Just back from a quick getaway to Botanic Gardens cos my dad just informed me last night that my aunt is getting married.
It came as a surprise, definitely.
Anyway, had to scurry to arrange for pick up of Minibean and utilise the lunch time to get there in the midst of the hectic schedule.
Saw lots of the people I hadn’t seen for a while, and Minibean was excitedly chewing on her gummybears given by one of them.
Then she was whining for more, and getting a lil cranky. I was carrying my cousin’s lovely baby, who should be slightly more than a year old, and was interpidly conquering the steps with her wobbly gait.
Minibean was then on the verge of tears, and insisted I carry her instead. Daddy tried to carry her, but she refused and just wanted her way.
She started pestering me for sweets and treats and I couldn’t find any.
And then I squatted down to her eye level (parenting books teach one) and tried to reason with her, and that she has to keep her manners in check.
I then pointed to the little baby and said animatedly, “Look, baby is so quiet and so well-behaved!”
She took a look and then pouted, in her best baby voice, said without a break, almost matter-of-factly, “But baby doesn’t know how to talk!”
I could only respond with narrowed eyes, and couldn’t find a come back in time to the lil sharp-tongued cheeky bundle.
Not yet three already like that, I dread to think when she is thirteen.
good luck when the boys come knocking on the door….
I hope shotguns are legalised by then…. or i will just stand by a pair of scissors, at all times.
yes yes, i am gonna be one of those mums children are embarrassed of.
Was the wedding held at Halia Restaurant? I miss a chance to see minibean and you again. I think I should really give you my mobile number so that you can contact me when you are in SBG. LOL!
yes darling, it was! I was there for a short hour, and minibean was there for good half of the day! yah man, you should be giving me your number, so i can contact you if i head there again soon!
