Nethra was sitting so quietly (at least for a few seconds) on the kitchen counter that I had to take a picture.
Tom and Jelly!!! October 12, 2007
I know the first thing you would ask me is why the name “Tom and Jelly”
Well it happens to be one of the most used phrase in our house now.
There is a jelly thing, its this jello like fruit candy, popular in Asian countries. Nethra loooooooves it. Everyday she asks for “jelly”. Now she knows tom and jerry cartoon… Calls it “tom and jelly” tho. Anyway… Until few days back she sould listen to what I say, answering questions, etc. if I pointed to something and ask she would think and answer. Suddenly she has started this new thing where if I ask her something and she doesn’t want to think she will immed say “tom and jelly” like I pointed to a picture of a cup of coffee and asked nethra what is this. Next second “tom and jelly” I said nethraaaa u know what this is. Look… Then she sees and says “copi”. my god. She’s like 19 months and already I have to try so hard to get her to focus. But then if she is engrossed in something no matter how much u shout or try to distract her she will not move an inch.
