Lollipop & lemon drop!!

I blinked twice & 2 years passed since the birth of Kavya & Oviya. When they were little babies, we did everything for them. We changed their diapers, wiped & burped after every meal and chose their dresses. But as they get older, they learn to do more things for themselves, from pulling off their shirt to getting their own bowl of snacks. Watching them grow increasingly independent was bittersweet, but learning to take care of themselves is an important part of their development.

After the second birthday Kavya and Oviya seemed to have a sudden growth, having an increased rate of thinking and acting. It also seemed very tough to make them sit in one place. They hated to sit in a car seat or stroller. Shopping with them was a nightmare. Each one runs in each direction & throws all the items from each rack. Finally we get tired of managing both & would return home empty handed without buying anything :-P .
On the other hand, they showed abundant love & affection, gave kisses & hugs, showed lot of expressions and emotions. So, I guess this 'Terrible Two' is a multi combo of all the extremes :-).

Nov 30 2013- We desperately needed a winter break on our 5th wedding anniversary. So, we had an awesome 3 nights indoor water theme park trip to the Split rock Resort, Poconos along with Yuvi's cousin brother's family. We started early( which is quite rare :-P ) after the complimentary breakfast. These two are always ready to go out ;-) . All of us had an amazing fun in the wavy pool, water slides, kiddie pool etc. When it was snowing outside, we were enjoying a warm water pool. How cool was that? :-).

Dec 8 2013- When we came to the real world :-P , we experienced the first snow of the season. Kavya, Oviya & Snowy were thrilled, surprised, exuberated and showed all kinds of reactions :-) . They were wearing the fully covered snow costumes. Even Snowy got his own jerkin. They walked & walked in the snow leaving their first footprints on the fresh snow.
