What a simple chore!

Ah. When you become a parent next time, you'll definitely thank the invention of TV and cartoons.
Babysitting today demonstrated much of its potence in subduing a restless toddler.
My mum played 'Tom and Jerry' on the screen and that's it.
Adam was glued to it, lying on the bed enjoying material comfort from the pillows and not moving away from the bed.
After 2 hours, he got a little sick of it but nonetheless remained committed.

Kids his age are amazing.
I say that because once they start articulating simple short words, it's a chain reaction, they speak faster, longer and clearer.
There are meaning in things they see and they react different from their past.
They start describing and sharing what they find funny, lovely, amazing, disgusting and creepy.
Their needs are better expressed and not acted out without warnings e.g. stoning in one corner and initiate peeing after a while.
But after this golden period, I bet he'll turn naughty. Haha.
