I am one going on two

This Sunday will be a special occasion as it is my son Ishaan's 2nd birthday. As a thumb rule, my doctor told me, it is 'walking by one' and 'talking by two' give or take a month or two.

So, finally I am, since the last month or so, having a legible conversation with my son. It is restricted to 3-4 word sentences and slowly building up a sequence of these to get across a point. It can all of a sudden revert to baby jargon at any point if something catches his interest enough to distract him.

It makes one think, language is such an amazing gift in human society and so taken for granted.
