My conversation with Sriram

As the Mom had written, Sriram talks a pre-set English conversation. It goes something like this:
Us : Do you know English
Sriram: Yes, I know
Us: How old are you?
Sriram: I am Too
Us: How are you?
Sriram: I am fine, thanks
Us: What is your name?
Sriram: My name ish G. Seeyaam
Us: What is your father's name?
Sriram: Gudhupasath
Us: What is your Mother's name?
Sriram: Izaa

The best part of this conversation is, when I try extending this conversation by saying something and affixing, "Is this correct?" or "Am I right?"...and he picks up the part that he needs to get the last word, and answers as "correct" or "right"...

And we are one helluva proud parents...fulll of smiles...:-)

Sriram at 29 months

Sriram talks Kannada fluently and he is only 29 months old. He can understand Tamil and reply back in Kannada. He also tries to speak in Tamil sometimes when he is in a good mood. He can answer a list of pre-taught questions in English.

He can sing ABCD song and say numbers till 40. He can identify nearly all animals, fruits, vegetables and flowers.

He can ride a tricycle effortlessly and read all letters. He tries to repeat words from the television.

I guess he is ready for school. But I'm not sure when or where to put him into. If I go to my mom's place after delivery, I don't think Sriram will manage for a month or so without me. Looks like he'll go to school only after he completes three.
