….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
I am probably the closest person in the world to Tee, in that we’ve had the most time alone together than anyone else; and this is pretty obvious when she speaks because she speaks exactly like me!!!
Because she is a typical preschooler, she’s always dawdling when we need her to be fast, especially when it is to get to school on time. I’m always heard with silent threats in the morning, warning her that if she didn’t brush her teeth immediately or get dressed quickly, then Daddy would get really angry as he would be late for work. This is a lie because really, I just want to get her out of the house as soon as possible so I can get back to bed, or get on with my own agenda without answering a million questions.
Lately though, she has been doing the same back to me. Whenever we’re due to go out or if she wants me to do something for her, she’d run up to me and whisper, “Mommy, you better do it quick or Daddy would get really angry…..” in that very same I love you so much so I’m just protecting you from trouble kind of expression on her little face. Her eyes just crack me up.
It is hilarious because Daddy plays no part at all in this camaraderie yet we’re both just using him as a means in getting what we want. I truly wonder though, how much Tee knows or understands our little game and if she really believes that I would be fearful if Daddy did get angry at me for whatever reason.
Children are truly cute and innocent.
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....
To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.
This blog is about me, Mamapumpkin. A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
