Diary of a Whacky Girl

Dear Bulbul,  Kudos to us! We've reached the 3-months milestone. This month V and I became very rebellious and took you over to the beach. Guess how you responded to being taken there? You had an absolutely wonderful and relaxed sleep. You You didn't give a damn about the noises, the rising sun, or the cold breeze, and slept peacefully. I just hope you grow to love the beach more. It's one of the best things in Chennai, and we'd love to take you there often.  We went to the Miniroo exhibition that happened this month at the Crowne Plaza. That place is every kids' heaven. I guess the kids knew it, because despite the crowd and the noise and so many little and not-so-little kids and toddlers in the hall, there were hardly any cry outs or tantrums.

An article I read in FB. This is something that I needed right now and every time I feel things are going out of hand in managing the little one.

I know it's hard for you to open your eyes - we haven't slept a lot yet tonight. But mama, I kinda need you right now. You see, the thing is, I feel a bit lonely at the moment. I'm lying here in my crib and I'm somewhat cold. I didn't mean to cry so I'm sorry I did. I've been trying to get your attention by making some noises for a while now but you were in such a deep sleep, you couldn't hear me. I don't know how else to get your attention. During the day, I see and hear you all make noises and I see you respond well to each other. You talk to me like that too. And I try very hard but I don't know how to do that yet. So I cry so you'd listen to me....
