Introducing Mr. Whiny

I have never been a true believer of the “Terrible Twos” concept because I think it’s only part and parcel of children growing up and has no direct correlation with the age. The fact that they are getting older, usually just spells trouble.

Bryan is 21 months. He is definitely a personality of his own and is learning to assert his wants (mind you, not his needs but his wants) by whining when he doesn’t get what he wants. At times, he runs out to the living room and throws his entire torso onto the couch. Real drama king!

A few recent examples:

B: (pointing to raisins)…Want!
M: No, you didn’t eat your porridge tonight so you can’t have this
B: (whine & cry)

M: (cooking dinner)
B: Hold…..(grabbing my hand and pulling me to the living room to watch Barney)
M: Mummy has to cook….Bryan watch Barney with kakak ok?
B: (whine & cry)

M: Mummy going to pom-pom
B: (whine & cry)

B: Papa, park
D: But it’s raining……come we go and feel the rain
B: (whine & cry)

M: Breakfast is served
B: (looking at the bowl of yoghurt & cereal) (whine & cry)

Get my drift? I’ve been letting him cry because it stops in 2mins flat. I would probably not be able to pay as much attention to Bryan when I have the newborn, so better I start sending signals to him now rather than later. Don’t want him to despise his little brother, right?

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.

Is there any way you can remove people from that
service? Bless you!

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any
solutions to protect against hackers?

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than
just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But think about if you added some great graphics or video clips
to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this blog could certainly be
one of the most beneficial in its field. Awesome blog!
