Random Ri List #2: You know you are travelling with a toddler when….

  1. You spend most of your time in the hotel’s bathroom. And we’re not talking about bubble-baths here! Pass me the bottle brush will ya?
  2. You try to make yoghurt in your hotel room because your toddler refuses to eat anything else. Does the fact that toddler did not eat room-brewed yoghurt ( sounds a bit ugh right but it’s not really that bad) count as a third point. Probably not. But, I had to mention it anyway.
  3. Your eat ‘paruppu sadham’ for room-service dinner, leftovers from toddler. Do you know how much a resort charges for ‘paruppu sadham’ aka
    ‘daal chaaval’?
  4. You allow toddler to drink Mirinda to avoid a scene in the airport. Exactly what a child who is already running around needs right?
  5. Much to your relief, your child eats pureed banana for lunch. You pretend not to read the fine print that saysSuitable for Sitter Stage’.
  6. You pay the airline extra baggage to carry Fisher Price’s Froggy Seat? Fine let’s not mention the 120 matching hair-clips for toddler’s outfits.
  7. You spend a mentionable portion of your vacation on the floor. You’re searching for the aforementioned hair-clips that your toddler insists on plucking out of hair in 2 seconds.
  8. The books you longingly bought for your vacation came along for the free ride. Probably contributed to the damm excess baggage as well.
  9. You take turns going for the buffet breakfast with your spouse. No point in changing todder’s morning routine.
  10. No lounge-chair by the swimming pool has your bum imprint on it!

  1. Heyy Hi
    Came across your blog from Parentree
    Haven't read your other posts yet, but the two in this series had me grinning ear to ear. I LOVE list 2, esp !!! Travelling with these kids is one hell of a challenge and I don't know why I do it over and over again...there's always something called HOPE deep down there somewhere I guess, that vacations will be vacations again some day :-)
