[Anika 25 months] 12/15 Daily log

Anika has been recovering from a cold for the last 2 weeks. Its horrible that parents do not have a medicine or a way by which to relieve the little ones ( cough medicines are recommended for ages 4+). Papa is sleeping with Anika these days as we have Mom sleeping with Meehika. Meehika wakes up every few hours but she is feeding well. Once in a while, she has these stomach cramps or something which cause her to cry and fuss with eating milk.

 After Anika turned two, she has shown a lot of improvement on her language skills. She always asks "Horse.. Hindi?" or "Squirrel.. Hindi?" when she wants to know the translation of a word. It makes us adults scratch our heads to get the translation for the word. Anika has also become strong and really makes it difficult for anyone to control when she is in a fit of anger or she doesn't want to do something. Anika has a temper and can blow her top when she is not listened to. She pulls Papa's glasses away and sometimes even throws on the floor!

[Parents state]
Prateek has been making Anika sleep at night. She goes off to sleep relatively easily, but due to the blocked nose, she has labored breathing at night which causes her to wake up multiple times, thus disturbing the sleep of the adult. The cold has been going on for 3 weeks now. The lack of sleep causes Papa to be susceptible to cold/cough.

Mumma also gets intermittent sleep since she is taking care of Meehika. Mumma and her mom are taking care of Meehika through the night. Both are sleep deprived.  Here she is!
