I have a 2yr old for company these days, its fascinating to watch him go zooming by on those puny lil legs, always on overdrive, always curious, always passionate and of course always cocky and sure about the ideas he's got in his minuscule cute head covered with floppy hair..
I could probably say tht he's always on a sugar drive, pilfering 'chocolats' from my secret stash and get away with it, but there's more to him than that...
Barely 24 months in, and he already knows life better than me,
no need for any of the profound philosophies, he's already got it all mapped out in his head ...
i am soo jealous of the little tyke who bangs on my door every morning at the crack of the dawn ( ok, who told him early bird gets the worm ? i didn't),makes me pick up stuff off the floor, return my dishes to the sink, close drawers and doors after i am done with 'em,chase pigeons out of the house, clean up after he's made ( ok i've made ) a mess...huh .. the list goes on and on ...
He's the strict disciplinarian mom i never had ( mine' too sweet to order me around, we jst fight stuff out ) with the authority of a retired old army general....sigh... but i doubt one of those uptight fellows could match his booming laugh or gentle insistent tug when he wants me to share his newfound treasure...
A heart so big, i want to plop him in front of an x-ray machine and figure it out; he is more caring, loving and understanding than anyone i've ever met before... to the point where
he'd even fake laugh to get me to join him.
Also did i mention that i am so envious he has no school , no homework, no exams, no cross friends, no crazy girlfriends ( tho he ogles at each one on the telly :P) and has a constant supply of xoxo ...
Do not get carried away by the rosy picture, he is also a big lil brat.. every time you say no ... there is relentless screaming, kicking , crying, rolling on the floor ... the whole rigmarole i've come to expect, carried on till the demand is met ... followed by puppy eyes and sweetest of smiles with all evidence of the recent storm vanishing into the oblivion....Trust me you'd rub your eyes twice , maybe even pinch yourself in bewilderment to know if what just transpired really did or you are losing your mind. Then perhaps you'd shake your head and lament being swindled by a two year old and promise to take this secret with you to the grave or you could write a 100 letter blog entry about it..Anyway you have been taken for a ride, by someone who has everything except worries and now has something of yours too. I don't think he's ever heard ; you cannot have your cake and eat it too. He has too much of sweet tooth to believe it anyway (sugar high, i am telling you!)
All in all it seems to me his life is exponentially better than mine following a progressive course ( obviously it helps that he doesn't talk this way, but i think that' s more because of his 50 word vocabulary than lack of nerdy charm ..don't you??...maybe i'll get him a thesaurus and find out, cool exp!!!!! .....
oops!! there i go again , now i've probably strengthened your conclusion of my insanity which probably began when you found me comparing my life to a 2 yr old instead of spouting love tips like any self respecting adult, but if you are still reading.... well i can't do much about that either...)
( so what's the word limit on stuff between parenthesis?)
To be contd...
