The Wonder Years

Time flies fast especially with kids around I guess. You are going thru the day and waiting forthe kids to go down so you can finally get …..to sit down ? But not so fast….still need to finish up your real chores!

Interestingly enough as new borns you always think of the time you will have once they no longer need to fed every 2 hours and as they get to 6 months you think …hmm it will be great once they start on solids and i stop breastfeeding. And then they turn one and you realize that you hadnt accounted for them being mobile now. So all your time goes in keeping track of where they go, what they do and the clean up after them.

Arjun and Rohan now are in a phase where they like to play with something up until they see that the other one has something else. So Arjun is playing with this bowl (or dabba as he calls it) and throws a side glance at Rohan. Oh he is holding a bowl too but that does look more interesting than what i have! So he manages to get it out of his hands and now I have Rohan angry. So the fighting starts. Most of the times I can work with this in the background but one day it suddenly turned quite. I really needed to finish up cooking their dinner so I let it stay quite for a few minutes. Should have known better by now right? anyways once i noticed, panic hit. I run across the room and i see both of them in the bathroom……will skip the details but i am sure you can all guess.

Jayesh and I were talking about this later that night and we observed that somehow they didnt need to fight when they were messing around in the bathroom. So obviously they were totally immersed in the activity and their toys are just not interesting enough. Some toy manufacturer needs to have a baby in the house to figure out what they really like.
