Here Comes Trouble

Typical scenario at breakfast/lunch/dinner:

Mom and Rohan wrestle to keep Rohan on his chair at the dining table. Rohan agrees to stay, provided he's standing or leaning precariously against the back of the chair.
Mom: Rohan, noooooo! Sit properly baby, or you're going to fall!
Rohan: (happily) Fall.
Mom: No fall. Rohan will get an owie.
Rohan agreeably sits down -- for precisely 3 seconds. Then he's leaning on the table, climbs it. Mom firmly picks him up and puts him in his chair.
Mom: (pointing to Rohan's nose) Rohan, you are trouble. TROUBLE.
Rohan: (perplexed) Nose?
Mom: Yes, Rohan's nose.
Rohan (smiling toothily): No. Tubble.
Indeed.
Need I add the terrible two's have begun in full force Chez Muser?

Welcome back...a post after ages! I cannot believe he is talking so much already...awwww!

Mamma mia! Me a mamma? said...

My God! Look at how big he's gotten! You really should post more often!

As for Terrible Two's good luck! I'm battling the Torrential Traumatic Three's right now!

A Muser said...

Ana and Mamma mia, got lots to write, but no time... and the inclination's been low lately. Yup, he's talking quite a bit. Seemed like a switch turned on when he turned 2. MM, I feel for you! Raina had the Traumatic Threes. My boy is getting an early start.

Terrible Twos are a misnomer... my brat is still in the throes at four and a half...

Strapping him into a high chair was what worked for me at that age...

A Muser said...

Rohini, we gave up on the high chair months ago. It's sitting in the closet.

The darling!
Don't disappear again for such a long time, please!

A Muser said...

I'll try, Dipali. It's motivating when fellow-bloggers care.

Just now read this post loud to my husband. Perfect wordings that describe our plight with our toddler - barely 18 months - inclining on the chair back, climbing on it, what nots ... and giggling if we say he would fall! listens occasionally for a minute! :)
Good to feel connected with another mother going through exact same thing! :)
