Parenting.. always amusing!

Yesterday, Champion was playing a bit roughly with me… and he ended up kicking my cheek. It was a bit painful.. as I could feel my jaw ache on the other side!

Concerned that he had hurt me and he could hurt others the same way, I had to caution him. I smacked his leg, told him that he should not kick people and asked him what he should say to me.

"Please.."

"Huh? Not please lah. You hurt me, so what must you say?"

"Please.. say please" he repeats.

"No, no.. that is the password when you want to ask something.. Now, you must say sorry."

He says, "Okay amma"

"So, now you must say sorry.."

"Okay amma.." as he was grabbing my hands that was trying to hit his leg. I was still waiting for him to say his sorry.

"I say.. say sorry" I continued.

Still laughing, he said, "Okay, okay amma.."

This went on for sometime..

Then I realised, this little boy now assumed I was saying sorry to him. Aiks!

We just ended up laughing. So much for parenting lessons! *sigh*

Aiyah was telling when Champion refused to take his bath. His Aayah told that he would complain to his Appa. Champion replied, "Sollu.." and did not budge from his place. He knows how to play his game.

sarah,
Thank you dear :)

Indeed he is :)

amma,
Now that he knows how to speak, he really can catch us with our words.
He knows who he can play with.. he knows he cannot mess with me! :)
Aiyah should have said, "I will tell your amma" and he would have moved himself ;)

hehehe i like the threatening ;p

geeth said...

visithra,
But he is not scared of it. Better still, he is getting used to it. Hmm, I wonder how much more tougher is it going to be as both of them grow up! *sigh* ;)

Yeap.. and I wouldn't mind those frustating moments when they are accompanied by these fun moments ;)

jazzmint,
Although it can drive us crazy, there is much fun in parenting, huh?
Sometimes, I forget that I was angry with them when they make me laugh with their antics!
