How do you be a mother?

She has a headache. I ask her to drunk milk. She refuses. I insist. She grumpily sips some then says she just doesn't want it. So I'm left with it. 

She's eating - dinner- it's taking freaking ages. She's creating couch slides as she eats. She!: dressing with a scarf as she eats.i get madder and madder and yell at her. Spoiling g her day and mine. 

So how I do be a non nagging fun mum who plays with the kids 

Piano

I'm 

Can't even say it

Deep breath

I may be killing akshaya's interest in piano by being draconian 

What's making me draconian?

Many thought competing in my mind interfering with the teaching 

1. Class is starting soon we need to practice! 

2. Other kids practice without their parents nagging or practicing with them 

3. Is me knowing to play the piano interfering with her learning to play , ironically

4. Is she being forced to learn against her will? 

5. Will she ever learn if we are constantly swayed by her desire to stop learning things? - swimming Also stopped . Devaram stopped . 

6. If her practicing depends on my schedule to practice with her that's not sustainable. It's stressing me out in the midst of taking care of the three kids the house the new house cleaning the house work ...

7. Then how about when she starts school. If I am to help her with Sch work all this of my work will continue to interfere with things. 

8. Is she just too young. Should we wait till she's 7 or 8 to take up piano? 

Ashwin talks and competes

So Akshaya was lamenting the loss of a bracelet given to her by her friend Katrina... Suddenly Ashwin pipes up... Seems his friend Veronica gave him a bracelet too! Ha! Like real! He just said it coz he saw... Friend ... bracelet... Gets lots of attention! I must do it too! 

Llove to see his mind whirring away like that! 

Today morning, I was tempting him with the prospect of eating out, suggesting dosa... And he calls out, Komalas not Gokul! 

Many firsts

Today 5 sep marks a special day of firsts for my littld baby...

She kind of crawled today! Purposefully pulled herself forward to reach things! A joy to watch! 

She went to church today- novena church, then went to get her footprint taken- God's cutest treasure 

She also cried with stranger anxiety for the first rind today... Which makes me ridiculously pleased! Haha u like it that she knows me and wants to be near me!
