Reading to the rescue
Yesterday I had to take Sarath to the doctor just for a regular check up. I had to take Sanjay with me as well. The clinic has a big aquarium which the kids are fond of. They also have some books and puzzles and the kids keep themselves busy until we are called inside. Yesterday,…
Terrible two’s???
Today was one of those days where I wish I could put myself in a time out and only come out when the kids are in bed. Sanjay drove me crazy today. I am not sure if it is terrible two’s or something much worse. He woke up in the morning and started crying and…
