Durga is 8 weeks old today. She smiles, follows me with her incredibly beautiful eyes, and lets out indignant hollers if she's not carried around while awake.
Ani is 3 years old and is in preschool. He says, "Only babies go to daycare, mummy! Big boys like me go to preschool", conveniently forgetting that less than 10 days ago, he was still in daycare himself.
Ani is fascinated by Durga- for now. He gets highly tickled if she pees or poops, he says "Bless you!" when she sneezes, he thinks her flailing limbs are toys to be tinkered with, and he likes to put his nose into her mouth when she opens and closes it while hungry. He also sings to her when she cries, wipes her nose free of snot that arises from the various nasal infections that he bestows upon her, but gets upset with anyone holding her when he is hungry or sleepy.
Durga, in her turn, seems to know when Ani is happy; she is quiet then. And when she hears him bawling, she starts crying too.
Life with two kids. It is hard. But it is also getting to be quite a lot of fun.
