Another night time story…
Rather hectic day today.. farewell rounds seem to have started as we prepare to leave for Pune next week. Went to a friend’s place for lunch.. then a get-together with more friends in the evening. When we got home it was past eight. Since the kids had had rather heavy snacks quite close to dinner time I thought I’d do away with dinner. So I gave them a banana each and took them to bed.
After our story routine.. I thought I’d see some peaceful sleeping. However, that was not to be! After a few minutes of silence H sat up staring into the darkness. I called out to him, asked him what was worrying him. “I’m hungry,” he announced. Thank Goodness for bananas. I handed him one then waited patiently. He made his way through two of them. (It bugs the hell out of me that the entire brushing routine is down the drain).
Obviously N had to follow suit. H slept off and after telling her to sleep on her own I came out. Ten minutes later I see her peeping from behind the wall. Apparently she couldn’t keep the banana down and messed her diaper. So back it was to washing, putting on a fresh diaper and tucking her in.
