One of the hardest things to teach a baby, well, a toddler of 2 years and 2 months, is good manners.
She actually does the proper curtsey when she 'wais', and when she wants something bad enough will say "Ja" instead of "Ka".
But when she gets in a bad mood - boy - err, 'she' is just like her dad!
So - we are up on the farm for Songkran, can't remember what I did, but she was pissed at me. She stares at me, gives me the evil eye, and with both tiny fists plunges them into my sun burnt and hairy arms and DIGS IN DEEP!
OUCH! FARKING OUCH!!!!!!
Then she lets go, all without breaking eye contact or saying a word, PLUNGES BOTH EVIL LITTLE FISTS INTO MY HEAD HAIR AND TUGS OUT A HANDFUL!
Grrrrrrr!
So, as I don't spank, I calmly, wincingly, hold her hands by her side and say "NO" to what ever it was she wanted and left it at that.
TWO days later, I get up early with her and take her down to the outside shower.
6:30 am and there I kneel down and start to wash her.
"Daddy"
"Yes, love."
(Pointing to my left arm.) "Jeb mai?" (Hurts?)
"No, darling."
(Points to my right arm.) "Jeb mai?"
"No, little love."
(Points to my head.) "Jeb mai?"
"No, little princess, why?"
"Kortort Daddy, Jing-Joe mai dee" (Sorry dad, but I was a naughty girl.)
Then gives me a sweet little smile and 'Boe' (blows kisses) on my arms and head.
"Mai jeb na?"
No, little love, doesn't hurt a bit!
