When you said so

One day my 19Mo was pointing at baloon in boost juice.

"Look, gween bawoon" She pointed at the blue one.

   "No dear, that is not green. That is blue"

   "You are not colorblind are you?"

I am immediately look at that person and tell him to not said that to my kid.

He answered back 

   "Why.. whats wrong? nothing wrong being colorblind. Aren't they cutie pie"

I got  annoyed to that person and said to him....

  "No, she is not colorblind. She just 19 months old who doesn't even know where to eat or shit yet"

  "But you are, you are colorblind, quite ugly, and FAT"

he looked at me with kind of weird look. Then I continued my word...

  "Why? whats wrong? nothing wrong being colorblind, ugly and fat. Aren't you ugly pie.."

I smiled at him, touched his belly with the corner of my newspaper and went away.

     In the evening I told my husband about what happen and he laughed at me. He said that I shouldn't get mad of him. He just joking and he meant nothing. He adding if I'm over protective to our child, they might not having skills to defense herself.

I am totally disagree with him.

1. Rudeness, in any way of expression. Either joking or serious, its still rude.

2. Rude words to early kid will damage their confident level. Something might meant nothing to us, are meant the world for them.
If they hear it once, they might be believe that was just a joke. But if they hear it multiple times when they make mistakes. will afraid making mistakes because they don't want to hear the words they don't want to hear. The become afraid of making mistakes. Which end up: NO LEARNING

3. Yes I am protective. The way I talk to that guy also teach her how to defense herself If someone said something rude to her.

Toddler Food Round Up

My little baby is growing up and I really enjoying the motherhood more than ever.

Rather than just a baby who can only cry, laugh, and poo

she is more than everything now.

We had a chat, conversation, dancing together, walk in the park,

enjoying play ground, puddle, read the book,

washing dishes, doing laundry, hanging laundry,

folding clothes

The more I love she is able to enjoy most of adult food (kid friendly version)

So that I don't have to cook food separate from her.

Well, I still do cook special food just for her. 

Then I have to cook for myself.

Just because I think her food has too much carbohydrate and fat content which not suitable for me

*psssttt... I am trying to lose weight which never happen anyway lol.

Here are some of the food I made for her

Oat porridge with yogurt and dried fruits

Fritata, Toast, String Cheese, Chocolate Milk

Toast, Scrambled Eggs, Sausages, Mushroom, Tomatoes

steamed sticky rice in coconut milk

Breakfast mostly made from protein and carbohydrate.

Since she is not really into eggs lately, and she never really like to eat meat in the morning.

I tend to give her High-Carb meal and cup of warm milk soon as she open her eyes.

While Lunch would be more variety in her plate. At this time I do spoil her with lot of choice of vegetables. I would not force her to eat certain food.

I let her choose whichever she wants to eat, and left the unwanted.

Stir fried Pasta, Steamed broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower.
Roast Chicken from left over.

Vegetable soup (carrot, napa cabbage), Fish Ball

Soto Ayam (Indonesia Yellow Chicken Soup) served with rice noodles, hard boiled egg.

Spinach noodle soup, Carrot, Choy Sim, boiled egg

Fried Noodle, Omelette, Fried Tempeh, Yoghurt

Steamed Rice, Vegetable soup, Corn fritter

For Dinner for baby at 6pm, mostly I offered more carbohydrates and protein just to fill her up (so that she can sleep well). About 7:30 we will watch TV While we waiting her Dad back from work, she will have another session of sliced fruits as her snacks accompanied by warm milk.
