We spent our weekend tell her NO so many times, it might have hit 100 times! This morning was ultimate.. somehow, she got her hands on the 100% aloe vera gel, opened it up, and squeezed it onto her face and mouth..
i was sleeping like a pig when suddenly this angelic voice goes.." mummy, mummy!! arrgghh arrghhhh!!"... i opened my eyes, peered at her and jumped up in fright cos the aloe vera gel was in her hands, half its contents gone, and she pointed to her mouth and started to wail..
YIKES!!
grabbed her, almost dragging her into the toilet, and shouting at her for being so silly..starting wiping her face and hands and rinsing her mouth.. the whole time i was scolding her, telling her that it is poisonous (which it wasn't, phew..) and things cannot be put into th mouth without asking us..
After i calmed & cooled down and regretted my reaction, which by then, the princess was already frightened to bits and started sobbing.. told her if she like it so much, i can pour the balance into her mouth.. and she shook her head vigorously NO, NO!!
When i have calmed down, i explained to her that she scared me and frightened me and cos i am afraid she swallowed the gel, i have to react fast to rinse it out and told her not to swallow creams that is on the baby trolley but to ask us first.
Jadelle understood every single word....... still amazed at her speech growth and analytic skills.
I then went on to ask her why mummy scold her and why jadelle cry? she said cos jadelle eat the aloe vera gel..
Sigh.. she was just being curious...... but, oh dear, the cat calling the kettle black.. what about me inserting the battery into my nose when i was 6 and frightening Uncle Paul almost to death??
Really, like mother like daughter... hmm..i wonder if Grandma Josephine was ever that naughty & curious.. just she kept it well hidden.. this character must have come from my mum or dad!
