Anna & Sophia

Sophia is going to turn two and a half next month.  She is no longer an infant who doesn’t know what is right and wrong.  I refuse to treat her like she’s 3 months old.  Her temperament is getting worst by the day.  If i don’t correct her now, i’m afraid i won’t be able to change her in the future.

Sophia and i went to Target to pick up some stuff for the house.  As we were passing by the toy section.  Sophia was pointing at the toys she wanted to play with.  Normally i don’t really mind letting her play with the toys there.  But she wanted everything there.  So i said ” No! Just one ”  Then that’s when she started screaming and crying. To teach her a lesson.  I actually let her cry it out.  I thought she would stop after i ignore her.  But the crying continue non-stop.  People even gave me nasty looks.

Truthfully, i don’t blame them for giving me nasty look.  The sound of kids crying could really make people go crazy.  Not to mention Sophia have one of those high pitch voice, which doesn’t make the situation any better.  But should i give in her bad way and let her do whatever she like just because we are outside?!  I know what you must be thinking.  Do your learning lesson at home.  The thing is, she doesn’t act up when she’s home.

I ended up letting her cry the whole 30 mins in Target.  She never stop but i never gave in either. Now i just hope she knows better next time when she goes out.  No means no.
