Having a toddler at home is as equivalent as having a slow-motion tornado in progress inside the house every single day. Each night, the house
is cleaned up and tidied but at the end of the very next day, it would seem as if the house had
turned upside down. And again it is cleaned up at night just so that it can be
rattled up during the following day. And the routine continues.
But unlike the aftermath of a tornado, the activities of a
toddler inside the house bring a smile to the lips. After being used to seeing decades
of neatness (quietly ignoring the years of staying with bachelors!), it is
somewhat pleasant and nice to see someone innocently bring down the complete orderliness
of a normal home to shatters.
It is fun to jump around the toys and books just to go from
point A to point B. It is amazing to see the child take each toy each day as if
it is her very first day with it. And within minutes, one toy is discarded
mentally and physically in much the same manner just as soon as the eyes fall
on another toy. If it is not a toy, it is any object that the parent is holding
– whether it is a phone or the laptop or the remote or even utensils. The result?
A potato underneath the TV stand; a tomato on the bed; the
car key in the bathroom shelf; the spoon inside the sofa cover; the cup fallen
from the balcony grill; one shoe in the living room and its pair in the bed
room; cards missing from the wallet, post-its unpostable anymore,
Boy, it’s
fun to be with this tornado!!

Lovely Stuff
I am sure Paavani would be happy to see that you have captured all her antics well; however she might not be very happy to see all these on internet when she grows up and become a teenager. What do you think?
I doubt it, considering my post leans more towards my love than anything else due to her antics. Well thats what I think. We will ask her what she thinks when she is a teenager :)
