Tit Bits :-)

Dear Gabdu,

The topmost thing on mammas mind is accomplishing night time weaning and getting down to max of 2 regulated feedings ( by regulated i mean quick and continuous 10-15 minute nursing session as opposed to how it is now with u taking breaks and coming back at ur ease and screaming murder if Mamma asks if u are done and she can shut shop :-)), a day.
As I sit thinking abt it, I am looking back fondly on the nursing sessions we have had in the past. Abt how you literally do a joy of dance if Mamma says Chalo Beta when you say "Diddhu" in ur cute baby voice with a question mark.You hold Mamma and lead her to the bedroom these days and say leti leti and do a "Hu Ha Hu Ha " with a naughty and happy glint in ur eyes if Mamma complies with ur wishes. And everytime Mamma asks u " Duddhu Bas?" you look up while drinking and briefly disengage and demand "Aur Chahiye " with all the "its my birthright" tone .. and then continue without waiting for my response...And if Pappa dares says "Guddu Duddhu Bas - papa Godi?" to start his process of putting you to sleep you kick him so badly - that ouch it hurts badly ( when U laugh;-))). Even his presence anywhere close by spells danger to you and you think his sole purpose is to take you away from ur milk ! You give him glares and often kick him very hard with the slightest hint of him opening his mouth assuming he is gonna try to disengage you. And sometimes , if and only if you decide ( YOU are the supreme authority) you will say "Mamma Bas" and then as if to ask Mamma to hurry up if Mama is continuing to lie down without shutting shop as we call it, you say "Bandh Kar Lo !".And you have learnt to say this side that side and flip your back and wait eagerly on the other side for Mamma !

And I also remember the number of times you have bitten me and when mamma said "No biting" you often did not understand said "No biting " and continued and when Mamma said Ouch you realised the pain and wud start wailing loudly saying "Mammma no biting" !! And when Mamma is in pain for any reason and Mamma asks you to disengage saying "Beta Nikalo" you promptly do that which is sooo sweet and understanding !

Hmm ... so feeding you has given me fond memories for life but at the same time I have many back breaking tales also which I wud reserve for some other letter to you

luv
Mamma

on your previous post o dillemas- i hav gone thru each and every one of those excet the travel part. (no 3)

hav started giving chocolates occassionly and also chips/ mixture - a litle. moderation is th key. the moment they r ol enuf to undertsand the lays & haldirams will be out of the house.
closets- tried removing the glasses off initially from the glass cupboards. now i have emptied 2 drawers of the showcase and filled with their toys so that it doesn't matter if they pull out stuff from there. i hv seen the cupboard locks in lifestyle kid section. expensive though may be we cud ty for the shoe cupboard. i let them play with / bang/ throw the vessels in the kitchen and removed the knifes away from the lower drawers.
aquaguard is on now.
silver vessels still separate for them
tv forever on. toys stopped washing them long ago. except if the drop it in pee/poo
always in chaddi except when going out- then nappy pads/ diaper. easy on their skin as even the diapers tend to be damp. i try to take them o their potty/ bathroom at intervals to ensure less accidents and also right after they get up from sleeping- no delays in this one
