Dad Is A Sweet Devil

(Okay Pops, sorry about the title. But  it seemed appropriate for this post)
 
Ages ago, I wrote about Matt’s unusual dislike to ice creams (very unusual considering the nature of kids) and I’ll quote it now.

Matt doesn’t like ice cream. He doesn’t scurry to get a spoon when he sees me produce a bucket. When I’d […]

Pat-A-Cake

Matt and I were reading the Christian Mother Goose Rock-A-Bye Bible one afternoon.
Me, trying to get Matt to repeat: Pat a cake.
Matt: Papa cake.
Me: Pat a cake.
Matt: Papa cake.
I was wondering now why Matt couldn’t get that very simple phrase. I know Matt and he’s quite quick with words.
Me, trying again: Pat a cake

And…

He couldn’t help but be delighted upon seeing the almost empty packets of paint. He really had done quite a good -and […]

7 Flicks

Matt is 2 years and 7 months today and it’s also time to do the 7 Meme. I’m not going to list some milestones now but I’m writing down 7 of his favorite flicks.
So here goes:
1) Cars. One time, we were stuck in traffic and waiting for the light to go green when he spotted […]

Could Be The Best Way

In my previous post, I mentioned that I tried to administer his inhalant without the improvised plastic nozzle and just directly to Matt’s mouth.
Last Saturday when I told the pedia about it, she said it’s not effective. She explained that there were studies that proved that this method is not really effective with kids at […]
