– It just so happens that during 95% of our waking hours, all four of us are within a 20 sq.ft. area. Don’t know why we need a big house. We should move into a small one-bedroom apartment.

– Adit is walking all around the house without any problems. His walking style reminds me of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster and all my grandmas with bad knees.

– Adit has learnt from watching that you put the phone on your ear and say “hello”. He misses out that little detail about needing a “phone”. If you say “Hello” to him a couple of times, whatever he has in his hand goes to his ear. Yesterday, we had a big laugh when he started using a ball and then a drumstick as telephone.

– Ashwini is getting so good at learning new words and using grammar properly. Don’t know where she comes up with these things that she says, but they just amaze me. A recent conversation while we were driving home: A: Daddy, can you please stop the car? Me: Why Ashwini? We are very close to home. Can you just wait till we go home? A: No. I am tired of seeing you drive the car. You should stop the car and take some rest.

I almost drove the car off the road and into a ditch.

– Over the weekend, Adit and Ashwini actually started playing together in the playroom without our supervision. It doesn’t last for too long. It takes about 5 minutes before we hear screaming and crying, but it is a beginning. We have hope.
