Testing My Patience
As Lucas is growing up and understand more things, he is also testing my patience. With my hormones change, sometimes this is not working well. Two nights ago, I was trying to dress him after his bath, he insisted that he wanted to go out to see his water bottle. I was trying to finish dressing him up so that I can tuck him in his bed. I told him 'Your bottle is going to say shame shame, you are naked.' Guess what was his reply..................
'Bottle cannot talk. Bottle has no mouth.' I was flabbergasted. From now on, I cannot tell him the kiddy excuses anymore.
For the past 2 days also, he has been waking up in the middle of the night crying and then ask 'milk and water please'. Wasn't sure if he was having a nightmare or what. I tried to pat him back to sleep but it got worse. He will start kicking his legs. This morning at 5am, I lost my temper and scolded him.
Me: Why are you crying when you wake up?
Lucas: (cry louder and start kicking)
Me: If you want to cry, go outside and cry. Mummy wants to sleep.
Lucas: (cry louder and continue kicking)
Me: Stop it!
Lucas: (cry louder and continue kicking)
Me: (ignore him)
Lucas: (after 1-2 mins) Running eyes (i.e. his tears are rolling down his cheek).
Me: Take a tissue and wipe it.
Lucas: Mummy wipe.
Me: Mummy didn't ask you to cry. Wipe your own tears.
Lucas: Mummy wipe. (and I did). Milk and water please?
Me: No, it is too early.
Lucas: Milk and water please.
Me: No.
Lucas: Water only.
Me: (I gave in)
This is what's happening at an ungodly hour.
