolate out of the book and eat :) When he couldnt take it out he asked me to and when I couldnt he took the book to every person in the house, asking them to take the chocolate out... lol, this drama went for about 15 mins post which he started crying for chocolate and N had to step out to buy one and give him... I thought these things started after sometime... needless to say that the book has been hidden forever :)

He displayed the same behavior in a party day before when he saw a girl with one, was running behind her saying Choc, choc, choc... ya thats what he calls chocolate

Jelly

I went shopping for Ojas's formula, diapers etc in the weekend and picked up In the Heinz Summer Fruit Salad Jelly.... on an instinct I picked it up though Ojas doesn't enjoy eating sweet things so much but it was a pleasant surprise seeing him eat that yesterday evening... he liked it soooo much that he was coming forward to eat it and at one of time I started talking to my mom and paused for a minute or so before giving him anything and he actually pulled my hand asking for more :) :) and this from a boy to whom giving any food is a BIG task normally.... u have to play, distract, sing songs etc etc for atleast 30 mins for him to eat half a bowl of food...

Ghar Ka Khaana

Ojas is a very fussy eater in the sense that u have to play with him, distract him and then make him eat his food with hazar drama.... We went to 4-day vacation to Kerala last week and in this time he eat only readymade foods like cerelac... gerber fruit and veggies purries... and when we came back home yesterday he all three homemade meals without any natak and drama amazes me my son seems to have realize the importance of ghar ka khaana pretty soon ;-) though he is back to drama today :-(
