Cheeky Boy

Daryl drives me up the walls sometimes! E.g. I was on my way to the kitchen to find some food for lunch just now when I saw him dancing on our coffee table. I told him off & asked him to come down from the table. He refused & still gave me a cheeky smile. Asty, who was coming in from the kitchen, quickly carried him down from the table & put him down on the sofa. I told Asty off for not looking after Daryl while I was working.

Then I turned my attention to Daryl. I scolded him & told him that he's a notti boy for dancing on the table. The cheeky boy pretended not to hear me & fixed his gaze on the TV. When I told him that when I am talking to him, he is not supposed to ignore me. Do you know what he did?

He actually used both his hands to cover his ears!! When I saw that, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry! What I did was that I removed his hands from his ears, smacked his hands for covering his ears & smacked his legs for dancing on the table. Then I went back to our study room. Once inside, I was laughing coz it was so funny!! I can't believe that a 21 months old boy knows how to do that.

I told Kel about it when he came back from his appt. He laughed & said that our notti boy is getting to be cleverer already. I hope that this is not a prelude to Daryl's discplining problems. :p
