A Night with Ayomide

I slept over at my sister's house yesterday and spent a wonderful night with my nephew. My time with him is always peaceful (oops, scratch that, I meant delightful . Seriously, there is a sense of peace in his childish pranks).

I met him and his nanny with his homework. Sincerely, I didn't get the point of the homework, it was hard for a child who just learnt to 'color' the previous class. I also didn't get the point. Why is he required to join dotted lines to form a solid one? is that supposed to teach him to draw? Anywayz, we struggled through the homework. I had to keep his morale up anytime he managed to pay enough attention and get it right. I also had to threaten to go back to my house like 16 times as well as threaten to tell his daddy that he had not finished his homework about 10 times to get us to the end. Phew!

While we were struggling with the homework, he taught me his new song 'Wittle, Wittle Spider" (Little, Little Spider). Everytime I asked him to sing another song, he'll go right back to "Wittle, Wittle Spider"


Then, the fun part came. For some reason, my nephew's best song is Greenland (TY Bello). I had a torchlight which I gave him to use as a microphone. Everytime I tried to change the song, he'll cry until I go back to Greenland. Even Ben 10 (his favorite cartoon- he keeps saying "I'm a Ben 10") could not distract him from the show. I had to beg him before I could sleep yesterday.

In all, it was a wonderful visit.
