And Amman ji decided to bless my daughter with rash and what do I have? Two babies demanding attention every two seconds simultaneously for more than a week - way beyond insane - and yes believe me, I have no baby sitter at home! At one insane Grrrrr.... "god go to hell" moment I had left T.lakshmi in kids sleeping room and gone to lift KK, expecting screaming and I step in after 2 secs and I see that she is happily entertaining herself forgetting the viral rash itching her all over ... what is she looking at, the beautiful play of light and shade as the sun shines through the window - screen waving to the rhythm of a winter breeze. I look at the floor with her, and wow, I see a beautiful dance of light ... and I see a child mesmerized by it ... She is there just watching that not a peep from her for more than 15 minutes ... unbelievable ... Well my Rs.3000 toy was just sitting beside helplessly like my American PhD! :)And hoo hooooooo ... today I successfully made T.Lakshmi sit and shit in a potty .... YYYYYEEAAAAAAHHHH .... Give me a high five everyone - not an ordinary task! :) (okay okay it wasnt that great, I had lifted her up a bit too early! hee hee!Nevertheless she did the most in the potty you see!) Well, my KK was trained at my amma's home with her grand experience with my neice and nephew cheering him with all their might to celebrate the throne for elimination! :) But T.Lakshmi I had to do alone at home while minding KK falling here and there and breaking possibly every bone in his face seemingly! :))) ... I was so sooooooo ... happy today.
I have a "special 'happy daya' potty training" photo here to celebrate that! (Yes we actually trained him at 6 months, if you had read my old blogs, yes my amma kept her promise!)And ofcourse the best part of the day is that I actually finally got a baby sitter. And this time it feels like it would last longer. I havent dated in my life. But my baby sitting recruitment went worse than dating ... Mostly one-day-stands! :))) ... Emotionally tumultuous! And finally I see a big glimmer of hope in Ningammaa, the one who showed up today! Yes I indeed successfully brought up my twins without a baby sitter for an entire god-damn-nine-months! (Ofcourse there was somebody who came for 2 hours in the evening, when I was crazy enough to learn keyboard and swimming in addition to mothering twins! - does that count? She was great though - but we couldnt bring her here - And we wont tell anyone that actually "not one more day" I had declared with furious tears last week threatening prax!!! hee heeee). Ningammaa, unnai charanNataiNthEn! :)
