    Santa Clara. I assume you live in Kentucky?

    Do your LOs have a fixed bedtime? I have a hard time making bed time stick. Avi usually sleeps anytime between 10 to 11 pm at night. If I try putting him to bed when he doesn't want to, he simply climbs down the bed and starts running around the house. He is like the Energizer bunny. Never runs out of energy. Right now his biggest fascination is with 'copikers' (Helicopters). Aeroplanes, choppers and rocketships are all 'copikers'. :)

    Hello Ladies..


    how are you all doing today..
    i was very busy since yesterday attending my cousin's wedding.
    went there yest morning and had full fun..
    missed DH.
    he couldn't join us coz of some last minute work..

    Big diet violation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    had loads of good food..
    needless to say southindian marriages have a variety of food...

    yest was the reception and i made sahana wear a new salwar... looked really good on her..
    her 1st salwar.
    Sahana was ok till 7.15 then on she slightly started her tantrums..
    mom and dad tried to manage her but she wanted only me.
    so i gave DS to mom and played with her...

    i wore a heavy work designer sari, which i had to remove soon to be with sahana!! poor me...

    I was so happy thath she slept when we drove back home...
    toady was again a day filled with events.
    just back.
    thought would say a hi to all of you..

    hope all well here.
    very tired.
    bye girls.. gotta catch with some sleep now..


    Aparna

    Hi to all toddler moms..

    My name is Priya, mom to 14 month old Ananya!
    Originally from Mumbai, living in Northern kentucky..
    Trying my best to juggle work and home ..have had my ups and downs .. would love to hear tips and experiences
    from everyone here. .

    Raj..Congratulations on your pregnancy !!
    Ria must be so excited to welcome another LO :)
    Ananya sees any child and starts her chant - "Baby ..Baby.."
    My belly doesn't help either.. everything leads to people asking if another one is on the way ..:redface:

    Saritha...I am definitely IN on the weight loss... need all the motivation I can get.. !

    Gauri.. Sleep time is a big challenge for us too..
    I try putting her to bed from 9:45 P.M.. If I am lucky, she will sleep at least by 11:00..
    She gets distracted very soon and even if she is very sleepy she will jump and start talking if anyone
    enters the room ..so our bedroom becomes a strict "No Entry" zone during that time..

    Aparna.. hmm..traditional south indian wedding food.. I am drooling .. :drool
    No Diet violation here.. a few pounds here and there .. no match !

    Hi Priya. Ananya is a lovely name. I too had considered it for the LO until I found out it was a boy.

    Weight loss seems to be on every toddler moms list! I must give credit to my baby who has helped me lose 15lbs simply by nursing. But I still have another 20 lbs that I sure would like to lose. What weight loss strategies are you ladies using?
