JL got Lego but ….now....manual first

Follow-up from yesterday post, actually yesterday Mummy wanted to surprise JL by letting him to open it up last nite. However, he had been naughty and disobedient the whole day. When Mummy said, the surprise would not be a surprise for that nite, JL was extremely quiet.

Last nite, he cried because he knew he wanted to open it so badly but he couldn’t because he didn’t behave himself.

Mummy told PaPa who just came back from outstation and PaPa had a talk with JL. After the talk, PaPa agreed to open the Lego box but………….

JL was only allowed to take the two manual books only and not the Lego pieces.

It was enough to make JL smile and happily going through the manual book with PaPa before he slept last nite.

When would JL be able to open the box and play with the Lego? Hmmmmm let’s see …..

Mummy sounded cruel?
Mummy had to really ‘tahan’ not to give in so fast because Mummy really what him to know when PaPa and Mummy meant, we actually really mean it and keep to our words. A promise is a promise and no running away. We made the agreement in the Toys r Us before we bought the Lego so we must keep to the agreement.

Agree, we must keep to our words to ensure they understand we mean business (evil laughter!). But sometimes, I also give up, just for the sake of having some peace and quiet at home.

He's always been a vy good boy. Cannot imagine him being disobedient. But u're right, must stick to the promise, otherwise he won't take ur words seriously next time.
