My toddler is officially in love with another woman, and I am responsible for it. I have been singing 'itsy bitsy spider' to him ever since he was 8 months old. Few weeks ago I decided that it would be a good idea to see if there were videos of that rhyme on you tube, I got her,
Initially it was very cute to see him just stare at her, then he started following her actions. Now its gone really mental, the minute I open the laptop he comes running from where ever he is and starts chanting, "itchi bitchi haalu" "itchi bitchi haalu" Yeah like you even I have no idea what that haalu means! So I indulge him and play the video he is not content watching her do it twice or 4 times he wants it like on a loop! Yesterday he listened to it for 10 times at least which means he heard the song 20 times :O I seem to be going mental now after hearing that rhyme repeatedly so I made him listen to other rhymes. Nope didn't work "belaaa, belaaa.. itchi bitsi haalu" (beda/ no). (What really amazes me is that they seem to develop preferences so early on).
So there, the 'itchi bitchi haalu' lady is his lady love as of now. It could be Nicki Minaj or Adele next month cos he will sit as if in a trace when Minaj's Super Bass and Adele's Rolling in the Deep is on!
Adele eh? At least you should be glad he has good taste in music. My 7 year old is blissfully singing Justin Beiber's Baby baby and am thinking of sending him to a rehabilitation centre :(
ReplyDeletelolz at itchi bitchi haalu.......
Umm.... I like Beiber! And love that song lol!
Deleteerr I like the song too but when I hear my little boy singing "when I was 13, I had my first love............" it gives me a heart attack!!!
DeleteLOL! Sakshi he is going to bring one home at 13, better prepare yourself!
DeleteYou have a toddler? Now when did that happen! I am so horribly out of date!
ReplyDeleteEhh.. that happened 18mo ago. And I didn't post anything about him here so only people who are my FB friends know. I am still dusting the cobwebs off this blog.
DeleteArrey Haalu means Haadu...HAADU....song...got it????
ReplyDelete;-D
Yeah kids get attached the weirdest songs....when Nikita was small she used to like this ridiculously looking & sounding tea ad on tv. Whenever the ad was aired she wd come running to living room to catch the ad & we wd be rolling our eyes. She also loved the then famous Enrique song with Anna Kournikova...forget the name now;-D
