Tantrums


Yesterday, I made popo (grandma) angry.
I threw the spoon on the floor when eating my dinner and splashed food on popo making a mess in the process.

Popo told me that I cannot do it and I cried.
The more she scolded me, the more I cried.
I cried till I vomitted.

Mommy doesn't know what to do with me.
So today, she went to find some help on the internet.
And she found out that I'm crying and bitting and hitting because:

1) I want attention
2) I want to get what I want
3) I'm frustrated
4) I'm too tired
5) I'm too hungry
6) I'm too excited

Yesterday I had the tantrum while eating because I couldn't hold my spoon properly.
I spilled some soup on myself and felt frustrated.
That's why I threw my spoon away.

Some says its best to redirect my attention to other constructive behaviours.
Instead of saying don't throw, Mommy would say put the spoon down properly

We will see if this method works!

My Growth Chart

Last week, my mommie downloaded some growth charts from the US CDC website.

Yesterday, she let me measure her head circumference and I let her measure mine. Well... I'm not so 'small sized' after all. I'm in the 90th percentile in terms of head circumference. As for my weight and height... well... lets just say I'm the cute type....

Below is my measurements if anyone is interested...

Am I too short?

My mommy is constantly worrying that I am not growing fat enough, tall enough, fast enough. So today, we when on the internet to check if other mommies are facing the same problem.

Other mommies have previously also faced the same issues and now their toddlers have grown up fine. Some have even went to the hospitals and had their toddlers heart checked. Some doctors even implied that the mommies are not feeding their toddlers!!! Gosh!

After reading what other mommies had to say, my mommy became not so paranoid about my size because of the following reasons:-

1) Mom and dad are both short --> Thats why baby me is short too!
2) Me love to play ball and dance --> Much energy burned off... so I'm not fat kid
3) I'm able to reach the milestones for my age

Some websites says head circumference is a more important measure of my growth. So mommy has download this CDC growth chart. Tonight I will have my head measured.

I hate having my head measured. Actually I hate having my head touched by anyone. Wonder how mommy will get to measure me? Perhaps when I'm fast asleep...

Welcome to my blog


Hi, I am Abigail.
