Moments - Part I

Dinner time, mumma is in the kitchen, pappa is with the kiddo reading one of his books. I think it was his fruits book. They come to the page with cherries
Pappa: Red Cherry
Naman: Ed Theyyi
Pappa: that's right, red cherry
And then he remembers something out of the blue and is eager to share it with us.
Naman: Addi (Ajji), pappa, mumma, Naman theyyi pick (he had just learned to use "pick" that day)
And then he promptly goes to where hubby keeps his laptop and demands "lat-pot opoo (open)" implying that he wants to talk to his Ajji over skype right then!
Hubbby and I were looking at each other, thrilled that our lil guy not only remembers our cherry picking outing with his Ajjji but is also able to connect and express it when we are reading about cherries in a book.
It is purely for moments like these that we need to create sweet memories. Any hesitation we may have had that day about driving all the way over to the cherry farm in the heat and getting sun-burned, good that we did not give in to our laziness. This moment totally made it all worth it apart from all the fun we ended up having in the farm!
