I have just started typing on my google swift keyboard. As I write this, Krishna pulls at my hands. He is fascinated by the fluorescent white glow of the tablet. I try to hide this glow from his delicate eyes in an attempt to avoid over-stimulation of the brain. (Talk about the many ill-effects of technology on a toddler's mind)!
Krishna loves going for walks in the park in his squeaky blue sandals. A normally shy toddler(he has to take after his parents, who are both shy, after all), he takes his time getting used to new environs, new adults and new playmates.
But the other day, a surprise was in store for us.
We decided to let him walk by himself and followed him a few steps behind, just to see what would pick his interest and how would react to it. He ran promptly behind a father-son duo who were playing with a ball. And what was more, he was loudly shouting in a monosyllable –“baw,baw,baw..”, all the while, hand outstretched, till they finally relented. Once he had the off-white, muddied ball in his tiny hands, he turned his back to them and tried to make his way as fast as possible in the opposite direction.
We decided to intervene, at this point, for the father and son were both turning a bit anxious now. Nevertheless, as we picked up the ball from the grasp of his small fingers and returned it to them and thanked them for their kindness. We were secretly happy for we had discovered the naughty side to our dear little Krishna.
