Ishan has named me "Mamma Shimba"!!

Now he is 2 years and almost 2 months old. and he can talk sentences.. has developed amazing reasoning power. picks up the things being discussed / talked and can convey those to other person without prompting.
He has given me the special right and a sweet name - Shimba!! When I am at home, I would have the exclusive privilege to do every thing for him. He wont accept things from anybody - be it the grandma, baba or nanny or mama / mavashi.
He takes the glass of water in his hands and carries it to me and then handover it to me so that i can make him drink the water!
When peopl demand some things from him (e.g. swati aaji mhanali ki me he pustak ambarnath la neu ka, tar tyane uttar dila ki he changal nahi!!) then he refuses and can reason it well.
Pradnya ne amachakade varan bhat khau naye mhanun tyane 3 karan dili - "mohri ahe", "tikhat ahe" ani "oki hote".
kal tyala pohe khayche hote... aai mhanalya ki me karate. tar mhanato kasa "nahi mamma shimba". Mag kay mala pohe karavech lagle. ani nantar ardhe aaji kadun khalle ani ardhe majhyakadun
aaj me khichdi karun gele hote.
Today when we went to eat bhelpuri at Balaji Bhel in Pimpale Saudagar, we got the food in the car. While we were eating it, Ishan was playing in the car. He tried to eat from my plate and then started looking out from the car. I had opened the window glass to let fresh air in. When Ishan reached out to the window and was peeking out, I got a thought what if he opens up the door - I did not allow this thought to rest in my mind, at the same time, the next puri in my plate caught my attention and I allowed it do so. Next moment, the puri was in my mouth and Ishan had fallen outside the car as he had opened the door unintentionally while playing with it. I was like frozen... I had the plate in my hand - a person ran to Ishan and took him up and made him sit in the car. He was luckily not hurt but shocked by what happened. And here I was sitting the car comfortably enjoying my food!! We came home, Ishan slept after some time, but this is not going to go away from me for some time now and I am thinking how I can prevent such things. One thing is I have to focus on Ishan while I am with him and all other things must become secondary. Second is to always follow all security guidelines. As part of this, I must get the child locks to all the plugs in the home where he can reach out and also get furniture child proof. Must complete this now within this week Todays was an escape from a situation I would never ever want to be in...
