Why has mommy not posted in the past few days..

..Well heres what the past few days have been like for her:
7:00 am- Wake up coz I have woken up whiney, cranky and upset.
7:00 am to 7:30 am- Sit with me in my bed, asking me to calm down and to explain to her why I have been howling.
7:30-8:00 am- Sit with me in the rest room while trying to brush my teeth and figure out what Im whining about.
8:00 am to 8:15 am - Clean up the living room after I have thrown up. Clean me up and change clothes (both hers and mine)
8:15 am to 8:30 am- Try and feed me oatmeal so that she can give me some tylenol for the high fever that has been spiking the past few days
8:30- Give up on the oatmeal and suggest eggs instead..So cook some eggs and try and feed me that. I dont like either..so fresh round of throwing up!
8:30 am to 9 am- Clean up , run washer, call up the drs office, make appointment, search for car keys (while carrying me around all the time)
9:30 to 10 am- drs clinic, dr suggests urine test so collect sample containers, fresh round of tears from me, oh and fresh round of throwing up at the drs clinic.
10 am to 12 noon- More whining and crying and refusing to eat and more demands to be carried around.
1 pm to 3 pm - Sleep for a bit so mommy can shower in peace and get some work done.
Spend all evening curled up in a little ball on the couch..refusing to eat.

wake up 3 times in the night to complain of ear ache and oh wait..to throw up too!

So thats how we spent Sunday at our house!
Im better now. Turns out I have borderline UTI which may explain the fever. So I am on some antibiotics. Meanwhile the lab is running further cultures so that we learn more.
Actually the fever and the general sickness may also explain why I was turning into 'that child'.
Where was dad during all this drama you ask?? Well he was right here, but for some reason I decided I wouldnt let him hold me, touch me or even be in the same room as me :(

Im turning into 'that child'..

..You know that child we see at the park, the one who shoves other kids, the one who throws huge tantrums, the one who makes shake your head and say "Oh God that child is here again!"

Mommy is very upset with my behaviour :( She has tried reasoning with me, tried time outs, has tried ignoring..but nothing seems to work.

Monny knows its all a part of the terrible twos fun package..but this tantrum thing is getting rather old now.

Anyone with good suggestions?

And now for the results of the allergy patch test

For those of you who have waited for the results with bated breath...The results are inconclusive!!! After all the annoyance of the past 3 days and all the suspense..thats what the results say!!! Turns out I have an angry back and thus react to almost every allergen..doesnt mean Im allergic to them all.
Mommy is very upset that we are back where we started..we know I have allergies but we cannot figure out what the allergens are :(

Allergies update

We went back to the hopital today where the Dr removed the patch..She stripped the entire bandage off in 1 quick move and I howled my little lungs out :(

Anyway I have reacted to 10 of the 12 allergens. Right now I have an itchy, scratchy, red back..theres even a name for it..'Excited back'!!

Tomorrow some of the 10 flare ups might subside and only the ones Im really allergic to will be red. So we will know more.

Allergies Revisited

In the past 2 weeks I have had atleast 3 episodes of allergies..swollen eyes, itchiness, redness of face..We did an allergy patch test today and should know more on Wednesday.
Right now, I have 12 different allergen patches taped to my back and IM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Months of the Year

January, February, March, April, June (For some reason I always forget May), July, August, September, October, Cucumber, December!!!

This time last year..

..we had left the US to relocate to India. We were all terribly sad about leaving the place that was home to us. We were worried about how we would settle down here, worried that we would have no friends..worried about oh so many things (you know mommy..she worries about everything!)

Its been exactly a year since we said goodbye to our lives in the US and moved here..so how has the past year been you ask?

In a nutshell..Its been good. Yes of course the first few months were tough and mommy missed everyone so much..but slowly as we found our footing here we realized we were settling down fast.

Of course we still miss people from our life in the US, ..mommy specially misses her sister and is very very sad that she hasnt got to see our baby boy yet...
The good news is..mommy and daddy have found some awesome friends here too..people who made this whole transition easier..thank you people! and of course the biggest plus of moving back here for mommy is that she gets to see her parents often and I get to enjoy having ajjas and mamamas unconditional love in my daily life!!

My peeps of SFO, we still miss you..People of Blore, thank you for helping us settle down!

A new year..a new school

The new acedemic year has begun..and I started at a montessori this past week. So far I'M LOVIN IT! The first day, when mommy dropped me off at the school, I turned around and told her "You go home and make noodles for me"!!

My latest wishlist

..A step mother!!!!

Mommy has been reading to me stories about Cinderella and Snow white...Thank you paapu for the wonderful books..(mommy says she is going to have a word with you about those books though!)
And one thing thats common in both stories is..that they both have step mothers and that brings to my notice that I DONT have one ..so everytime mommy reads me one of these stories, I ask her to get me my own step mother!
