Two rounds of disciplining required in just the last weekend. Time for mommy & daddy to welcome the ‘terrible twos’ with open arms.. cos from the way I see it, there’s no escaping it given Wayne’s super stubborn character. On Saturday, we were getting ready to leave home & mommy was trying to get him to wear his shoes when Wayne screamed. Shrieked. That naughty long shriek he does from time to time recently. Daddy scolded him and brought out the wooden spatula and hit both his hand. Naughty Wayne looked down on the floor, clenched his fist, probably hurting after being spanked – both sides. Asked him if he can scream, he continued looking down on the floor. We left the home.
That same night, we were having dinner with grandma and all and was telling them that Wayne got spanked. Grandma asked him “Who hit Wayne Wayne?”. With head looking straight ahead, he pointed his hand sideways to daddy, without even glancing at him, an act of defiance as I see it. Mommy then asked him “Why did daddy hit Wayne?”, he replied by giving a short scream. Well, at least we know, point taken. He knows what he did wrong. That’s good.
Next day, we were at home having lunch, when Wayne who was in his high chair, started to ‘pick’ the food he wanted to eat (= mommy’s chicken), and threw those he did not want (= Wayne’s fish and potato) on the dining table. Then he did his scream AGAIN. Immediately, daddy got up from his seat and took the wooden spatula out. Wayne kept quiet, head down. Daddy asked him “Do you want me to whack you?” He paused for a few seconds then shook his out. Dad continued “Do you want to scream?”. Again, he paused then shook his head. *”Phew, good boy” mommy was thinking”.

And then when we brought him out of his high chair, he immediately hugged mommy’s leg, placed his cheeks against my thigh and started to rub my leg to ‘sayang’.. with his eyes closed no less! *to show how loving he is*.
Repeated the same on daddy. See how smart he is, manipulating us with his affection… But it worked!!! Big hugs for him after that. =D
