My Crazy BB

Have you ever come across a child who will cry and scream when it's time for her to finish school? Well, Clarissa is one...

Today, daddy was complaining to me that when he picked her from school, she refused to follow him. For some reason, she is very fond of her new teacher, and decided to stay back in class just for that teacher. When daddy tried to convince her that she can still see and play with her new teacher tomorrow, she decided to practise her "invisible leg" on him, leaving daddy very angry and frustrated, but yet, wouldn't dare to punish her in front of her teachers :) So, daddy did what he thought best - complained to mommy!

When I came home, I questioned her on why she behaved that way, and what was so great about this new teacher (whom she told me she loves best - by the way, the teacher just joined yesterday).

She explained to me that she wanted to stay back because she will miss her new teacher when she comes home (she doesn't even remember her new teacher's name). I told her that she could see her again tomorrow, but she said - "But mommy, this teacher is only here for a few days because after that she will have to leave to continue her study" - and that's when I understand her concern.

All she had wanted was to spend more time with her new favorite teacher before she leaves, but because daddy didn't get this point, she threw her tantrum and showed him a little bit of her kung fu :) She also told me the reason why she likes this teacher so much is because she will answer all her questions (according to her class teacher, she asked "too many" questions sometimes), and told off a boy who disturbed her when she complained to her. In other words, what she was trying to make me understand is, this new teacher gave her 100% attention and that was why she immediately became her favorite teacher.... isn't she easy to bribe?!?

She Bites!!!

I haven't realise how long I have stopped posting until today, when a friend (a regular blogger) reminded me.... Inspired by him ;) who also has been quiet for some time but started his blog again today, I decided to catch up on what has been happening to my dear daughter.

First, let's talk about the incident that happened last week in school... I never realised what a little tiger she can be until this happened..... 

Apparently there was this little boy who kept disturbing and irritating her during music class. According to the teacher, she was maintaining her cool for some time until she couldn't stand him anymore, and the next thing you know, she took a bite right at his chest!! Don't ask me why it has to be in that position, instead of the normal position where kids will bite like the hands or legs. She bit so hard until there was a teeth mark there. It also shows how angry she must have been.

Don't get me wrong, the reason I blog this, is not because I am proud of her doings. Like what I mentioned from the start, the main reason for my blogs is to hope that one day Clarissa will get to read what Mommy has documented for her. I am sure she wouldn't mind knowing that she was ferocious little thing (like Mommy, I'm sure a lot of you who know me agreed with me)...

And the moral of the incident... "Don't mess with my Clarissa, she bites"..... :-)

****just for the sake of your reading pleasure, I, of course reprimanded her. I didn't let her get away with this although it wasn't entirely her fault. And she understood after I reason with her, that, no matter how the other party provoked her, she wasn't supposed to use her teeth to fight back****
