A typical day in Ashwini’s life:

7:00amwake up, get ready, some breakfast
7:40am leave home for daycare
8:00am breakfast at daycare
8:30am playtime i.e. read books, painting/art projects, etc.
10:00am morning snack
10:15am more playtime i.e. going outside on the slides, swings, sand box, etc.
11:45am lunch
12:45pm naptime
3:30pm afternoon snack
4:00pm play outside
5:00pm leave for home
5:30pm help(!?) Aai with making dinner
6:15pm dinner
7:00pm playtime i.e. watering plants in the garden, swingset, just running around.
8:30pm bath & getting ready for bed
9:00pm reading stories in bed and drifting off to sleep.

At the end of every day, I think about what Ashwini did and become very jealous. Sure, I have my freedoms, and get to make my own decisions and don’t have to wear diapers. But, still her life seems more attractive than my own.
