Terrible Two'sss

I have read a lot about the terrible two's and troublesome three's. But not in my dreams did I imagine it to be this bad. He has become a very different little person in the past few months after turning two. He has become independent in almost everything except cleaning himself after his poop sessions. He was always a bundle of energy but now it seems like his energy levels have gone up ten folds.I have read about atoms that move in such speeds if excited. When I see Dhruva running around just to expend his energy that is the only comparison that I can derive. Usually after his afternoon naps, he gets super-excited. I cannot imagine how a class full of excited atoms can be handled. He will be starting school from June this year and I cannot wait to meet the unfortunate teacher. I already have dreams of all the complaints that I am yet to receive from his school. I have quit my full time job as a Financial Adviser with a private sector bank to be with this little devil. In the past few months, he has started to watch endless television. His favorite show is Chotta Bheem. He has started to mimic everything this cartoon character does. The worst of it being kicking and hitting everyone. He comes running with a DISSHOOOOMM and throws a punch at his grand parents.I have quit my job just to keep him from watching TV and try to discipline him. His grand parents find it tough to say NO to his never ending wishes and whims. And now I have a fully grown monster who thrives on ice-creams, lolly pops and TV. Its been a couple of weeks since I quit work and Dhruva is slowly getting into a routine which does not include TV. I let him watch Winnie the Pooh a couple of times a week. His day starts with bed-paapu. He calls his milk, paapu.He needs his "paapu" even before he opens his eyes in the morning. Then I force him to wash his face and brush. By the end of the brushing session I am usually stressed out and have to call my husband a couple of times in between to help me. Then I put him on his high-chair and throw a few crayons and his coloring book. This keeps him occupied for about 20 minutes. After which I let him run around with his toy cars and trucks. He then has his morning meal which includes idly with ghee or cereal. He then begins his trek around the house with his great grand mom in tow. He watches the love-birds, helps my grand mom water the plants, helps the watch-man feed the dogs and gets into an argument with the poor old man everyday. After this I usually have a few chores and take him along with me around town. I usually carry a snack for him with some ice cold water. Then he enjoys the music on the radio and usually makes me change the station a few times before he is satisfied with the song playing. He likes listening to kuthu songs but prefers to listen to either the kolaveri song or a song from Mankatha. By the way he is a huge thala fan! After the trip I take him home for his lunch and then he retires for his nap.This is the times that I do all my browsing and recipe preparation for the evening dinner. This is also the time that I try to blog. After a couple of hours, he wakes and this is when the roof comes down. There is some sort of a chemical reaction that takes place that requires a few hours of sleep as a necessary ingredient. I have to be prepared with a plan to keep him occupied so that all of this energy is expended. I usually try making him run around the house, or play some football with him. Half way through this session I would be tired and need the help of my parents or who ever is around to continue the game. I try to feed him some fruit and milk so that he does not stay hungry till dinner. His father arrives from work usually after his evening game and keeps him occupied. He eats his dinner with all of us. Before he sleeps we try to read books with him. This is something that he enjoys thoroughly. I am already tired of reading his books more than few times. Then our day ends with a story telling session which would include all that he saw and did though the day. So far I have been successful in keeping him busy but I am already running out of ways to do that. Hopefully school should start soon. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to find more energy for the troublesome three s to come!
