My shy buttercup.

"Taufik...don't show your tisserman. Shy Taufik. People might see it." I said to my son as he was putting his shorts within public eye view. I had said this like three times in the past few days. It must have connected somewhere along the line.

Yesterday at the playground he was having a row of a time playing with the kids there. Mid way he came up to me and said 'Taufik shee shee, Mommy." "You want to shee shee sayang? Okay come quick quick." I took off for the toilet with my little toddler by my side, climbing over the bench, running pass the lobby floor and into the toilet there.

While he was on the toilet bowl he said to me, "Taufik shy mommy. Close the door." The toilet door was wide open. Oh dear. I quickly closed the door. He pushed me away when I got close and said, "Taufik shy."

He actually wanted me to go out so he could do his business in peace and away from my prying eyes. Unfortunately that was no go. I was not going to have my son drowning in the toilet bowl, and worst still jeopardising all that toilet training by developing a fear of the toilet. No sirree Bob.

So thus began the mantra, "Taufik, mommy and far can see okay?" "Understand?" Thinking that I might get into trouble saying this I also added that his nanny, Mae Na and Dr. Narida can also see. Who knows he might put up a mighty resistance in the future when they need to clean or check on him. Have I thought of everything or what?
