Pictureless Friday

My first time posting without a single pic. As a very visual person, this is so unlike me. But I hope you will read through this.

Baby G : mu susu.. mu susuuuu ((I) want some milk, in Indonesian. slightly crying)
Me : Allright, I'll make you a bottle.
(done. handing it over to her)
Baby G : panaaas! (hot!!)
Me : OK, we'll wait until it cools off.
Baby G : angetin!! angetiiiiiin!! (cool it down! cool it doooooown!)
Me : It can't be that quick, you'll have to wait or you'll have it warm.
Baby G : waaaaaa...!! angetiiiin!!
(she started to cry)
Me : OK, OK.
(rushed to the fridge and put the bottle inside the freezer, if other moms know better instant cooling technique please let me know.)
Me : Here you go.
Baby G : panaaas!! angetiiiin!! (still hot! Cool it down! more crying)
(Me rushing back and forth to the fridge)
Me : It's cold now. Here you go.
Baby G : Noooooooo! no no susu!! (don't, don't want the milk! more and more crying)
Me : ....

I know you can't argue logically with toddlers, but sometimes, it just tickles your fancy too much. Seriously, I could use some of those tantrums then. Why should toddlers have all the fun, right? Can Moms have tantrums? (DRRRRIIINK THHHHAAAT MIIIILKKK!!!!)

    I have live through this tantrum. I used to put an ice cube inside the bottle it cools it off and provides entertainment. Now I put ice cubes in the oatmeal and they like to swirl it and melt it.

    I have these irrational arguments with my 19 month old too and I wonder where in the world I find the patience! Then I look at her adorable pouty face and can't help but find it completely endearing that she's now a little person that I am ACTUALLY arguing with! Ahhh! She's growing up too fast! (and I'm a freezer mom too...everything from bottles to grilled cheese goes in there for a quick cool down).

    My 18 month old just started doing this and I'm scared to think what it'll be like in 6 months!

    isi mangkok/baskom/gelas (yang cukup untuk dimasukin botol)pake air dingin, celupin botol susunya. kalau mau lebih cepet, tambahin es batu di air celupannya.

    Thank you everyone for the tips. Why didn't I think of ice cubes? Like they're hard to get magical crystals? doh!

    Well, I'm posting not only the matter of cooling down a bottle, but also arguing with a toddler and how you will always losing, either way. But, you can't hold a grudge longer than 3 minutes against a toddler, just like Jessica said, she melts your heart easier than putting your head on fire. To those in your teenage years/not having a kid yet: love your mom more and less arguing. :)

    may be you have to be calm down to your baby(that's a baby, unlike a superman hehee). because i'm not a mother(I'm stil young) so i can't give you idea, but you can use marta's idea, may be it work :).

    Ice cubes are a great idea. I have to keep that in mind for when I have a toddler! :)

    setahu aku, bikin susu jangan pakai air panas tapi yang hangat aja, utk mempertahankan kandungan gizinya. kalo aku dulu bikin susu buat mima, susunya dicampur air hangat (dari termos) kira-kira 1/2 botol (takaran minumnya dia), trus dicampur air biasa. jadi langsung adem, bisa langsung minum.
    btw bandonya baby G muat gak?
