Miriam-Ashwin's dictionary

Ash's evolving vocabulary (which is not pretty impressive for a 3-yr-old):
1. Cha-chi-cha = chocolate (once upon a time, chachicha meant everything edible, now he has refined it to chocolate)
2. Mumma= water
3. ant = pant(s)
4. Venthaa = Dont want (food, that is)
5. I = icecream
6. Kipp = clip
The other words include milk and computer. His favorites though are Uppappa (uncle), Appacha, Ammichi (which he expatiates with a "kokakooo" to denote his granny's hens) and Appi.
And he can recite Psalm 121 in Malayalam!
Miriam has learnt much of Ash's vocabulary and also the nursery rhyme 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' from him.
