.:: Man Of His Words ::.
Last weekend I've made a deal with Ilyas.
I allowed him to buy something from the provision shop upon his endless whining while he has to sleep alone in his room starting from this week onwards. Oh yes, all these while Ilyas has been sleeping in our room, except on weekends when he sleeps with our maid.
I knew that he badly wanted to go to the provision shop and without much thinking, he sealed the deal with a handshake.
So yesteday, we reminded him of the deal he has made with me and we even went to shop for night lights to be placed in his room. When bedtime arrived, without much coaxing he went to his room and after tucking him in bed, he even requested us to close his bedroom door.
Initially, Bebeh wanted to accompany him till he fall asleep but I told him not to start a habit which we may not be able to keep and we ended up leaving his room after he has settled in. I told Bebeh not to put too much hope and even prepared his mattress in case he decided to run into our bedroom late at night.
This morning when we woke up, to our pleasant surprise, our son has kept his words and slept soundly through out the night, alone in his room.
Dear Ilyas, both Ibu & Abah are very proud of you. You are definately, a man of your words. Keep up the good work, son!
