Visited new places and had lunch (did potty).. enjoyed aeroplane journey.

First look - Anagaha

8-Oct-12

Trip to home town was quite successful. We took two weeks leaves, one week we stayed at Kurukshetra and one at Alwar. It was for first time we didn't find that many holidays boring. Archit was quite excited and was playing like anything. Environment was quite happy due to Anagha's birth. We got so busy that for first time we didn't visit our college or badrakali temple. Even in Alwar it was same way. Sonia, Monika and Dhriti were there so we got good company. We went to  Sikar. Everything was calm. I did lot n lot of shopping and Dheeraj actually helped me in completing my list without questioning. Infect, he cooperated :) I loved him for that. Archit learnt giving dhok. On way back, evne train journey was smooth, didn't face any food problem. We were able to give him outside food too. For nite we took khicdi for home. for breakfast, we gave him cutlet and bread, for lunch Dheeraj got Idli from Nagpur station. So, no problem. Deepa prepared Dinner for Archu.

First Train journey- Ap Express

15-Sep-12

Archit's first train journey; AP express from Hyderabad to Delhi; Total time 28 hours. I was very worried about this journey that Archit will react, how will we manage his food, potty diapers etc. But it actually went very smooth. Archit was at peace. He informed us about his potty which he did in train's bathroom. Food also fine, we managed with poori and aloo we got. For milk we used tetra pack. It was definitely different then normal journey where we used to either sleep or watch movies but never the less it was equally entertaining. We realize we do need to give child some freedom. For example it was almost first time when Archit saw so many slippers and shoes near by, so he got so excited that whole day he was sitting among them, playing with them. First, we were little reluctant then we let him play. While coming back his this fascination was over and he didn't give us that trouble too.

Day care started

1-Aug-12

Life has all of sudden so much changed. Sometimes Archit surprised us by his newly gained skill, other time he frustrates us by his tantrums. We will be sending him to day care from Sep 1. Like any other mother I am excited as well as anxious. I know adjustment will take time. But atleast I am content that to some extent Archit can do his defense. Just waiting for him to become 1.5 year. Hopefully, he will be more manageable at that time :)

4-Sep-12

Second day of day care. Yesterday, we just went for 30 minutes. That too I was standing outside of room watching him. His first reaction was that he was clinging to door, calling mamma mamma. Then one of the aaya took him and gave him toys with which he played for few minutes. There was more chaos in the room. There were so many kids in single room. Things were not looking convincing. Then it seems some one took his toy and he again came to door calling mamma mamma, he came out, saw me and became normal. But i realized i was doing it wrong, I didn't bring his milk bottle or anything. So today, I left him in day care at 10:00pm, told him that I am coming back in 1 hour. Left his milk bottle there. When we came back after 1 hour, he was drinking milk, sitting next to laptop with his favorite song baba black sheep being played. After he finished his milk, he did his classic dance step too. It was less chaos today. Kids were divided in 3 rooms. Every one was busy in there activities and only one kid was crying. Two of kids who were crying yesterday were fine. I believe it was Monday effect. Anyways tomorrow, I will plan more better. Will give his schedule till 1:00 PM. We will try to increase his timing till 3:00 PM till 15th Sep

2-Nov-12

Archit completed one month in day care. Did he get set? I can't comment on that. For first 6 days, he used to cry whole day. On 7th day, when I went in evening he was fine; from 8th day, I found him playing in evening. He seems happy there. There is no major fight in morning for school. But problem is cold and cough. This has become almost regular feature for him. Some days back he got viral fever, thou it was not because of day care but then we could not send him for whole week. Now, it almost always he is having running nose and cough. I am trying to build his immunity. I give him mausambi juice with multivitamin added. Trying to give bc21 atleast once a day. Most importantly i have added egg to his diet. Let's see how things goes.

10-Dec-12	Wow!! Yesterday I was fully excited when I saw Archit actually knows name of his day care friends. He was playing with them. He was going after them in slides. He is learning fast. He let them touch his cycle.  Also, so many people told that they saw Archit enjoying in day care. That's the advantage of having local day care. So many people know your kid that you keep getting good feedback. So, now I can say Archit has adjusted in day care :)
7-Feb-13	Aaahh!! Life is becoming difficult.. Archit is falling sick often.. He cries, shout and throw stuff. It becomes difficult for us to control him. I feel it happens when he is not well. I have started his homeopathy. I am avoiding calls b/w 7- 10:30pm even if it means taking call late at night. I try to play as much as possible. Just hoping to channelize his anger and energy to positive side. I just need to prevent myself from losing cool.
4-Mar-13	One month passed peacefully.. Looks like homeopathy suiting him.. He is eating well.. Behaving well. Is full of energy.. Touch wood.. We have started his immunity tablet.. Just keeping my finger cross. Hope he will fall less n less sick..
