Defending themselves March 12, 2009
Posted by Zara's Mama in : Zara, Zaria, chitter chatter , trackbackMy 2 years old
Zaria was naughty so I asked her to stand at the naughty corner, she was only allowed to leave when the timer went off (I normally set a timer on how long the girls have to stand at the naughty corner.)
Before the timer went off, Zaria went back to the play room.
I went after her, “Why are you not standing at the naughty corner? The alarm hasn’t sounded yet.”
She replied, “My leg is itchy.”
I told her, “Itchy also must stand. Go!”
Since itchy didn’t work, she tried again, “My leg is painful now.”
Trying to stifle a smile, I told her, “Painful also must stand! Until the alarm goes off. Go!”
She looked at me with puppy eyes, thinking I will give in, “My leg is very painful you know.”
A punishment is a punishment, I tried to hold on to my stern face, “Very painful also must go.”
She knew she lost the battle, she walked back to the naughty corner and stood until the timer went off.

My 4yrs old
Zara had “Colour Carnival” day at school, and she wanted to wear her ‘party’ dress to school.
I told her they would be getting wet and paint all over so she should just wear a t-shirt and pants to school.
She said she won’t get wet and paint all over and she would be careful in her party dress.
I told her it’s “Colour Carnival” and she’s supposed to get paint and wet. The teachers would even do face painting or body painting for them.
She was upset because she could not wear her party dress, so she complained, “Do you know there’s chemical in paint? And you want the teacher to paint on me? After the chemical get into my blood then how?” o.O”
Anybody needs defend lawyers? You know who to call.

My naughty corner doesn’t work – Lucas will cling to my legs or arms when I send him there
I TRY very hard to be patient nowadays esp as he’s wildly driving his car, pushing his scooter as fast as he can or running quickly to bang into me.
In the end, to avoid spanking him, he’s sent out of the apartment where he wails, looking in at me from the grille door.
Aargh…I thought terrible twos are over! Feels like troublesome threes are here???
testing
Impressed.. they are real good!!!
