As I was sitting in my couch drinking my Jasmine tea in the living room, bb came over, peeked at my tea and he said “YUCK”, waving his hand saying not nice. I told him, yes mommy’s tea, bb don’t like, don’t drink. He only likes Teh susu from Hainannese shop.
After taking a sip, I place my teacup on the table. Bb was wondering around saying yuck yet again. I have 5 minutes to channel hopping before daddy took over for his soccer, channel 81.
A few seconds later…
I saw my tea all over the table; he just poured them out, cup still nicely standing but my tea all gone. I scolded him and make him said sorry, he felt sorry but never cry still very confident and went to play his Thomas & Friends train.
Daddy was watching soccer already, this time I was reading a book and bb still playing his train set.
Few minutes later…
I squeaked loudly at bb, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHY DID YOU DO IT AGAIN? DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO DO IT?” This time, he poured away his daddy’s Coke on the table. *slap forehead*
I “BUA-Ta-Han” liao, smacked his backside hard until he burst into tears. I made him say sorry again, he refused, I smacked again until he said sorry and not to do it again. While crying aloud, the monkey peeped at our reaction and kept wailing at the same time.
I just let him be and ask him to stop. I think he knows he was wrong; he is trying to see how far he can go.
It was quite fun, when he cry lately, I would say “ZIP” with my thumb and index finger moving across my lips. He would stop, if not, I will say, STOP NOW, big boy don’t cry, mommy sayang. I like to watch this, he would instantly gasp as if swallowing his breath from a drastic cry and suddenly he is quiet with tears still flowing down his cheek. Haha! I enjoyed seeing this. Only mommy can make him do that, not daddy, not anyone else. Woo Hoo…, I feel like I am a powerful mother. Hah!
BB, mommy hope you’ve learnt and not to act that naughty again.
