Atharv eats with his own hands

We were delighted today to see that Atharv has started eating with his own hands.

We made him sit on a sheet and served him salad. With his tiny hands Atharv picked up cucumber, tomatoes and beetroot rings and started eating. With his 6 bunny teeth, Atharv strategically (:-) ) cut each ring into small pieces. Atharv then picked up these pieces and chewed them slowly.

After 15 minutes, when he got bored he started throwing the salad every where in the house and stated chasing the pieces.

I have never ever thought a child can bring so much happiness in a family that lights every corner of the house. We wait for Atharv to do something different every day. With a smart kid like Atharv around our expectations from him have gone up..Hehehhe.

In the evening when Chetan and me both come back, we keep asking ayi - What did he do today? tell us more? and then she goes on and on and on telling stories of Atharv.
