Recently, my home looks like a storm hit it – and I am amazingly happy with all the chaos. I have a niece who is 2, and my daughter who is 10 months old at home right now. The reigning situation can be summarized by the following algorithm:
/* Keerthana is the 10 month old, and Shama is the 2 year old */
If (keerthana.state = ‘awake’ and shama.state = ‘awake’) then
begin
household.state = ‘alert’
household.activity = ‘separate brats constantly’
end
If (keerthana.state = ‘asleep’ and shama.state = ‘awake’) then
begin
household.state = ‘be careful while dealing with Shama’
household.activity = ‘keep shama happy – don’t say no or raise your voice’
/* She is very touchy now because she has been the centre of attraction all this while, and cries loudly at the drop of a hat 🙂 */
end
If (keerthana.state = ‘awake’ and shama.state = ‘asleep’) then
begin
household.state = ‘be careful while dealing with Keerthana’
end
If (keerthana.state = ‘asleep’ and shama.state = ‘asleep’) then
begin
household.state = ‘ENJOY!!!!’
end
One wonders when we can conjure up the image of 2 loving sisters playing harmoniously!
