Growing up with Nathaniel; Week 170-179


07 June 2017
 
Week 179!
 
WOW... it seemed long time since I've last updated this space...!  This boy is growing up way too fast.  I really missed him in his "infant-form"... now he's learning to throw tantrum by taking off his underpants and kicking it in high in the air.  I served him his 1st stroke of cane (actually 2 strokes when he refuses to stop crying and fussing when I trying to get him to brush teeth and wash up) for acting that way yesterday.  #guiltymom


I always feel my son has very good memory - or is either that, I nagged at him too much that it actually embossed into his brain even though he act like he wasn't paying attention or repeat his mistake again and again... a lot of times he actually recites what I don't like him to do, what he did was wrong (during bedtime when he is with his Papa).... and he knew it why he was beaten etc, but he just being very ego at that present moment when I lectured him. #sigh #stubbornasbull #parenting


#thingsnathanielsays


He says "sunner-ni" (suddenly), "wrong-erly" (wrongly)...
