stop. enough.

since kyle's in the terrible/terrific twos now, he's been quite vocal about what he wants and feels. although there are times when he stills loses focus in letting out his emotions. can't blame him, he's still young and learning the ropes of life on his on and with me.

so anyway, i've been reprimanding him for bad behavior like pushing his cousin when he wants to get a certain toy or forgets to share. there was this one time where i called his attention and in the middle of my reprimand, he faced me and said: "stop" "enough" with matching finger pointing, the way i do it when i call his attention.

i didn't know what to to. i was stumped. i was caught in the middle of laughing or getting more angry for what he did. being the mom, and not wanting to show that i was pahiya, i just told him that only mommy can do that if he does something wrong. (i was left with nothing to say anymore!) good thing though he did stop from being naughty.

marunong na lumaban anak ko... but it still makes me so proud, it makes my heart burst. what more when he knows more words and can communicate properly? the endless conversations and arguments we could share.
