Rules and laws of Toddler-ingdom

 

Parenting toddlers should come with its own manual and rule book. How many of you agree with this?

From the time we become a teenager to the phase where we become a parent; we tend to be very focused, either with studies, work or household chores. Then suddenly we become a parent and our world changes. One of the best aspects of parenting is the funny and humorous situation and phrases we encounter as our children grow through those energy-oozing ones and terrible twos! As much as we do get exasperated with flour strewn all over the floor or the newspaper shredded into pieces, it does become a funny memory, looking back.

 

Here I list down a few rules, laws and logic of toddler-ingdom (A very real world where the toddler rules with his washable crayons and Lego toys)

 

 

  • One-year-old logic – Everything is infinitely tastier when on the floor than on the plate.

 

 

  • Removing diaper straps/resealable tapes is very relaxing.

 

  • Every tag of every dress is a better teether than the over expensive Sophie.

 

  • The Sajdah is the best time to strengthen mom’s neck and back by making her lift toddler weight.

 

  • Mom’s prayer times are designated time for the trial of new actions like electric plug removal, filling the ears with beads and opening the faucet.

 

  • Jumping into newly folded laundry is as rejuvenating as fresh, cold water on a summer noon.

 

  • The vacuum cleaner can be used as a walker.

 

  •  Your artistic skills should be displayed only on the wall or furniture, never on paper.

  • Every side table (with drawers) in the house now faces the wall permanently.

 

  • A 65 cm tiny human being needs 3/4th of the king size bed.

 

  • Ever door of the house is baby proofed and cannot be shut completely as long as the toddler rules.

 

  • Mothers have an antenna which signals every time they are extremely busy. These can be seen only by people younger than 2 years.

 

  • Every sharp instrument of the house should be stored at least five feet above the floor.

 

  • The daily dose of gymnastics for a 1-year-old should happen during nursing times.

 

  • If you are tired, it is always better to cry at the loudest decibel than sleep.

 

  • The best toys are in the kitchen.

 

  • Practising with mom’s phone for the future volleyball team.

 

  • Every adult conversation and actions shall be recorded for future use.

 

Parenting Toddler

 

  • One of the best sounds in the world is the crashing of glass cup and saucer on the hard floor.

 

  • It is extremely easy to melt a ready-to-erupt mom – give a sweet toothy smile!

May Allah give us Iman, Health and resources to bring them up in the best possible way. May He make our little children a beacon of hope for our Ummah. May He bless them with the best in both the worlds.
