Sweet little promise

LO: "Mummy, mummy...shooby doo pleeez??"
M: "Mummy busy... go ask babah" *reclined *

LO went for DH and handed him Scooby-Doo Shiny Spooky Knights bedtime storybook. What a choice huh? I am starting to think she has a thing for spooky movies and books.

LO: "Babah , babah...read shooby doo pleeez...?"
DH: "Ergh? Mummy, mummy go ask mummy..."

After a few minutes of ting-toing here and there, DH gave in and read Little One the much desired bedtime story. Once finished, DH planted a revenge.

DH: "Ok, babah read for you already. One more time?"
LO: "Yeah !!" *nods excitedly for the generous offer*
DH: "Ok, you want another time, go to mummy. Mummy baca"

hah? revenge ye *Jeling DH*

M: "Oklah..come mummy baca. But one BIIIGG kiss first"

Emmmmuuuarrrgh!!

After I have read cover to cover, she asked for a repeat. Same book, same story. I reluctantly obliged, but said...

M: "Ok, one more time but this is one last time for tonight. Esok baca lagi. Promise?"
LO: "Owait...dis is lasss! Pomiss.." *nods and grins while kicking her legs to and fro*

After another quick round of bedtime story, LO reached for the book to put it away, ready for bed. Bagus stick to promise pun...

M: "Aik, wait! Kiss mummy one more time!"

Yes, I love getting lots of kisses from my dear daughter. I am lucky for she never got tired of giving me kisses!

LO: "Owait, but dis is lass..pomisss? Tomow sam moe" (Orait, but this is last..promise? Tomorrow some more)

Lesson of the day: Your child's speech and behaviour are very much influenced by you, you and you!
