Reflective Monday #10- Noodle Baby

Dominique Thoughts Noodle Baby, Roy, Ryan

Both my kids are simply crazy over noodles. If they could every meal would consist of noodles- Cold Soba, Hot Udon, Fried Udon, Handmade La mian, Ramen, Mee Pok etc. * As you can see we are very unaffected by the rising cost of rice *

Roy has an extremely weird way of eating noddles. He will only take one strand at a time. It is really time consuming feeding him. If you try to “bluff” him by inserting more then one strand into his mouth he will promptly spit out the noodles and you will need to start feeding him all over again.

Ryan and Roy take “plain noodles” that means without any pieces of meat or vegetable attached to it. There goes my hope of getting them to eat both noodles and vegetables in the same mouthful.

Mommy am I fashionable?

Dominique Thoughts dressing up, Roy

My 16mth old just caught a new bug from his brother- The Fashion bug. Never in my wildest imagination would I think that at this age a toddler could be so assertive about the clothes he wears.

If he doesn’t fancy the clothes that I have laid out for him he would ransack his clothes drawer and pull out the piece that he would like to wear. Carry it over to me and insist that I change his clothes for him. If I refuse he will throw a tantrum flinging himself to the ground kicking and wailing. Talk about acting like a Diva!!!

After being dressed in his selected outfit he will be happily doing his catwalk in front of me expecting me to praise him for looking outstanding and handsome.

“Whao..what a handsome baby” will send him grinning cheek to cheek and sometimes he burst out laughing happily.

Hmmf… baby don’t you know your daily fashion parades is giving mummy lots of extra laundry to do??
