Oh, don't be fooled by that sweet and tempting smile of her! She's a 2-year-old-toddler right now, and I am telling you, she's got that "terrible 2" tantrum, too! LOL Most often or almost always, she is the lovely and angelic, so precious little daughter of ours who tries to pretend and act that she's already an adult. Two going 10? Or 12? Sort of! That she can do what we can and we can't tell her what to do. Haha! Well, last night during bedtime was one of those very rare nights when she became so hard-headed. I know she's just a child, but last night was just terrible. It completely was a reverse of how good she was during dinner and afterwards when she helped dadi cleaned up our trash. She's a HUGE helper, a very trying-hard momma's assistant, but last night's bedtime was disastrous.Here's the scenario if you may want to dig in: :D
She's on her Wiggles, dad's on his pc, and I am on mine chatting with Ate back in CDO. At 11:30pm, she was still too active but it's already bedtime so after I shut down my pc, I asked her to end her Wiggle time for us to sleep. I never minded swithart because he doesn't need to join us in bed. Well, Triz don't like to stop her show even after 20 minutes of waiting. I wish I can just sleep right away but I couldn't when the main light is still on and the audio of her show is still hearable. I am the hardest when it comes to sleeping quickly and last night, I had a slight headache plus my eyes were needing a rest. She already felt sleepy because her eyes were already tired I can see and she was already lying in her huge pillow while watching. Because she won't stop her show after so many tries of letting her press the stop button of the remote, I did it. And after I did it, the disaster came in. LOL Everything for her was just "NO" and she got mad at me for stopping her show. Well, I had my fault for being too impatient already but I needed to be firm. 'nuff is enough and it's what I wanna teach her you know. I did all good things I could do to console her but she kept screaming and crying and she won't go near me. Just when she was really crying her heart out, dad came to the rescue and tolerated her for her doings- turned the player again, gave the remote to the toddler, let her stop it herself but the cries and screams were still there. Hah! Imagine our fight--all 3 of us! We're human after all, can you tell?
Well, in times like it, nobody else can stop Triz in her crying and screaming, not even the dadi, no matter how he finds way. Nobody else but me. And how? Simply by asking her if she wants to listen to my story. I did ask her, and that's when she came near me and gave in. Yep, that easy. She stopped crying and I started my story telling her of my childhood, that I was the most loved by my late father, her Lolo Jose, and I was never scolded or spanked. Not ever because I was obedient and everything my parents said during my childhood, I obeyed, and so it would be great if she would do the same thing. That what momma and dadi say, she'll obey. And then we said our sorries and iloveyous. I can tell we three learned our lesson last night, just like we do every time instances like it happen. The dad tolerates, the daughter was showing her tantrums, I was tough. But in the end, we three still agreed what's good and what's not. :)
