The Baby called Button - Sia


Little Sia is afraid of every bug around. We lovingly called her 'button' because she was as cute as a baby could ever be. She is afraid of spiders the most, and any other bugs like mosquitoes or houseflies who are also 'spiders' to her. They are sometimes lovingly called as flying spiders (read mosquitoes) and buzzing spiders (read bees), yucky spiders (read slugs and earthworms) and spiders (the genuine kind). She once found a slug during her walk in the neighbourhood and called it a "naked snail"! She quipped, "Its coat is missing Mum! It will catch a cold!" Who could talk to her and make sense of the invertebrates! It's not going to be me!

Sia also has a lot of words up her sleeve. And because we also speak Hindi at home, she ends up speaking Hinglish sometimes, "My vest is ulta-pulta (My vest is inside out!)", she says. Some noteworthy words are:

Thunderstoms = Understoms
Best Friend = Yest Faynd (as in Hair) 
Brother = Brather (as in Hair)
Pyjamas = Punjamas
Skirt = Skort
Taken away = Token away
Unvisible
Last the time


I think she has a slight lisp, but I am hoping that she grows out of it. :)
