These days life is busy. fun-filled and meaningful though sometimes the mundane routine does get me a little impatient. But it is precisely the routine that brings me freedom of sort and the predictability does help settle the kids more.
After school, I'll make it a point to give Hannah her bath and shre snacks with her. It is then that we chat about her day. And yes, a 2 year old can say a lot... it is amazing. The other day, I couldn't help it but gave her a light smack on her buttocks as she was just wayyy tooo cute! :) (sometimes i like to pinch her cutie buns too!!!!!) hahah... and to my surprise she looked at me and said " I don't want mummy beat backside!". I thought it was funny.. and proceeded to ask why... she said " It's pain pain... cannot beat people!" I went... oops. sorry!
(I thought it was quite hilarious as it is quite candid of her to sound out ehr thoughts but actually they make sense too...)
Today she came back and again over a bowl of soup i asked Hannah about her day and what she did. She said " I (had)sandplay. xxx throw(with throwin action) the sand." ... I went oh no! Was the teacher angry? and Hannah said... " yes....Miss xxx said no no... xxx throw the sand at Hannah and Hannah cry...Hannah no more eyes and face... all sand"
I was shocked! I asked her if xxx threw sand in her face and she cried she said yes...
I am going to call her teacher.. not to ask if the sand did get into her face but to verify what she said and find out how well she can now convey a message:)
kids... it's amazing how they grow. I hope our snack time talk will last a long time to come. One day it will be, how's your day at work? or how's that bf of yours? or how's your kids!!! ...someday... but i guess the relationship starts now.
:)
