Snow outside and inside

Its winter and that time of the year when a white layer on the road greets us every morning. A couple of days back, I was showing Aditi the thin layer of snow that appeared outside our home. I was busy getting breakfast ready in the kitchen, when the child decided to create her own snow inside. Here's what she did:
She picked up the salt shaker from the dining table and went across to the living room sofa to create her own patterns with the white salt. I was shocked to see the damage done to my sofa, but took some pictures to post it here. Aditi is not usually very naughty, but is in that stage when she wants to explore everything and this uppu kolam(rangoli with salt) was one of her experiments.
Have you had any such experiences? How do you handle it? Do you get frustrated especially because it happened during the early morning rush, when time is a constraint always? Take a moment and leave me a comment.

hi... wondered here from abha's blog.

Couldn't help noticing, aditi and my son Jason are almost of the same age. He was born on 19th Feb.

I could not make out what she drew, but it looks lovely. And yes, you should praise her, cos she showed effort, imagination and some artistic gesture.

also would like to add, aditi is very beautiful :)

Cool pattern, Aditi's mom. I wouldn't worry about it; as Abha said, keep the salt shaker out of reach and clean up the mess after coming home :). Technically, I wouldn't call this naughtiness but creativity!

The uppu kolam looks really cute :) Toddlerhood is an absolutely cute stage but it is also a lot of work and challenging for parents. Keep all breakable/spillable things out of reach like Mummyjan and Mama-Mia says :)
