Nathan pointed to the BIG Ernie sitting on top of his book shelves and asked me to take it down for him. Because Ernie has been sitting there for quite a while, collecting dust, I tried to distract him with the other items on his shelf.
Me: Nathan, do you want this? * hands him toy no.1 *
Nathan: No. Put back.
Me: How about this? * hands him toy no.2 *
Nathan: No. Put back.
* Nathan continues pointing at the BIG Ernie. This time, standing on tip toes. *
Me: OH! You want Ernie. But Ernie's too high, mommy cannot reach.
* Nathan walks away... Phew! I thought. Until I realised that he's gone to his room to take the little red stool. He puts the stool beside the book shelf, and asked him to stand on the stool so I can get Ernie for him. *
Gosh! My little boy is really growing up. He knows how to solve problems now. And because of that, I had no excuse not to give him the BIG Ernie.
