DIY Skills !

We did not realise how important is to have DIY skills until we bought our own house in this country. Being born and bought up in India our DIY skills were not great. Infact they are not that great still, but we both are catching with them as when the job demands and it’s not both of us, but our toddler is also learning with us.

It was really surprising to see her one day using the measuring tape on outside walls, while I was hanging the washing out. The way she was using it really amazed me and I had no choice except to grab

those actions in the camera. It did not seem one off but her love for the retractable tape is amazing. Enjoy her photos in action.

She picked up the use of measuring tape when she saw both of us using the tape while we were looking for the furniture and other stuff in the furniture showrooms. This also proves how clever the kids are in imitating their parents and watch out everything so closely.

Her screwdriver skills are noteworthy too. She does pick the tool when required, then play with a screw driver left and right and show us the perfect fit.

It is just so much fun seeing her doing all these and using the tools which is not meant for this age, but I think that is how the kids are, they never play with the toys, but always find things attractive, which are not meant for them!!!

Aditi is aware of the drill and its function. . So when in use, she would get a broom and brush is handy to clean up.
