Flying Food.....

Yikes! He eats from his bowl with a spoon. Then he uses his fingers to mash the food in the bowl. He eat some more with his spoon. Then saw tiny bits of green vegetables, he picked it up and throw it on the floor.

After that it was followed by bits of food raining from his fingers and finally when he finishes with his food, he caps his bowl on top of his head. I have tried firmly to say “no” to him while looking him straight in the eye, but the more I say “no” the more he rain food on the floor. This disaster has been going on with my baby since he is 12 months old. He is going to be 18 months soon but the situation doesn’t improve. He is truly a rascal. Could he be bored with his food? playful? teething? Or could it be my food is horrible to him? Gosh!..i hope it’s not my food.

Then suddenly last Sunday it hit me that I have read once in a book that if a toddler plays with his food, the food should be removed immediately to make him understand that the behaviour is not tolerable. Then give him back his food when he asks for it again and see how it goes. It just worked. I was wondering why I didn’t think of it earlier and to think of how many times I have wasted wiping the mess a dozen times in a day. My fingers are all dry and rough from the amounts of washing that I do. All the mess took me half an hour to clean.

Well it’s for sure that the mess is cut down by 80% now. I considered it a good improvement after so many months of “flying food” adventure.

The will that drives……

Once again I am on my quest for money making resources on the internet. Seems to me the best option now is writing for some bucks. I don’t know why I am screaming myself to get a job as fast as I can, so one thing led to another.

I found out that to write a good article or content I have to have the right keywords, SEO, social networks etc. My brain is bombarded with too much information that on Friday I suffered some sort of “brain damage”….my brain goes blank the whole day. Don’t know what to do. You know, it’s like for days you have been doing revision for an exam, and when the day finally comes your mind just go blank. This is one of the problems that I have, I am an anxious person.

I figured that I am too new to this internet business. There is so much to learn and absorb that finally I think to myself that I have to calm down and do everything step by step. Maybe it is greed that made me want to succeed at this instant. But I know if I go on like this I will end up not getting anywhere.

I remembered my father use to tell me stories about how people persevere and the will in their heart just drove them high to the world of success. So what is the definition of success? To me being successful is being recognized by myself and the people around me that I have sow the seeds and reap the fruits of my labor.

At this moment I will forget whatever resources I have read through, forget money, forget my stress. I will tell my brain just that. Sometimes the brain needs to be reminded to forget things that are stressful in order for us to breathe.
