u'll need all the patience..
Mom: Come pom-pom (bathe)
(no kid)
Mom: Come now. 1,2... (yeah, I count to give them chance)
Kid: Twee, For, Fi (running to the bathroom).
They are sooo cute when learning how to talk yeah? But when can talk real well... hmmm no peace in the home. Joys of motherhood. Heheh
I also use another trick - to count the number of steps as I go down or up with my daughter to / and from our bedroom.
Like Adam, I too taught my eldest daughter how to count by counting the steps everytime we went up and down the stairs. Later we "graduated" to counting cars in the street, and birds in the sky.
Now we're trying the process with our 2nd daughter too.
Love moments like that with my daughters.
