i need more week-ends

KJ 38 months old


2 weeks ago we brought KJ to Zen Q Dessert in Lintas on friday, after his music class.

and a week after that, after his music class, he remembers the place and he shrieked "Go There!! i wanna eat dessert!"

wow, i was amazed! and it was at night mind you.

never underestimate a child.

then, when he saw daddy's ipad, he asked "can i play with ipad ma?" A curt reply from me "no".

"why cannot? i very long didnt play already"

O.O

when there is a first time, there will always be a second. *smirk*

just 2 days ago, he whined for Leapfrog, means he wants to watch the DVD. i try to reduce, reduce, reduce screening time at home since he already watches TV half of the day in babysitter's house.

(i allowed screenings during his potty ritual before this but not anymore now because he hardly needs to sit on the potty to poo. whenever he wants to poo, he'll ask for the potty. to urinate, he will go to the loo on his own - pulls down his pants and shoots into the toilet bowl and leave. yes, without flushing. we are to be blame for this because both our toilet bowls' flushing system is not exactly working)
i want my own house!!!! :(

so anyway, again as expected my answer was a simple No. did i actually replied no to the kid? we should actually reply creatively, instead of N.O. n-o! perhaps say something like "can u read books instead of watching leapfrog?" distract the child. "do u want to read your dinosaur book?"

okok, back to kj. after i declined him, he fought back with " but i never watch very long already "

O.O

i am truly flabbergasted. i swear, i did not expect that to come from him.

Hor Fun

usually the dad will cook 'exotic', well not exotic but at least this chef-wannabe will explore and cook something different from our boring weekdays menu during the weekend. therefore im usually off cooking on weekends. but i still do need to prepare and plan ahead for the little kid. adults are more flexible anyhow, with diversified palate.
