My two year old does the exact same thing. At daycare he is the cutest thing ever and loves to pick up everything. Often times he will be picking up long after the other kids have lost interest. At home, he is Hurricane Haidan and couldn't be less interested in taking care of the disaster in his wake. My wife worries about how perfect our house must look way more than me, but we still both wonder what happened to the child that we picked up from daycare.
My grandparents tell me that my older brother & I were always so good and well behaved until my mom came. Then, it was a gloves off brawl.
Maybe this all has something to do with karma? It does keep our lives interesting, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
