Welcoming Rhea!

This day remains the most awaited one of the year 2012. After 38 weeks and 2 days of wait, we finally got to see our new baby on the 26^th of November. Another Sagittarius in our family!  Our baby girl is named Rhea, which means “Greek Goddess” in Greek mythology.

Gianna meets Rhea:

First few statements made by Gianna for her baby sister-

“Welcome to our planet, baby Rhea (when Gianna first saw her)!”

“Mumma , she is really really cute (while touching Rhea’s forehead)!”

“Mumma, why does she keep crying all the time?”

“Mumma, is Baby Rhea back in your tummy (when Gianna couldn’t find Rhea in my hospital room)?”

Gianna loves Rhea a lot and understands how to be gentle with her baby sister. Gianna knows that if Rhea is crying, the first thing to soothe her is to put a pacifier in her mouth. However if this attempt fails, then Gianna calls her mommy or daddy for help. Smart girl, isn’t she?

Gianna’s New Bicycle

She has got a brand new-bicycle and a brand new-helmet and was all set to go for her first bicycle ride with her papa. She was so excited that she got up early at 8:00 AM (she generally gets up at 10)!  

Once her helmet was on nice and snug, she held on tight to the handlebars and begun her maiden ride. I was so thrilled and surprised to see how well Gianna was maintaining her balance and pedaling faster on her very first go! Gianna completed her first ride with a smile on her face, “thank you for helping me learn to ride my bicycle” she said to her papa.

Happy Halloween!!

I'm a pirate...Arrrrrrr

First day to Preschool

It looks like yesterday when Gianna went to the playschool with all tears in her eyes. And today was her first day to preschool. Time flies! She was happy to go to school and meet her friends and teachers, but, she kept saying to me, “mumma! I am going to miss you”. Not much of my effort was gone to console her unlike last year when she was so scared of being away from me that she would wake up during midnights and cry for me.

On the second day, Gianna tried her best not to go to school, but was happy with the idea of playing in the play area in the school. I think that the long summer break of almost two and a half months is the reason behind all those tantrums.  It’s been a week now and Gianna feels happy to be back in her school.
