My Life Happenings: some progress last week

Last week was a good week for us. Both the girls showed signs of progress in some way. First, Ami started taking naps without the swing. (I know...finally!) All last week I put her down in the crib no matter what. Surprisingly, she did really well the first couple of days because the weather was cool and cloudy. Now its a little tougher, but still not so bad. I'm sure if I did put her in the swing she would sleep better, but since she is learning to sleep in the crib I don't want to confuse her and start using the swing again. I'm hoping as time goes on she will get even better at sleeping. The next battle will be to get her to sleep without being bundled up.

Now onto Diya. She is making progress in potty training. I've dreaded potty training since the day she was born. Apparently, at day care they have been putting her on the potty every so often. So I tried it one day and sure enough she tinkled. I was so excited and proud of her. Of course I thought the first time might have been a fluke. So later I tried it again and sure enough...success! Since then almost every try has been a success. Though her diapers are still wet I think if we stick to it and put her on the potty every couple hours she might get the hang of it. My goal is to have her be diaper-free by the end of the year. Too much to ask for?

Next week the in-laws will be here and the week after I go back to work so a whole new adjustment period will start for all of us. When they visited last time Diya was about 10 months old and didn't have any trouble taking care of her in the day while Premal and I were at work. But this time they will be taking care of Ami won't even be 4 months old yet. So lets see if they will be able to manage her. Diya will continue day care cause there is no way they would be able to handle both the girls especially since Neha is not coming this time. She will definitely be missed big time.
