What We Do All Day

I was tickled by one stay-at-home-mom who named her blog "what we do all day".  Those who work full time will no doubt have this question on their minds.

Indeed, what do we do all day?  To a 2.5 year old, his job is to play.  All day.  With anything and everything. To his caregiver, her job is to see that he learns something through all that playing. How do you keep a little person occupied and meaningfully engaged, when he has an average attention span of, oh, 2 minutes?  And come up with creative answers to repeated questions of "What's that?"  Not forgetting that in between all that, you need to keep his tummy full, bum clean and body healthy.  Plus you've got to eat too, have clean clothes to wear and make sure the kitchen and rest of the house do not turn into disaster zones.  You get the idea.


Sometimes we happen to be wearing some nice clothes.  And have time for a photoshoot.




Black woollen vest - essential item in every stylish toddler's wardrobe.  Looks super cool and most importantly, hides many food stains.
All that before the jumping kicks in.






Mostly, we just play and do silly stuff.







He is rather organised about his fruits and veggies (and egg).






But mess is always fun.


Discovering the magic of cornflour mix.



Playdoh-ing with real dough.



"This is serious stuff."







Trying to fit into things around the house is also fun.




Including mommy's shoes.
