and now you want a cat

My dear son,

I have not been able to write as much i wanted in the last few days. Due to your coughing :( Specially around 3 am. And then you throw up. So i try to sleep in the day when you take your nap. Hence fewer cute letters..

We went to the temple this friday. And we had fun. You rang lots of holy bells and you had lots of 'prasad' and you got a few tikka too. So it was a fun trip for us. Until, you decided to befriend the temple dog who was dozing peacefully. You went and tried to pat it. And it snarled at you. Because dogs don't like surprises. But you didn't cry then. You came to me very quietly and told me, "mumma i want a cat." You cried in the car, when i asked you what happened. I think you were in shock. I was also amazed. For two minutes i don't watch you and this happens. sob sob sob

But this didn't shock me as much as what you did last week. We were getting ready for your daily "park outing" when suddenly you were nowhere to be found. It seems you didn't want to wait up for us. After we had searched all your hiding spots inside the house (behind the curtain, behind the door, behind the toy basket, beneath the study table...), we found you waiting for us, inside the lift. You were smiling.
When did you grow so tall that you could reach the lift button on your own? Or turn the door latch on your own? And just when did you turn so so naughty? I swear i had a mini heart attack that day.

Oh, in other news, your father has forgotten all romantic bollywood songs these days. The only thing he can hum to me these days is "3 little kittens" or "5 little moneys". Me? i'm a 'finger family' fan these days. All of them. Especially "where is thumbkin".

As always,
Your loving mom.
