I just realized that I haven’t blogged too much about Kutty
V. He just turned one a couple of weeks ago and I feel that the year has flown
by in a blink. My two boys are as different as chalk and cheese! They also look
as different as chalk and cheese except when they are sleeping and then they
look exactly alike! As a single child, I
never quite get sibling dynamics and at the ripe old age of 32 I will never get
it! It will always be something that is exclusive to both the boys and that I
can never be a part of. It amazes me that a 4.5 year old will give up his toys
and literally do anything to make this 1 year old smile and laugh. And this 1
year old will call and shout and basically do anything to attract his older
brother’s attention. Kutty V can wave hello and bye. He can give us a high five.
He can climb stairs and is figuring out how to climb down. He climbs into and
squats in his brother’s “Veer” chair and attempts to play with all of Veer’s
action figures before he wakes up. He thinks he is having a very serious
conversation sometimes and yells at us when he is mad. He shakes his head when
he doesn’t want something and he is almost ready for the big boy car seat!
I have been more chilled out with Vaasu’s first year than
with Veer’s first year. I promised our pediatrician that I will not freak out
about every little cough and sniffle and I didn’t. In certain ways, I have
cherished Kutty V’s year one differently from Big V’s. Because all said and
done, he is probably my last and I know that I will never experience these
firsts again.
