I have been trying to teach Ms. Aadya to read and write. Mostly she doesn’t like to sit still and lacks the concentration.I usually stop when she starts fooling around. Today,was a different,that she asked to study,on her own. And sat down and laboriously tried to trace lines on the dots.I was happy and surprised.Ofcourse,she is still not able to do it correctly,but I can see that she is trying..really trying.
And what surprised me most was…she was watching her favorite show,when she asked to study.I told her if she wanted to study,she had to switch of the TV and..just like that,she got up and turned it off!Woww!that’s a first!
Aadi is crazy about chocolate Lava cake these days.Every day,she wants us to go to Domino’s and get it for her.Obviously,we don’t get it everyday,but that doesn’t stop her from asking for it.So,today,I tried this recipe.I guess I baked it a little longer or may be my oven was too heated..so,it turned out a little dry.BUT..it was the most moist chocolate cake I ever ate! And DH who doesn’t normally eat/like chocolatey desserts,liked it too..so I am happy..hehe..

Yes,today was just another day..nothing interesting happenned.The weather was crappy..it was dull and gloomy all day..and we were dull and gloomy too.
The only excitement of the day was,that a slot opened up in a day care that I had applied for and I fixed up her orientation for next week.I hope she likes it.I am relieved that atleast I have a back up,if she doesn’t get a seat in the Kindergarten for next year.
The headache came back…so i am guessing its the weather that brings it on..but anyway,the evening went away in a haze..
more later tomorrow! -
Wish you all a very Happy Dusshera.
Those of you who don’t celebrate Dusshera,hope you had a good weekend.
We had a good day today.We went to the mall after ages…shopped a bit-mostly for Ms.Aadya.DH and I bought just essentials..but Ms.Aadya got a jacket,a T-shirt and a jeans from Pumpkin Patch..AND..she got a bear from Build-a-bear.She has two babies from there already-One was a gift from my friend V for her first birthday.She is called Angie.She is at my friend P’s place in Seattle.We were leaving from the USA and there wasn’t enough time for P to ship it back to me..so,DH went and got the second one..We tried to pass it as Angie..but our 15 month old didn’t buy it!She said,No this is Bala(bala-is marathi for baby).
And today we got Roneo(aadyaspeak for Romeo)So,Roneo,was picked,filled,dressed by our 3 and 1/2 year old and she is excited about him..She even went to bed with him,in her bed,in her own room…(fingers crossed that she stays there all night!)
She is still not asleep,trying to fall asleep..but its OK,its a start..:) -
I woke up this morning with a terrible headache and intense nausea..Its terrible..only half of my head/face hurts.The pain seems to be coming from behind my eye.And even after,the pain subsides..I feel tired and drained.I am pretty sure its migraine.This week,I have had this headache twice..I am so tired 😦
My Dr. just suggested migraine specifc pain meds..but really,I need something more than temporary pain relief.
Anybody tried alternative therapies that worked??
More later..
Have a good weekend,:)
