Mothers nag, don't we?

I'm not sure about you, but I sure am quite a naggy mother, I feel. :p

Everytime before I need to use the toilet or take a shower at home when I'm home alone with Alvis (and most of the time if we're home, it's usually just me and alvis), I will give a chain of instructions before I leave him in the living room like:

- do not leave the living room
- do not run about
- sit here and play with your cars until mummy comes out
- do not touch anything else except your toys
- anything call for mummy loudly

Blah blah blah.. This was carried out way earlier, when alvis was only 15months old, ever since we've been staying on our own. When he was younger I could put him on the playmat and told him to sit there while I needed to rush to the toilet.

So anyway, now that he's 3 and talking alot and very much like any adult, as usual when I gave him the above mentioned instructions, he surprised me by saying politely 'Mummy, why are you saying so much? Faster go to the toilet.' that day. Mixed feelings.

I was half wondering if he was trying to say I am naggy, but of course he doesn't know the word 'nag' yet as I don't remember we mentioning the word in front of him, half thinking that my boy is understanding and sensible, trying to tell me that I better not talk so much if I needed to use the toilet badly.

Am I already showing signs of 'nagginess' towards my boy at his tender age of 3? Haha, I'm sure 天下的妈妈都是一样的.

Here's a geeky me wishing everyone a happy weekend! It's a new month, it's gonna be a great month! xx
