Happenings

Last weekend being labor day weekend, we went to Lake Tahoe with friends and their parents.

Aghoo, Amma and Dada left on friday at 2 pm, since we wanted to take advantage of miss madam's nap time. She was so excited to go to the " beach" that she was in her best behavior :)The evil parents that we are- we fully capitalized it and used for for almost a week to her to finish her lunch and dinner, go pee pee / poo poo etc :P

The drive , which should have taken us 3 hrs, took 7 hrs!! Poor Aghoo was exhausted- but I was so proud of her for co operating so well. She napped for almost 3 hrs (!!), woke up and was really thrilled by all the junk food I was offering her to keep her happy.We then played the colors game ( I name a color and she finds an object with that color) for some time, did puzzles, colored.All that junk food make her throw up once w hit the mountains - poor baby. Thankfully, we were only 40 min from Tahoe and made it there without more incidents :).

She thoroughly enjoyed the beach, sand, water and loved the " beach home". For the 3 days that we were here, she was so happy  every morning when she would wake up and find herself in the beach home. Our friends parents thoroughly spoiled her too.

She was so sad to say by to beach home  when we had to head back :( and has been asking to go back there everyday.

The drive back was also long - almost 8 hrs. Aghoo handled so well as well. I restricted the amount of junk food in fear of her throwing up again - but we managed to entertain her and got home without any major incident or tantrum :)

This weekend we decided it was high time we made the transition to underwear - she has been in pull ups for almost 2 months now.
Aghoo was soooooo pround of herself- She has been doing no.2 in the potty for almost 4 months now ( consistently). No.1 is the big issue- She went to school in pull ups today, but her teacher thinks we can send her in underwear tomorrow! Fingers crossed !
She only had one accident over the weekend- otherwise, she either told us that she needs to go to the potty or we have taken her every 1- 1.5 hrs.
This morning though- she did not want to wear underwear to school and insisted on a pull up. I think she is still insecure about school and doesn't feel comfortable telling her teachers that she needs to go potty.

So, this morning she was happy to go to school ( she was excited to take her backpack with her) and happily went to off to her Miss Rama. I made the mistake of lingering a bit- because I wanted to talk to her teacher about potty training. Since she saw me lingering, she started to cry piteously when I was leaving.. :( my poor little baby- broke my heart. She said " I am sad .. I don't want  school. (lets )Go home amma"...

I really hope she gets used to school and starts being the cheerful child that she was in day care..
Love you Aghoo baby..

Like I was telling dada yesterday, sometimes, I am overwhelmed by the amount of love I feel for you... I cannot fathom loving another child, like I love you .. ( if and when I have another child i.e.). Your dada, being the more practical one, assures me that I was be gushing the same way with our second one too :P
