Since yesterday Dominic has been repeating after me - "Mummy says no Eh Eh Eh!", "Mummy says no shouting!" This is after I had told him not to whine his demands, but to try and speak instead. I'm heartened because this means my nagging has gotten into him somehow and he is trying to process and follow my instructions!
Several times Dominic caught himself whining and says "Mummy says no Eh Eh", it's as if he realises that he is whining and remembers that it's wrong. He is also trying to verbalise his requests more. I'd hint to him by saying "What do you want me to do? Mummy...?" and he'd try to complete the sentence - "Mummy open."
This morning was another milestone, he wants to use the computer, and said "Computer is off". I told him "Yes, it is off, cannot use." Then he tries to request for it "One time computer?" I thought he should be rewarded for asking so nicely and so I let him use it for a while before his nap!
It is an improvement! The boy is picky and has a hot temper, a combination that results in many crying tantrums! I hope he learns to verbalise his needs more.
