THINK BEFORE ACTION

Jonathan sometimes touches his feeding button (must upload picture of it one day).

3 reasons:

1. It's itchy
2. He wants to get my attention.
3. He's hungry

We have warned him many times. I have even slapped his hand for doing it. Don't want him to yank it.

But today and on few other occasions, it was reason number 3.

I forgot to feed him...why? cos i was surfing the internet, looking for clipart, fonts, etc. Lost track of time.

He kept touching his button, I kept raising my voice 'JONATHAN!" to ask him to stop and even threaten to turn off TV.

Only realised it when I went to the kitchen to get a drink and found out he had only 180mls of water 1half hour earlier. I asked Jon and he said I haven't fed him.

It was 8pm. One hour way past his feeding time.

I apologised profusely....should see his face when he saw the milk...all smiles :) All he did was tell me he was hungry by touching his button and calling me.

Moral of the whole incident? THINK BEFORE YOU ACT, ASK BEFORE YOU TAKE ADVERSE ACTION, THERE'S BOUND TO BE A REASON....lesson learned...guilt felt and love and sayang him even more.
