The little boy and the exhausted mom

You know I haven’t blogged for a while here although I’ve blogged on my other site . I’m just tired right now, I am without social life so I’m a little bit cranky nowadays.

The little boy is proving to be too much for us, eating is a challenge, sleeping all night is a challenge and shopping and eating out is another thing. We have foregone eating out as it was such a hassle for us, he’d make a mess of our table, he shouts and wants to roam around the resto and I’d get frustrated on why we have such a challenging child so we gave up on that and only eat at filipino restos as they are more understanding of a makulit boy and fastfoods aka burger king, kfc etc. Shopping gaaadd, I haven’t shopped peacefully for a while, the last time I tried I couldn’t choose properly because 1) he wants to be carried and 2) he wants to roam around. Discipline is another thing, it’s something that have eluded us for now. We can only shake our head and say “Ngano ning enter man ta ani (Why did we get into this?)”. Other times he is darn cute that we forget about how makulit he is. Sigh, the ups and downs of being parents, no?

Ok I’m going to post some of little boy’s antics as I might forget them.

1. Yesterday, we were having dinner, he was getting fussy and wanted to sit on my lap. So I told him “you sit” and like a parrot said to me “You shi”. Hayyy..

2. Everytime after bath he forces himself to pee on the carpet. Arg! He likes to see how the wee wee goes out of his peepee and he touches his weewee while doing it! tsk! tsk!

3. Last Sunday at the church, he wanted to go out of the children’s room so he said ‘outside’ grabbed my hands and said “go go go”. We had to laugh at that, silly kid.

He is very bulol and yungit so his words are not clear.
ae-pen – airplane
kaah – car
baba – baby
baba – bath (different intonation)
ow shoo – outside
te-ten = ten- ten
cho cho – totoy ( o yes we are teaching him that! lol!)
bo-bow – rainbow (it took a while for us to “get” this)
a-poo – apple
afu (used to be aff) – open

I know there were others but this tired Mom has forgotten.
