Doodling Darling

Lia is slowly becoming fickle minded, she's having too much of her iPad. She opens an app, then closes it after a minute or so. Glides her hand on the screen, chooses another app, opens it, then closes it again. The same thing goes on and on.

So, I thought to myself, I need to buy something educational, something that will make Lia pause and think. Something that will enhance her cognitive and creativity. Something like this ---

Ok fine, I am just making excuses. I didn't really thought about the abovementioned items when I bought this. I just got carried away by a cute toddler carrying the same demo unit all around the department store as if she knows what that thing was all about.

Mama and our Ate Weng told me that according to a TV show that they've watched, I need to learn how to say no to Lia to avoid spoiling her. And when I say NO, it should really be a BIG SOLID NO despite a hysterical child in her acrobats. It should be plain NO because kids nowadays are too smart, they already know how to hypnotize their parents.

Problem is, Lia wasn't all cranky when she showed interest on this sketcher. She was plain too cute like a little shopper making her way to the cashier. So there, I got mesmerized. And if you call that spoiling, I plead guilty, and I think each parent has his/her own way of "spoiling" in his/her attempt to give what he/she thinks is best for her kid. (Defensive much! Haha).

And here's my happy writer.....

... who never fails to make me feel proud. Haha! Presenting, mi unica hija's obra maestro:

The thin lines – by her hand. The thick ones – by her foot :)
