We are still on Daddy phase! It wasn't actually that bad once I got used to it. I had a lot more ME time while Daniel hanging on Terry's ankle. Now I have a lot more time going down gym, doing more exercises / reading /looking Internet etc.
Daniel didn't reject me that much as he used to do, but he still prefer his Daddy over me on lots of occasions. He still prefer his daddy to read story to him though he wouldn't mind I read to him if I tell him that Daddy hasn't got time. He still prefer his daddy to cuddle him to sleep most time though he would let me cuddle him if he has no choice or in good mood. He is still lighten up million times when he saw Terry comes home than he would do when i come back from work, he would normally just give me a glimpse, on a good day he would give me a cuddle, but normally he would just go straight back to his daddy and order me 'Mummy cooking'. (we must have already modelled the gender stereotype for Daniel: Mummy get to do all the chores and daddy is the 'fun guy', daddy do all the fun things with baby, rough and tumbles!) . The most used sentence for Daniel lately is 'where's daddy gone?' though he ask 'where is Mummy gone ' as well but not as often as ask his daddy. The upside for me is , he threw a lot more tantrum to his daddy instead of me now. Terry actually said he wouldn't mind to be the second favorite to Daniel! Well, I might just take this chance to have some break. Lucky Terry is more patient to Daniel than I do, I rarely see him snap though sometime I saw him feeling like smacking Daniel.
Having said all these, Daniel is still very sweet boy. I have read him a picture book titled My Mummy Goes to Work, which is about a little boy whose mum goes to work but he knows that his mum still loves him so much. Daniel quite like this book and always want me to read this book to him, when I read this book he would touch my hand and say ' Mummy comes back...'. When we read him another story about a little boy who'd lost his parents in the desert, he would say' Sad! boy has no mummy...' then point me and say ' Daniel got mummy'. So he does start to emphasize. Sometimes Daniel is very funny and made us laugh. There was a day when Daniel really wind his Dad up, at the bed time Terry just want to get Daniel sleep quick, but Daniel just didn't want to cooperate by jumping up and down on bed. Terry threatened him 'if you don't calm down, daddy would go', we anticipated that Daniel would sit down as he normally does, however Daniel said ' Yep! ' loudly without hesitation, 'I want daddy go cause Daddy grumpy!' It was true that daddy was grumpy, this made us laugh, how come Daniel can read emotion at such young age? There are the occasions when Daniel was told off by Terry he would come to me for cuddle and say 'I've been told off by daddy'
