Flawless Planning

It's been almost 3 weeks since we went out anywhere ..probably couple of visits to grocery shops, hospital and day care. Saahas was really upset about this and we knew it! We are avoiding the mall play area due to his wheezing and last week's illness. This morning he was too cranky and all I heard was 'NO' for everything ....I was completely exhausted by noon and my hubby suggested to take him to the library. the lil one over heard our conversation and from then was too good, did whatever I said. I felt he is really ready to get out! It takes twice the time to get ready in winter with extra layered clothes, mittens, jackets, scarf and a cap. Dressing up a hyper kid took me thrice the usual time. When I was abt to leave the door "Mommy Poo Poo " Alright ........ change diaper ... repeat the process ...get to the door... walk to the car.. start to drive in a heap of snow. Exactly after 1 min I turn and ask ' what are u planning to do in library?' I hear nothing ... hello ....nothing ... then I hear a snore .... my god ....pls dun sleep ... No response ..snoring even more louder ....my mind thot in 100 angles, made a U turn, went back to the garage thinking I will put him in bed and get back to my exam prep (really lagging behind so much). the lil slept on my shoulders and I felt I made the perfect decision of coming back. The put him in the bed , got changed and took a sip of water ...I heard him in the bedroom ...just peeped in and said ' Sleep baby' ... Godddd he was sooooo angry with lots of tears "LIBRARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" he dint stop ..I told him what happened ... he stopped crying , listened till I finished and said "LIBRARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" I want to go to LIBRARY
It took me hours to convince and atlast cailou(DVD) helped me calm him. I used to get paid for planning projects worth millions and I was laughing in my head. The DVD effect started fading slowly and I heard the same song again ...... pls gimme a break :-(((
I managed till swaroop returned, we had early dinner and started to library (same mittens,jacket blah blah blah ...) he slept in the car .........grhhhhhh Is this some kinda joke ? He was sleeping all the way, dint realize we were in library ...I decided to get some reading and chose a calm place.. The lil one snored so heavily lying in the stroller..few heads kept turning towards me. Poor baby, his nostrils are still blocked. Embarrased I gave up my reading and went to the kids area and waited for him to awake ...He woke up after 40 mins. Good! I let him pick the books and read him 5 stories. It was 9 the lights were off ... he still wanted to read ....I promised I will take him again . He said ' I will not sleep' ! That was unexpected and funny ....and made me forget all the trouble he gave me!

Lessons Learned: If you promise something, do it no matter what it takes! He is not a kid anymore to distract him with a lil sticker and change topics.
