What do you do when...

...you scold your 15mo child for scribbling on the wall and in return get a huge scolding back from the big brother for scolding the little baby?

*rolling my eyes*

What do you do when...

...you lie down with your 15 month old to put her to bed. And after about a minute she sits up and starts patting your head saying "ninni..ninni"?

Role reversal?

What do you do when...

...someone looks at your 10 month baby in a frock, hairband, sandals with ears pierced asks you "Why have you dressed the baby as a girl?" I was stumped, confused and thought I hadn't heard the question right so asked him to repeat.

And then I responded "Because she is a girl!" leaving that person say "Ohh!"

Still..

This is my second stint with sending my baby to daycare. Anirudh also started going to daycare when he was 9 months and Nishka has started since today after she turned 10 months. But it still wrenched my heart leaving her there. I cried. I felt guilty. I was unhappy. I felt such a tug at heart.

Yes, its second time around and but still I did not feel stronger at heart. I had thought that I will be more composed at handling myself and my emotions but I didn't.
