The First Tooth

Our little baby N just cut his first tooth and for once I was correct about all the signs ! He has been drooling, biting, fussing a little and getting up randomly at night. So finally yesterday I spotted a white spot and had daddy and grandma confirm before getting really excited about it.

I am sure the drooling days and sleepless nights will continue for a while, but seeing that first pearly white was a lovely surprise ! I am now looking forward to his next milestone (will it be crawling or will it be starting solids ?).

YAY for the first tooth !

Our Little Teacher - Part 2

I was spending a relaxing morning with R doing his favorite doodling activity. I was doing Make-A-Match game with him on the doodle board. I listed down 4 colors on the left side of the board and 4 animals on the right side and I asked him to make a match. The colors were (Yellow, Brown, Grey and Red) and on the other side I had (Elephant, Duck, Elmo and Bear). R looked at the board for a minute and then asked me what "Grey" was. He looked at it and said "Green?". I think he thought Mommy made a mistake. So I told him it was the color "Grey". There was a pause and some deep thinking and then "Mommy, this should be an 'a' ". I asked him to spell the word for me and he said "Gray". I was taken by surprise and got a little confused about the spelling myself. So I called daddy and asked him and he was not sure too. R insisted that it was Gray so we ended up googling the word. Turns out "Grey" and "Gray" are both correct. "Grey" is the British version and "Gray" is the American. We were both right in our own ways :). R was beaming with pride when we told him he was right !

I am getting very nervous about doing these activities with him :).
