Our 2 year old loves to sing. Whether it is rhymes or film songs or bhajans, Skandhu keeps humming the music! When he was 1.5 yrs old I started teaching him the basics of carnatic (Indian classical) music. We were amazed to see him sing sarali varisai and janta varisai with great ease. Then I [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/our-2-year-old-budding-musician/feed 0 http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/our-toddler-helping-around-the-house http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/our-toddler-helping-around-the-house#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:47:53 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2752
In my last post I had talked about our toddler helping around the house. Do you involve your kids in everyday household chores? Researches say that it is great way to develop confidence and self esteem. Growing up me and my sister had helped our working mom with all kind of household chores. Mopping, doing [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/our-toddler-helping-around-the-house/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/skandhus-activites-at-28-months http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/skandhus-activites-at-28-months#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2012 02:35:11 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2613
Hello everyone! Its been a long time (3 months precisely) since I updated this space. Thanks to all those who had enquired about my long absence. First of all "All is well"! Was extremely busy! Even I feel so bad that I had missed penning down our LO's activities for the past few months. Well, [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/skandhus-activites-at-28-months/feed 0 http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/lets-pretend-says-our-toddler http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/lets-pretend-says-our-toddler#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:52:44 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2597
This is my first post (update) after Skandha turned 2 years old. We had our 2nd year doctor visit and Skandhu is doing great! We are noticing lots of changes in him. He forms complicated sentences with proper prepositions. Naughtiness and temper tantrums have increased exponentially! Skandhu is learning how to count. He knows numbers [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/lets-pretend-says-our-toddler/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/activities-of-our-2-year-old http://www.scribbalicious.com/2-to-3-years/activities-of-our-2-year-old#comments Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:17:59 +0000 SkandhusDaddy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2575
It's been some time since I wrote a blog post here. As I write this post, Halloween just passed us by and dear son's second birthday got over a couple weeks ago. Ah, how time flies!

Every evening Skandhu and me spend time playing outside. We talk and learn about lots of things around us. Last evening I recorded our chat without Skandhu's knowledge (else he would run away with my smart phone!) Here is an audio clipping of Skandhu, Talking about the vehicles that he sees on road, 4 seasons [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/1-to-2-years/21-to-24-months/evening-chat-with-skandhu/feed 0 http://www.scribbalicious.com/1-to-2-years/21-to-24-months/skandhu-at-23-months http://www.scribbalicious.com/1-to-2-years/21-to-24-months/skandhu-at-23-months#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 23:57:03 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2522
Been a long time since I updated here. Was busy with navarathri. Skandha had a gala time playing with kids (& elders too) visiting our navarathri kolu. These are the times when we get to meet our neighbors and enjoy the social life here in US! It was fun having guests almost everyday.

Skandhu had a great time playing with his grandparents last weekend. He amused and entertained them with his cute gestures and naughty activities! We went to Lemont Hindu temple. Skandhu recited few Shlokas (scared verses) and offered his prayers. The priest was very much excited that he gave Skandhu extra prasad ;) (almonds) Skandhu loves [...]]]> http://www.scribbalicious.com/milestones/skandha-solving-puzzle-at-22-months/feed 1 http://www.scribbalicious.com/milestones/our-22-month-toddler-activities http://www.scribbalicious.com/milestones/our-22-month-toddler-activities#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:18:31 +0000 SkandhusMommy http://www.scribbalicious.com/?p=2433
Last week I was on cloud nine! Yup, our LO wished me on my birthday in his cutest voice. My best birthday gift. Daddy and son gifted me a beautiful card and bag of chocolates :) We went to Zoo, Children's Museum and Farm over the past weekends. Skandhu had a blast roaming around places.

Hiya folks! Hope everyone had a wonderful Krishna Janmashtami. We had a nice time too. Skandhu (mis)understood that it was "Krishna (his cousin)'s" b'day :) He stood with his hands folded, as we offered our prayers to the lord and he kept chanting "OM DEBA"!!
