The hell...

Parents go thru ya...

20th Sept
Last weekend was very hectic, what with Su's cousin and her mum coming down to stay over for the night. I was happy in a way coz the cous and Mummu get along quite well (Cous is millions of lightyears elder to mummu, so don't get me wrong there). Mummu is totally smitten by the cous.
But yday a strange thing happened. Just when I was putting her to bed, mummu asked me:
Mummu : Mumma what is this?? (pointing at her belly)
Me : (these questions are tricky and sometimes I pause to see if she will selfanswer)What is what??
Mummu : look here na, what is this??
Me : Thats your tummy
Mummu : My belly. and Yes this is my belly button. Mumma when I become bbbbbbiiiiiiiiiggggggggg na one day, then baby will come in my tummy. Mumma when will baby come in my tummy???

Me stumped, no, wait, superstumped. I didn't know what to say. I thought it through and asked her "who told you that ?"
Mummu : Cous

Me stumped again. Who's the kid here??? Cous or mummu??? called up Cous threatened her (if u so much as breathe such things infront of my baby, all ur diamonds will belong to me and those 30-40 tolas of Gold you will hv to donate it to 'Mycharityfund')???
What should have I done (considering that I m so bad at taking suggestions)??
More than that, I was wondering, is it time already to talk about stuffs(birds n bees, no wait, about baby-birds and baby-bees)??? And who should I be having the talk with first the cous or mummu?? Should I discipline mummu??? For the time being, she wudn't utter this nonsense infront of me, but, I m sooooooo damn sure she will utter the same nonsense infront of Meme, and knowing Meme, by the time, I reach home(remember I have joined work so I leave at 7:30 in the morning and reach at 7:30 in the evening), I might find strawberries in place of meme's cheeks and meme rolling on the floor with laughter(God Knows what wud that do to Sunny???).

Different

yet so similar...both these kids.

Sunny is 6 months old. And now he has decided to change his sleeping habits (Sighhhh!!!). If you know me, you know how painful that sigh is.

So now sunny wakes up as early (n i mean really early. IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS SUNNY, WAIT TILL U GROW UP BUDDY???), wants to be hugged and cuddled and wants u to play with him. Oh Jeez. I generally pat him to sleep, but then the poor boy won't sleep.
Just this morning he got up at 3am, played with me a little, but just wudn't stop crying. Somehow I put him back to sleep, n between crying and sleeping it was already 5 am.
I decided to give him his bottle of milk, and happily and with a cute smile dancing on his face he did pooh. After that he would just not let me be. I had to pick him up, soothe him, smile at him, put a bath, gave him a bottle of milk and after about almost an hour, he finally fell asleep. Phew. And then it was just time to get back to daily chores and get ready for work.

CHIKU -- when she was 6 months, would wake up early in the morning too, but I think around 6am, She would just want you to play with her, thats it. After about half n hour she would again fall off to sleep. There were days when we had to shake Chiku so vigorously to wake her up. Sigh!!!
