Kian turned 6 months today. He is doing really well. We celebrated his birthday with a trip to the Children's Museum with Kerala and three other little ones - one of them Kian's age and the other two kids are from Kerala's Spanish class. Kian really liked the crawling only areas and was super psyched to see himself in the mirror. It was pretty difficult managing him at Kerala in those areas though because Kerala could not understand why she couldn't go and play with Kian. Kian is getting faster with his inchworm crawling and is doing really well with sitting up. We are going to start him on solids this weekend, so we will see how that goes. I think he is going to pretty psyched since he is always eyeing what we are eating.
Kerala is doing pretty well. I say pretty well because we have been dealing with some major temper tantrums lately. The worst one was Sunday when she had a meltdown at the zoo because I made her hold my hand in the parking lot of the zoo. We have had similar meltdowns over the last couple of days - another one for holding hands in the parking lot, being upset over time outs for hitting Kian, etc. I have talked to other mother's of 2 1/2 year olds and, forunately, I am not the only one going through this. On a really positive note, Kerala used her potty five times yesterday. Today we had some set backs and she used it only once, but that's okay. We are making progress with potty training and I couldn't be happier with how she has been doing.
As far as some cute Kerala stories, every morning when she sees Kian she will say "Hi Kian. How are you? I am good, I am fine." If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she responds with "I want to be a firefighter." Also, if you ask her what she is saving her money for she will say "I am saving for college."
