Hi All

I hope everybody got a chance to view Tia's pics in my snapfish album..
I am having a major crisis at home w/Tia's bedtime ritual totally going kaput..She refuses to sleep in her crib and if I put her on our bed,she cooly comes down and goes about her business of doing exactly whatever I or Tapash is doing....till we come to bed...and majal hai if someone tries to talk to us over the phone..she must and has to talk to that person..she screams if we do not give her the phone and then literally jargons out for minutes...its so infuriarating....
pls urgent help and suggestions required...
Tia ki ma..supremely pareshaan..
btw i just got a recent order for baking a neigbour kids b'day cake since mine was so child friendly and safe !!!wow..now I'm the official baker !!! padma replied. Hi Sush!!

We are all always in the same damn boat!! Like Rishu, Kichu sleeps on the crook of my arm (noseblock is the excuse), ruling out any action. He too wont sleep in a crib and cant be left alone even in the bed.

We've put the bed on the floor so it's easy for him even thought he isnt walking yet. He's still in the cruising mode and is plain lazy.

We give him the phone first, after telling the caller that either you speak to my son first or hang-up. We've bought another look-alike instrument and give that to him after a minute, pretending as if i or amma are actually speaking on it.

My cellphone is in pieces and Sanj just refuses to even take his phone out of his bag..

They're starting to be little individulas and are proving to us that they rule!! I still havent mustered heart to scold him or let him cry, so he's really manipulative about these too..

Kya karein.. Cant complain at home 'coz then mom dad and hubby'll all tell me how he's taaken after me..

Wow!! Tia;s really grown into a big girl and is looking great!!

Love and kisses to her. And send us the recipe for the cake too.

Love
paddoo Reena replied. Dear Sush,

Am writing to you after a LONG time! Rishu is worse than Tia and I have actually crossed the stage of worrying as there is no hope for him! He sleeps at 2am and is DONE sleeping in an hr after which he loves to PLAY all nite. He is running everywhere now and likes to master his new art at nite. Saari lights band karne ke baad bhi he is not scared. I have a bad cold and fever as I was up all night. He is literally a monster at night guys! Everyone says he is like Dr Jekly and Hyde and my parents are really worried abt me ki aise kasie chalega mera life with me and him being up all nite. Din mein he sleeps fr 2.5 hrs solid and that is enough to recharhe his battery. EVeryone is SHOCKED here ki aisa bacccha nahi dekha. Its 12am now and he is trying his best to sip out some juice out of an empty frootie ka dabba!!
Eating is still a struggle. I had really thought ki India aaker yeh dono probs theek ho jayega but they have gotten worse dear friends. Crib ko chodo he sleeps with his head on my neck and so even if I move he is up!
He is walking very pretty these days and is out of control, hhas now learned to change directions and go left right and turn too!
Sush, I am never allowed to speak on the phone, never at all! He snatches the phone and puts it to his ear but ulta and then talks! He is higly J and if Ayushi or Tanvi comes in my lap he comes and hits them. He scolds me too when I scold him and puts his hands on both his ears when I shout at him-says BUP to me and scolds me!
Ek number ka bigrail ho gaya hain.Kal Madhulika my close friend had come to meet me-she is down from Chicago with her 7 month old beti. He climbed on her and HIT her-I WAS REALLY EMBARRASSED!
Waise smart bahut jyaada hain and copies me for everything, if I take my inhaler he takes it too and if I cry he comes and puts his cheek on mine as if he is comforting me! Aajkal NEha waala bed apne aap climb kar leta hain. Mujhe lagta hain ye ya to seedha scientist banega ya smuggler!

Sush, so our kids have entered their terrible two's already, after all desi khoon hain na..
I could go on with R's latest antics..
Chalo hope this helps in making you feel better..Puneet is coming next week and I am so excited but their is going to be no action at all because of this villain in my life-after all I cant handle 1 1/4 men in bed at the same time :))

Komal, I am getting back on Feb 5th so will miss Megs bday which I think is on the 22nd na..kya plans hain tera? Batana detail mein...
Sush ko help karne ke bajai humne to apna hi update de diya..chalo koi nahi..
Waise,what do you mean by a child friendly cake? I think all kids would just like to dip their heads in a cake all day!! (doesnt apply to RIshu though)
Bye and take care Reena
