Water, Air and Earth

No, this post is not actually about the 3 classical elements. But  these 3 seems to be other favourites of our Muddu.

Water is his new favourite. He can play in water for hours. Every time the bathroom door in open, he rushes in to play in the bucket, and yeah we have leaky tap. He just loves to put his hand in the flowing water, if tap is open, else he has learnt to pour water with the mug, which invariably makes him wet. If he is extremely cranky, I just take him to our utility/balcony and open the tap, keeps him busy for some time.

Wind – was discovered by Muddu just two days ago. We were taking our usual evening walk, that is I walk and Muddu on pram, and it was windy. The first time he felt it, he called me (makes uuu sound) and showed his head. I couldn’t figure out why he was showing his head. And then couple of minutes later the wind blew on our faces and he showed his head again…and then I realised, aah he never has experienced wind before.  Sounds strange, but all during his first year, if it was windy or cold, mostly we would stay indoors or he would be packed from head to toe with cap and high neck , full shoulder shirts, basically minimum skin exposure to wind. Now it’s summer that he is actually feeling things on his skin and he seemed to like it.

Earth – yes. I have started gardening! haven’t got any plants though. Still digging. And Muddu is very co-operative around. He usually wears my slippers and struts around OR just plays in the mud. He seem to like the stones better ,once he gets hold of it, it’s difficult to make him throw it.  He also loves playing in the mud when we go to the park, though there the preference more seems to be getting inside the tunnel, but nevertheless, mud gets enough attention
