On Becoming Mommy’s Boy
Rule #1. “Put your hands together, close your eyes and pray…” before meal and bedtime. (But he doesn’t close his eyes but bow down his head instead. Sometimes I’ll do a spot check by peeping at him if he curi makan or not. He didn’t! Amen!)
Rule #2. Have meals always on the high chair and not in front of the TV.
Rule #3. Buckle up when you are on your high chair. (more of Daddy’s rule)
Rule #4. Wipe your dirty hands and mouth with a hankerchief and not your clothes. (Do you wipe your tongue too? He does!)
Rule #5. No wasting of milk and bring the bottle to the kitchen after you had finished it. (But I wonder why they always left 1 or 1/2 oz milk unfinished)
Rule #6. Keep the toys before you go out kai-kai and before leaving the living room for bedtime. (But not all the time coz sometimes I don’t have the patience to wait for him or when we are short of time)
Rule #7. Abide when daddy or mommy says “Let’s go”. (Else there comes the “magic stick”)
Rule #8. Wear your shoe when you are out from the house and make sure you wears it right.
Rule #9. Sit in the shopping cart always and no running around the supermarket.
Rule #10. Stand up by yourself when you tripped/fell.
Rule #11. Put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket.
Rule #12. Take and eat the biscuit one at a time. No eating like a Garfield.
Rule #13. Always on your car seat. Cry and fuss will not release you from it.
Rule #14. Clear your toys that are in the bath tub after bath. (He sticks the fish foams on the wall and put the rest in the basin)
Rule #15. Comb your hair after bath. (I used to comb for him but beginning to let him comb himself now. Of course I still have to complete the job for him)
So, how well did he scores? I’ll give him 95%. What happened to another 5%? Well, that goes to his tantrum, temper, laziness and not paying attention.

Jonathan so good boy. He willing to sit in the shopping cart during the shopping. Not like Sarah, just sit a while then started walking around.
