No, No, Joshua!

Deary and I are in the stage of disciplining Joshua. We would always be, " No, No! Joshua, dangerous!" or " Give mummy, please." We had to raise our voice, and be stern to him, at times he would break out into a wide smile, thinking we were playing with him!

He is definitely learning and trying out the effects of each emotion that he displayed. He whine and scream if we force something out of his grasp. Or even attempt to move things out of reach before he could grab it. There were times he would whine and try to wriggle out of our hold. Trust me, he sure have alot more persistency then we expected. He would cry for a whole 5min, and we would speak sternly to him, explaining to him, why it is wrong for him to do that. After he stopped crying, we would give him a good hug. It was always so tempting to want to give in to him then bear with the loud cries. Haa...

Did comtemplate reading some christian books on child upbringing, but don't have the time to get down to it. Guess for now, I can only pray for wisdom from God, make me an expert of my own child ;)
