These days, Pea is starting to speak in sentence… Her most powerful ones alwiz (and no fail) starts with ‘I want!’ – ‘I want to drink milk’, ‘I want to eat ice-cream’, ‘I want Mummy’, ‘I want this’, ‘I want that’. If she doesn’t get what she wants (esp. the milk part), she’ll scream the whole house in ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!’. I feel that she is currently holding onto these 2 words (‘I want’, and ‘No’) as a weapon against us… *sigh*
My powerful words for her ? ‘No’ also hehe
Coz whenever she’s so demanding, I had to stop her with a ‘NO!’, which she will also say the same against me… it’s her against me… who wins in the end ? When she don’t get it even with the ‘No’, she’ll start crying loud… Most of the time I wouldn’t bother her, as I know I cannot give in to her that easy… at times, if she still don’t get it, she’ll fall asleep (haha… good tool to use esp. when want her to sleep), or she’ll go and look for other ppl to ’sayang’ her (like her daddy / grandmother / sister)…
Another powerful word for her is ‘Walk’… both girls like to walk, walk, walk and then run around in the house. If they don’t hurt anything, it’s ok… however, there are a few cases whereby Pea follows her sister and run and hurt herself… it’s nothing major, however it’s something that could be prevented if she wasn’t too engrossed with things and running. So whenever I see them running, I will shout ‘WALK’, and they’ll immediately obey (for a while)…
Pea’s crying is a weapon but we must not give in. Mummy must do her part that somethings she must tell the kids. Mummy will complaint to daddy but at times, she wants pea or pie to be naughty.
For example, pea or pie likes to hang around mummy, but mummy complaints that they often bang her head, hit her accidently…if mummy don’t want that, she should not let them too close. But mummy complaints to Daddy… and daddy would get upset….
