Oh and what a mess!!

This was the general reaction yesterday as we started to "toilet train" dhriti...

We have to take the trouble of taking her to the loo every 1 hour (without fail) and ask her to pee...This actually works fine till the time we forget about it.

And add to that the fact that Dhriti has become kind of averse to diapers, you can get her to wear a diaper ONLY when she is sleeping...

At times I am like...why she behaves as if she is SOOOOOO intelligent,why cant she be so good at this also...Why does she have to take more than 1 day???

Goddddddd.....grant me some patience...and on top of this aunty (she looks after Dhriti and is doing most of the work actually!!) tells me every other kid of Dhriti's age is already toilet trained...Why....why...why compare???

Some random thoughts

Now when I see another mother with a toddler at tow I stop, look up and smile...We both know why, we share this common joy of being mothers..

Now when we are at a public place (a hotel, a plane, a gathering) and I suddenly hear a squeal from a kid, I dont snigger, I know there's a kid somewhere there

Now when there is no work at office, I dont feel like inventing new work to do.I just buy some time before its time to pack off...

Now when there is a new movie in town,we dont rush. We patiently wait for a DVD, wait for a weekend, wait for Dhriti to fall into a deep sleep and then start watching the movie. Gone are the days, when I used to watch a movie 1st day 1st show and also watch movies back to back

Now when there is a weekend, we look out for kiddie places, or places not too far away coz i cant just hold Dhriti in the car for a long long time

Now when we are in mood to eat food outside (which anyways sucks in KL) we still cook and give Dhriti her food before we end up at a hotel. And I dont remember the last time both Shiva and myself sat together to eat a lesuirely and casual meal

P.S: I was jealous of Shiva using this picture in his blog so copied it here :)
