Sean @ 41 months

Favorite accessories : straw hat and sunglasses
Favorite color : red ( he uses red for everything)
Favorite drink : Yoko Strawberry, Coca Cola, Apple juice
Favorite food : banana, pao

Current Behavior : He swings from " I want Mummy to do it for me" to " I want to do it myself" this past month.

One minute he says, " I don't know how, help me." The next moment, he's like "I want to do it myself" and won't listen to instruction. For example, in the supermarket, he wants to push the trolley himself and refuse to let us even touch the trolley. It's a real headache trying to make sure he doesn't crash into things or people.

Or if he really doesn't know something and I tell him what they are, then he'll say, " Oh yeah, I know that." Aarrrgghhh...

The other night, he went to the toilet to poo and told us,
Sean : Don't follow me. I want to poo and wash myself."
Our eyebrows went up. Normally when he goes to the toilet he says, "Mummy, follow me"
Me : Eerrr.. No, you still don't know how to wash yourself."

Later I asked him, " What do you mean by wash yourself?"
Sean : I spray water and wash the toilet.
I asked, " What about your backside?"
Sean : Mummy and Daddy wash my backside

Oops... as I'm typing this blog, the little rascal calmly went to the toilet ( I assumed to pee), came back out, sat on the bed and put on his pants, and then went back to do what he was doing before. Reeeaaallly quietly..... not his usual self.

My hubby had the inkling to ask him, "Did you pee or poo?
Sean said, " I pee pee and poo poo"

*Eyebrows went up*

I jumped to the toilet to check the toilet bowl. He pooped and didn't wash! He also left a poo streak on the edge bed where he sat while putting on his pants. Of course it was back to the toilet to wash up and change pants. LOL....

As I was cleaning the bed, the floor felt crunchy.
I said : What's this?
Sean : I sharpened my pencil.

He had sharpened his pencil and left all the debris on the floor.

*Shake head*

This " I want to do is myself" stage is full of surprises. Hopefully there'll be more pleasant ones. I don't want to be finding poo streaks on my bed!!!!!!
