Toughest Job You'll Ever Love :)

Why do two year olds have to negate everything we say eh? Ini excerpt dialog yg selalu kedengaran di balik pintu rumah kitaorg:

Pakai seluar? No!!!
Change your nappy? Nooo!!!!
Wash your hands? Noooo!!!
Sit in your buggy? Nooooo!!!
Brush your teeth? Noooo!!!
Sleep? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Haih.. menguji kesabaran betul. Sebenarnya kalo kita x terdesak mengejar deadline or waktu nak clock-in kerja, x la problem sgt. Bole la mengaplikasikan yg Supernanny Jo Frost tu punya teknik. Since most of her techniques involve not giving in to children, yakni kalo diaorg acting up, just say, 'We're not going anywhere until you behave', and tunggu la sampai budak2 give in (to establish authority and utk menujukkan crying doesn't get you anywhere or anything), sometimes mcm x sempat nak pakai jgk la, especially kalo time nak cpt tu. Haih, mmg rasa nak nangis jgk la handle, especially kalo handle sdn bhd, i.e. Hubs gi keja or class.

Apa bole buat, typical two year old mmg mcm tu, tanya la sapa2 pon yg ada toddler. Most of the time Aisyah is considered well-behaved pon, so for that aku dah bersyukur dah. Tp on my part la, kena lebih sabar dan sabar dan sabar lg...

Apapon, marah kat budak2 ni x lama. Especially bila buat aksi2 sebegini...

[1] Time x nak pakai seluar, insisted nak pakai sepender 'Frog' aje. Isn't it the cutest thing you ever saw, tho'?





[2] Time ni dia bg org buat mcm2 kat rambut dia, even braid pon dia layan. As of late ni, masuk fasa 'dont-touch-my-hair', alang kan nak tocang, sikat pon dia x bagi. Sudahnya rambut free-style spt gmbr dia pakai pyjamas Dora tu. Grrr, tp sabarrrr....





[3] Time 'I'm-not-staying-put-for-pics'. Susah betul nak amik gmbr ngan dia skang ni. Celebrity pon x mcm ni. Lom sempat snap lg dah lari ke lain.



[4] Time 'I'm-not-getting-in-the-buggy-and-you-can't-make-me'. Sila fokus kpd muka si Ibu yg sedikit kebengangan di situ, tgh menarik napas pjg agar maintain cool.



[5] Time menjerit panggil 'Duck!!!!' (actually, it was a seagull that she'd seen). Vokal dia sgt mantap ok. Ni pon satu lg demonstration of 'you-can-take-my-pic-all-you-like-but-I'm-not-posing-for-you-ha-ha' punya kes jg.



Yup, two years old. Where tantrums rule at the moment. What a difficult age this is. Mind you, ten years from now pon, aku rasa aku still akan ckp, 'Twelve, what a difficult age this is', when puberty hits her and all. Alah, dua puluh tahun lg pon aku still pikir mcm tu jgk kot. Nama pon parents kan. Sbb itu la x leh menderhaka pada ibubapa kita. Bkn senang keja ni rupanya. But soon they'll grow up so fast, and we'll definitely look back and be missing days like these. then we'll say, 'if only we could go back to the time when ...' ahhh... tiba2 terasa tua :)
