WEEKEND RAMBLINGS

This weekeend it was kind of bleh.. I spent the entire weekend coughing,sneezing and wiping the yuck out of my nose.Jenna ended up with an ear infection and is on antibiotics ,poor baby! But she is so much better after the meds.. The virus did not leave poor hubby too,he ended up with the cold .. So the entire family is sick..

But we enjoyed our stay indoors.We watched the movie Dial M for Murder,some George Carlin Videos.We ended up staying late night watching the cricket match between India and England. It was a nail biting match.Loved it..

Jenna had her share of fun too,she watched Barney and Dora, was playing quietly by herself which does not happen often in this house.

Sunday,we watched the Oscars.I love watching the red carpet,thats my favourite.I havent watched much of the Oscar nominated movies except for 127 hours.I need to catch up on the following Oscar Nominated movies: Black Swan,The king's Speech and Winters Bone.

SICK!!!

Dealing with a sick toddler is not easy and the last few days were quite difficult for all of us. Jenna is down with fever and cold.She was crying throughout the day and the watery eyes and runny nose were not making it easy for her. I did not know what to do to make it better for her. I called the doctor office and the nurse says the same old,give her a warm bath,give her lot of fluids.She is feeling much better today and is almost back to normal. It really breaks my heart when i see Jenna not her normal self and sick.She doesnt fall sick easily but if she does it really knocks her out.

VALENTINE'S DAY

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's day and i dont know why.. but of course we celebrate any occasion so why not Valentine's day.This time Jenna wished daddy Happy Valentine's day and together we made a card and she colored it or i should rather say she scribbled with color pencils .Daddy was ofcourse touched by this. In turn Hubby gave each of us a heart shaped chocolate cake with our names written and both of us went all awwwwww over it and ate it almost immediately and wow,it tasted damn good.In the evening, we went for dinner to an Italian Restaurant at Old town Pasadena.The food was good and we had an awesome time.But i was super full at the end that if i had seen another plate of ravioli or pasta i would have puked.And hubby asks do you want to have cheesecake for dessert??The idea of eating anything for that matter didnt go well with me so we returned home after dinner.The day was spent well with the two persons who i love and will continue to love throughout my life...I know that sounds so mushy but well thats a fact : )

POTTY TALK

No Mommy blogs go without potty talk and it's my time now..If you have been reading my blog for sometime now ,you would know about my failures in training Jenna to use the potty but finally i have succedeed.YAY!!!

Last year after several failed attempts i lost hope and i had this vision that Jenna would be wearing diapers for a very long time and this year i decided that i have to train her .Jenna was ready from the time she was 18 months but will not sit in the potty,i would say she was just stubborn .On Feb 2 nd i started with utmost confidence that i will definitely or should i rather say together we will succeed in this mission.The advantage i had was Jenna never pees on the floor,she wants the diaper to do her business.So well i just hid all the diapers and said we have no more diapers . When it was time to go, she begged ,pleaded and cried with me for the diaper and when i was about to give up,i just thought Ok !let me try one last time and made her sit on the potty and she peed.I know she could not hold in anymore..Thank you Orange Juice and Water!!!I gave her stickers and m&m's for her success and she finally got it.In the last five days,she had had only 1 accident and thats because i was late to take her in.Initially she didnt want to poop in the potty,only pee pee and from day 3 she did both.I'm amazed at how fast she got trained ,i'm so proud of her and she says she is Big Girl.Night time she is still wearing pull-up and i think it will take some more time to master that.Right now,day time she is completely trained and i'm so relieved : )

WE ARE BACK!!!


We are back from San Francisco.This is one of the places we frequently visit because a) it is closer to los angeles b) we have lot of friends here c) We have many indian restaurants out there,(there are lot of restaurants in L.A too but this is the authentic indian food and tastes much more better than the ones around here ) and this time i had one of my school friend visiting sfo on a business trip from India .We showed her around the place,we visited the Golden Gate Bridge (for the eighth time)Fisherman's Wharf and the Union Square..We ate lot of biryanis,dosa and spicy chutneys too.. yumm!!! Jenna was at her best and enjoyed the trip as much as we did,food not that much..she is not a fan of Indian food right now!I hope thats a phase and she will start enjoying homemade indian food soon.She enjoyed the french fries and chicken nuggets.


I had lot of fun chatting with my friend ,just gossiping and talking about stories from school days... School days are the best.She will be visiting us before she leaves back to India.Maybe next time we should do some girly stuffs,maybe go shopping and do some mani/pedi. Altogether it was a fun trip : )
