Raising Second Child was so easy....:)



The other day , over a cup of coffee Anshul and I had a really good laugh about how differently we have raised our two daughters, and how we were so much relaxed during our second one...

All this is Amazingly true....


Food 
First Baby     : All home made  food, full of nutrients- apple sauce, dal,
vegy soup specially prepared
Second Baby : Anything and everything that kept her full for a longer time.

Sleeping Routine
First Baby     : Should sleep at proper intervals. Nap-Play-Eat- Poop;Nap-Play-Eat Poop....
Second Baby : Put her to sleep everytime I wanted a timeout. 

But thank god , my second one was not fussy bout  not-sleeping at nights like my elder one. My elder one use to keep us awake the whole night , we use to literally wait till her grandma would wake up in morning and take her over for us to sleep.

Toy
First Baby     : I bought(or atleast tried to buy) every possible toy in store..whether it was her taste or not
Second Baby : By now i clearly understood that WHAT and WHEN to buy.

Story Sessions
First Baby     : All possible stories and rhymes that ever existed 
Second Baby :  Only Little Red, Beauty & the Beast and Cinderella on repeat mode.

Clothes
First Baby     : She had all new branded -U.S, UK, Vietnam,  stamped clothes
Second Baby : 3 out of 4 piles of clothes are of her sister's old clothes.

Parties
First Baby     : Beautifully Dressed .
Second Baby : Beautifully Dressed.

 No compromises in dressing up :)

Footwears
First Baby     : Led Shoes, Chu chu shoes and what nots
Second Baby : Simple - durable shoes.

Bathing
First Baby     :  Bathing in tubs  , Night baths and Morning baths with massages ...everything was religiously followed
Second Baby : Single - quick bath is more than sufficient.

School
First Baby     : She use to tell all about what she ate, what she studied and who all became her friends ...everything
Second Baby : She keeps it short and Simple..." I ate lunch and came back ". 


T.V Time
First Baby     :  30 min T.V time  per day.That too only Disney Cartoons
Second Baby :  I am sure she would have seen all possible Disney movies till now.

Pictures Clicked
First Baby     : Every single moment was duly captured and archived 
Second Baby : Most of the time she is confused whether it is her in the picture or her sister , so it covers up for lack of her alone moments.

And yet the Second child is always more pampered....How...By what calculations ??

Please pitch in your crazy moments too....

    You never say "No" to the younger one. It is always the first one who has to compromise.
