My funny baby

Some birds were chirping outside the window while we were having our breakfast.
M: Can you hear the birds singing outside, Rafa?
R: No!!! They are not.
M: Huh? Then what are they doing?
R: They are making noise!
M: LOL

Last night, while we were having dinner, he patted my hand quite hard to get my attention.
M: Why did you hit me?
R: I didn't hit you. (in the most innocent voice)
M: Then what were you doing to me?
R: I was just poking you.
M: *slap head*

My darling Rafa

Rafa was looking at Gabe putting on a new t-shirt. In the most earnest tone he said, "You look very nice, Ge-ge,". We were pleasantly surprised. And it also brought a huge smile to Gabe's face.

We've been reading a book called "Thank you, Wonderful Mummy!" for quite a while now. It has rubbed onto Rafa, cos now he says "Goodnight my darling Ge-ge" and "Goodnight wonderful Daddy".

I'm so proud of my baby. And he cracks me up with the things he says. :)

Conversation with Rafa @ 27 months old

While trying to nap today, he looked at me earnestly and said, "There's a lot of booger in my whole nose. Help me to take it out, Mummy". LOL

And finally, no more "Mummy, carry you please?" or "Mummy, give you some cheerios please?" or "Mummy, give you the toy." He has finally understood who "you" and "me" are and using them correctly!! Yay!!

Parenting woes

To scold or not to scold. To shout or not to shout. To cane or not to cane. Being a parent has never been so challenging. Sigh.....

But thankfully there are many a times when I feel that all the heartaches are all worth it.
