The terrible 2 phase has started

Aduh!!! It's already 2.22am and here i am, updating my blog in the middle of the night! hah!!! what to do, i have no time to blog while in the office, and when i reached home just now, my kids were creating a ruckus, demanding me to attend their every need. Though isaac demanded only my attention to hear his green man story, inesha on the other hand driving me nuts with her non-cooperative + defying everything behaviour. One minute she is like an angel to me, another minutes, her behaviour changed and even a Saint can become nuts with her antics.

I know there is a phase they called the TERRIBLE 2 phase whereas a 2 years old toddler will start becoming a rebel, and driving their parents crazy! But when son was 2 last time, i didn't noticed much about his behaviour coz' he shows no sign of being a rebellious toddler. Of course he started being terrible when he was 3 years old but that, i thought was due to the addition of our family member. I thou it was due to sibling rivalry, but guess i was wrong about that. It was the terrible 2 phase symptoms son had.

In less than a week, Inesha will be celebrating her 2nd birthday and yeah!! she already starts showing all the symptoms to me. No more cuteness in the attitude, only making me insane with her nonsense. Can you imagine, inesha told me she wanted a handkerchief but when i get one for her, she start crying and tell me to put the handerkerchief on the floor and when i put the handkerchief on the floor, she cried and want me to put handkerchief on a table pulak!! Not pening meh you think???

Not only a Spiderboy in our house, we also have one cute and adorable SpiderGal a home. Hehehe See the pix, daughter demanded me to take her nice pix and post it in mommy's computer.

The mask is soooooo big pun inesha still want to wear it!! When i tried to take off the mask from her, i got another round of shrilling cry from daughter. *sigh* Gila eh melayan perangai Inesha nie!!!

See lah..she followed Isaac's pose and show me her ugly tongue like that!! Inesha was trying to grab the camera from me, but unsuccessful to do so..and out of frustration, she cried again trying to manipulate me and hoping i will give in to her demand. sekali! haha the mommy is even more keras kepala than her..Hahaha!! I don't care how loud was the shrills, i just let daughter cried as longer as she wants..hehehe!!

On the 1st of December, Inesha will be two already that time and now, i'm preparing myself to deal with Inesha nonsense behaviour. Hope i won't become crazy lah this during Inesha's terrible 2 phase.

How to fly in peace with your small kids??

This probably not really a new things to tell, but i think i might just want to share with those who wish or going to fly with your small kids. When i fly back to sabah recently, the 1/2 way to KK was a total disaster as both my kids refused to sit still and Inesha's didn't want to sit on my lap..(Infant has no seat so she had to sit on my lap). We were lucky as the plane still has lotssssss of empty seats and the Stewardess allows my kids to sit whereever they want. So as quick as they can, Isaac and inesha choose the seat next to the window and no matter how i coax daughter to sit with me, she didn't budge from her spot. Some more screaming pulak when i want to carry her.

So what happend in the first hour of our journey...! Hmmmm..son spilt his hot choc on the carpet..and daughter (cacing tidak pandai diam) drop a whole plate of pasta on the carpet too. Pengsan the mother want to tend her two kids in the plane. (Hubby was nicely snoozing all the way from KL - KK! Bikin panas eh!!) So what i did to quiet my kids was....Jeng..jeng..

Gave them a magazine to browse! I was lucky that day as MAS has a magazine that contains lotsssssss of superhero pix. Ada Batman (Dark Knight), Incredible Hulk, Spiderman and wohooo..that surely caught son attention and quiet him down. I let daughter play with the seat belt and that works a wonder too..Inesha keep buckling and unbackle the seat belt and give me the peace i needed Hehehehee!!!

However, magazine and seat belt only last for 30 mins and at that time, we had 1 hour before we reach KK. What i did was, ask lotsssssssssssssssss of papers for my kids and yipeeeee!!! The papers work like a magic to my kids..hehehe! For 1 hour, i had a peace and quiet journey while my kids was busy with their 'work'. Isaac, as usual lah..he drew his fav incredible hulk, hellboy and Uncle moster, while inesha, scribbling the paper without making any sounds...hehe

So if any you want to travel in peace with your kids or nephews or nieces, just give them lotssss of paper and if possible a colour pencils because i'm sure, your journey will be a peaceful one. hehee

WARNING : kaDusMama will do a marathon post tonight, so jangan terkezutttt!!

Barney Vs Incredible Hulk

Huh??? What barney has to do with green man???? Nothing! Hehehe But currently in my house, Barney fan and Hulk fan are having a terrible feud to get control over the one and only DVD Player and TV in our house. So who is Barney fan? Of course my daughter and it's already known son is fan of incredible hulk. I got a pretty bad headache watching both son and daughter wailing and wailing and wailing with their most sorrowful expression hoping i will side one of them and let one party get to control the TV.
What happend last sunday was, i woke up pretty early in the morning after daughter rouse me from my sleep and after she got her milk, she demanded me to play her Barney CD..! (At that time, son was still in his deep sleep). First round finished, and daughter continue watching for the second round (Its the same CD!!) So i thought, Ok..i can just leave her watch her CD while i wash my face and brush my teeth. Just after i finished brushing my teeth, i heard a veryyyyyy loud cry ouside and followed by a loud scream by son. I rushed outside and what happend????? The two stooges had a fight and feisty daughter retaliated by bitting son's finger. Son was angry too..and smacked daughter's head and both were crying to get my sympathy. At first i thought it was son who started the fight, but nope..son was only trying to press stopped the DVD player and daughter didn't allowed son to watch his hulk...and there..she bit him and left son in shocked! If i'm in a good mood that time, i might just gave both a long lecture and no screaming and shouting is necessary, but no..in god awful morning, both making a ruckus and that woke the 'hulk' in me. Hehehe So i shouted at son, thinking it was his fault.
Mommy : ISAAAAAAC!!!!!!! What have you done this time??? Why you smack Inesha's head?????*the garangest tone ever*
Isaac : Then she gigit my finger!! It's painful you know!
Mommy : INESHAAAAAAA!!!!!! WHY BITE KOR-KOR??????
Inesha : I want to watch my barney..kor-kor off my barney!!
Mommy : Then why bite kor-kor????
Inesha : Ya lah!! (no explanation given)
Mommy : Kor..kor..mommy see your finger..
Isaac : *Show me his little finger* Nah you see mommy, alamak!! patah already my finger! How???
Mommy : No lah..
Isaac : Yes!! Patah already..you better bring me to see doctor now..kesian isaac you know!! *Duh!!*
Mommy : It's ok already..just a small bite..
Mommy : Inesha!!! say sorry to Kor-kor now! You cannot bite kor-kor, you know!
Inesha : Mmmmm *nodding her head*
Mommy : Now say sorry..
Inesha : Sowieeee ko-ko..*no remorse face pun*
Isaac : Ok...now... inesha let isaac watch my hulk first???
Mommy : *wakakakakaa!! laughing! but inside my heart only lah*
Inesha : Cannot!!!!!!! MOMMY!!! I WANT TO WATCH BARNEY!!!
Isaac : PLEASEEE...
Inesha : Cannot! cannot! Cannot!!
Isaac : Mommy!! You see inesha....
And the drama goes on..!! Aduh!! sungguh pening kepala ini dealing with my kids..!!! Inesha is going to be 2 years old next month, but she acted like she is sooooooooo big already...last time she used to be bullied by isaac and now, she bullied isaac and hit him hard sometimes. You'll never believe Inesha can talk like a big girl unless you meet her yourself. Kan Chegu Carol?? Hehe
Back to my problem dealing with kids, i told both to take turn watching their CD. But like unfair pulak, coz daughter's barney is only 30 mins long while son's hulk is almost 2 1/2 hours!! At first daughter agreed with the deal, but after one hour waiting, she starting screaming and shouting at isaac to off the hulk and play her barney..and si KaDusMama jadi gila already!! hahahaha So what i did was..switch off the CD player..switch off the home theatre and watch the 'don't know what the heck' series at NTV7!! and left both kids crying again!! hahahaaa..
Sometimes, its cute to see them acting like that..but most of the time..its driving me crazy especially the time when i'm tired..! *sigh* When lah i can have a peaceful time at home??
