We had a lovely time. This week was my brother in law's birthday and tomorrow is my mother in law's birthday, so on the way there, we decided to get a cake for them.
The kids had so much fun as usual, playing around, making a mess, dancing, singing, kissing & hugging... and also throwing some "Little Moments" (that's the name i gave to tantrums!)
They are getting into that stage right now and they are both testing us as parents.
Mona tends to throw herself on the floor while crying when she can't get what she wants!!! Yep!! It's funny though, because she would start crying and slowly slowly throw herself on the floor... she knows she will hurt herself if she does it quickly!! lol...
In the book i am reading right now, it recommends to ignore the tantrums and distract the child from the situation. I've been trying this out and it does work pretty well... except for the fact that Mona copies a lot of her cousin (Ajay)'s actions.
Today Ajay was climbing on the coffee table which has a glass top, and he was making a game out of it and each time her mum would make him come down, he would laugh and climb back up... it went on like that most of the evening and all this time, little Mona was quietly observing his actions and reactions! So after a while of course, Mona gave it a go... but as i also was observing her and even before she attempted to climb, i quickly grab her and told her that we don't climb on tables and gave her another toy to play with. And it seemed to work at the time. Now we have to see if she will give it another try at home or anywhere else... lol.
