Well, what a week this has been...starting with Valentine's Day...
Valentine's Day used to be the type of holiday where it mattered where you went to dinner and how many roses your man gave you. Well this year was very different. I woke up in the morning with my amazing husband, Raj by my side and my dog, Tyler snuggled up under the covers. Neil woke up with the biggest smile ever and it got bigger when he saw me. And Priya ran across the hallway and into my arms and said "good morning mommy, I love you!". That was the beginning to a great day that wasn't about where I was being taken for dinner or how many flowers I got, but rather about being with my kids and my husband. After the kids went to bed, Raj and I had a glass of wine, watched a movie and ate chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't have asked for a better end to a great day. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Oh, and here is a picture of Priya with the flowers and teddy bear she got from her Nana.
Well, after a great start to the week, things didn't go down hill, but dealing with a teething 4 months isn't all roses and wine. Neil has been teething for what feels like an eternity, but really only about 4 weeks. Nothing seems to make him feel better and I've tried everything - teething tablets, teethers, Tylenol, etc. He does spend a lot of the day biting the face and chewing the legs of his Sophie the Giraffe teether, but it still doesn't seem to do the trick. So, while trying to find something to help soothe him, I stumbled across something that would also help me to look cute. Teething Bling is this great jewelry that looks cool on Mom and is totally safe for baby to chew on - LOVE IT. I just got mine yesterday in a beautiful peridot color and Neil loves it as well. So while I can't do much more to help him feel better, at least he likes to chew on my necklace while snuggling up to me.
And to round out the week, I was christened with my first early school pick up due to puke AND my first mid-night puking clean up. Now I really feel like a Mom.
Happy Week!
