Scene: Mr MG in the study room, MG in the kitchen, baby somewhere around the house, toddler running around the house.
Mr MG to toddler: "Do you know what is your mummy doing? Can you go and see what mummy and baby is doing then come back and tell daddy?"
Toddler (runs happily to the kitchen): "Mummy, do you know what you're doing?"
MG: "Hahaha. Yes, I know what I'm doing. I'm cutting fruits."
Toddler (runs happily to the study room): "Daddy, mummy is cutting fruits!"
At this age, toddler is very, very eager to help mummy and daddy around the house. "Can I help you daddy?" "Can I help you mummy?" can be constantly heard around the house all day. So usually we give her simple tasks which makes her very delighted. How to turn down these cute little offers to help even though usually it means the task will take twice as long and theres more destruction then help. Anyway, its a great way to teach but first must teach ourselves some patience to deal with the extra slow activity and more mess. Soon, she will grow up and refuse to help even when asked so better enjoy it now! Hehehe.
Scene: Everyone in the car while driving to the mall.
Toddler: "Mummy! Look at the sky, the sun so bright bright. The sky so colourful, so nice like rainbow like that."
MG: "Yes, sweetie. Thats the sunset. Isn't it pretty?"
Toddler: "Yes mummy. Look at the clouds. So white white. Got rainbow. Its going to rain!"
MG: "Hahaha. The rainbow comes after the rain and white clouds means its not going to rain, ok?"
Toddlers..... don't you just love them and their view of the world?
i have to wait for quite some time to enjoy that moment. gee, i wish i got married earlier. hehe
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Right now mine haven't got to that stage yet, of being messenger. Waiting eagerly.
ReplyDeleteThey are simply simply adorable, yes. Now we know how much parents miss when they work 'long distance' when their kids are toddlers.
ReplyDeleteMy brother has a toddler and I enjoy playing with him when they come out to PG from KL.
ReplyDeleteSo cute..!! i can't wait for chloe to be this way.. :) Already now .. she is showing all sorts of smart things to us.. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, better enjoy it now coz someday, she will be too busy with her own activities to be messenger for her parents ;)
ReplyDeleteHazel, You've got plenty of time to enjoy. Still young what you.
ReplyDelete5xMom, So what messages have you planned to pass through him?
Fishtail, Yes, the years pass so quickly that if you miss any part of it, you can't get it back.
thquah, I'm sure you have treasured toddler memories of your kids too.
mrst, in no time at all, in no time at all.

Ah, just like my Dania. Always eager to lend a hand. I usually let her help with the laundry (putting in clothes in the washing machine). Nowadays she wants to do EVRYTHING by herself.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should also blog about this. Thanks MG, you give me inspiration.
My niece, d little kid, aiyoh, really cant stop asking question & talking. Lucky my gf not like that... haha.
ReplyDeletewhen my cousin was that age, she looked at the moon and called it a "painting in the sky." I still can't believe it.
ReplyDeletereally? IIRC, i was the lazy one, never wanted to help - just watch TV. hehehe ;)

ReplyDeleteAnnabelle shout: "jie-jie! you want Milo nen-nen?"
twinsmom: "don't shout, go outside ask."
Annabelle went out: "jie-jie, you want nen-nen or not?"
