Hey there.
Yesterday, I went to the nearest local mini grocery store to get a pack of diaper pants for my 17 months toddler and I was a little devastated by the fact that I am still haven't consume the latest collection of Cadbury Dairy Milk, the Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream Swirled.
So, I'm choosing the Cornetto Royale Chocoluv instead. I have such a great ice cream moment with my little toddler, Faiq when he seems to be not really interested with it till the ice cream cone has become shorter and easy for him to hold. Not that he was interested to have a taste of it but he was actually holding the ice cream for me which I've found it such a sweet gesture for our ice cream moment together. There are times that we have such a sweet moments and there were times that we were in such a terrible moments of miscommunications. I have never google for this term until today, https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/understanding-egocentrism-in-young-children/
(the website domain has been practically screaming itself my parenting first cry, haha).
Pretty much worse, I have a first child syndrome and yet I need to balance with his need of a pretty strong vibes toddler like, I couldn't even get the need for him to be the centre of attention among the boys. When he was with me like just the two of us, so weird that we can practically live as a normal human being, getting exhausted, frustrated, independent play on his own (I do encourage this a lot since he is the only child living with me right now), and so on. However, I'm still keeping up with his physical and skills development log book so that we are in the right pace.
Honestly speaking, as a boy mom, I need to receive more than to provide for him. I've found him so cute that now, he acknowledges his own personal space and expressing a good emotions of "mamma, please do not squeeze me with your hug. I need some space here, I'm not your little baby anymore." So adorable yet he even run when it is the diaper changing moment like, it gives me an annoying feeling to chill out with this new soon to be habit. Ughh!
Wait, I am supposed to write about our days to make a space for a living room. It was pretty much stressful yet I am truly satisfied with my progression to make a space for both of us to hangout during the day instead of walking back and forth from our bedroom to the laundry room. He is such a good team to make himself fully occupied but then, he was becoming way too clingy due to the existence of this new space. I hope we are going to accept the transitioning of this new space in a week.
So yeah, this is the ice cream that I am supposed to talk about.
(Looking for the photo for my ice cream cone and wait I need to go Premium to upload a photo?)
Till then,
bye for now.
