This date was unplanned, actually: I took Paras to play outside and he got on this sad little bike we've had in the backyard that has no pedals and tried to push himself around on it. His legs were way too long and it was just pathetic watching him try to scoot himself along. So I packed him in the car and we took a trip to Target, and I let him pick out his first real tricycle. The had a floor model and he rode it around the aisles, and was so excited as we took it to the front to check out. Then we went to Friendly's for lunch (mac n' cheese and purple ice cream), and stopped at the ASPCA adoption fair on the way home to look at the doggies and kitties. On the way home he said, spontaneously, "I had a lot of fun, Mom," which made my heart melt.
Paras got to ride his new bike for the first time after his nap. Here is a video of his first ride:
Sahana, meanwhile, continues to grow. She's stagnated at the 3:30-4am wake up...I'm hoping that she'll stretch that out a bit more in the next few weeks. The weeknights are a real drag for me -- since Andy is not here, it's really depressing having to face the long night, not knowing when she'll wake up and for how long, alone. Andy has been a huge help on the weekends, though. Somehow we've found a good pattern of handing Sahana off so we can both have some time to ourselves during the day, and taking turns at night. The whole thing is just much less overwhelming than it was with Paras. I think part of it is that we now know that she's going to emerge from this insanity in another few months: it's easier to live in the moment and just enjoy her as much as we can, even though neither of us are infant people. Anyway, here is a photo of Andy doing double duty with Paras and Sahana:
