A WEEKEND FULL OF LOVING!

Yes, I had a wonderful weekend, my people. The weather was crappy, so the family stayed in and did what families do - play, watch cartoons, eat lots of food (because I did a lot of cooking), break up fights between the boys (yes, TE and Bomboy don dey fight oh!) and get loads of rest.

Oh, and I got lots of kisses from everyone. The kids kept giving me kisses. Hubby kept giving me kisses. I felt really loved oh! You would have thought it was my birthday or something. lol! That is what I call "jollof rice induced - loving", it is when your family is filed with good food and they have no choice but to shower you with affection and do everything you want. ladies, take a cue! hahahaha

Anyway, there was only one sour spot this weekend. Well, maybe 2 but one was less sour than the other. For one thing, I didn't get to go watch Quantum of Solace as originally planned. What with all the love I was receiving, it was hard to leave the comfort of my warm home and head out in the rain even though I do love my friends.

Secondly, and by far the most important sour spot of them all, was the treatment I received from Officer Bomboy. Oh, yes, he gave me loads of kisses and hugs all weekend, but all that stopped when he got upset, which was often. right now, you are asking yourself, "What could make that sweet baby with the dimpled smile upset?"

The answer is - WHENEVER BOMBOY SAW MY HUSBAND COME NEXT TO ME.

And since it was a "jollof rice loving" filled weekend, that was often, oh!

My people, see me see trouble. You know Bomboy got the 'Officer' part of his name because in the past he started 'blocking' his father's access to me. That was in february, but over time, the Officer focused on other things and Husband and I were no longer under his watchful gaze. But, this weekend, the Officer was in full force. If Husband came to give me a hug, Bomboy would run up to us and spank only me. Wonderinf why I was the only one getting spanked, even though it was his father that came near me, my hubby responded that the boy was trying to "protect my chastity."

LAWL!!!!!!

As a mother of 3 children that has been married for almost 5 years, I have to say my chastity went missing *ahem, ahem* some time ago. lol! But its kind of cute, emphasis on "kind of" that my baby wants to protect it.

Anyway, Bomboy's 'blocking' stunts did not stop there. He'd be in the living room playing with his siblings and when he heard hubby and I laughing in th kitchen, the bobo would sprint, Usain Bolt style, into the kitchen and shout "NNNNNAAAAH!!!" at us, grab my pants and drag me out of the kitchen so he could keep an eye on me! No joke!!!!

His father gave me a kiss while the kids were sitting at the table and you should have seen the evil eye Bomboy gave me from his high chair. I swear, if he could jump out of that high chair, he would have dunked on my head! The boy was so angry! His older sister and brother just thought hubby and I were silly. They only said, "Mommy, Daddy, stop kissing!", but Officer Bomboy, na wex wey im take vex! I think his father got some satisfaction out of making Bomboy upset because after a point, it seemed as if he just wanted totaunt the little boy by coming close to me repeatedly!

lol!

Anyway, that was my jollof-rice loving weekedn oh. And, I am still trying to get Bomboy to not be angry with me. I will give him some rice, I know he likes that, maybe then he will stop gicing me the evil eye. Silly little boy!

na jealousy...hes jealous of ur hubby's time out with u....period...lil funny ones.

Bola said...

Boys are always jealous of their father when it comes to mum and daddy doing things together and so are the girls.Girls are worst because if you refer to your hubby as my husband she will tell you, NO, he's my husband.That's why in most cases, girls are closer to their father while the boys are mummy's pet.

Shalom!

lol.
your son is in love with his mum oh, he thinks his dad will take her away!
SO cute.

ChiefO said...

VOLTRON! the mummy defender. the boy doesnt want an aburo yet and it seems he is working hard at it. for all u know, a kiss can become bomboy's aburo (damn all the dont kiss a girl u would get her preggy yarns don scar my mind)

u wonder why he comes after u? he comes after u cos u r the one he can handle or so he thinks. he comes after u bcos growing up when a girl gets caught kissing a boy. the girl would most likely be the one to get scolded (talk about double standard)

can we change his name from officer, cos that officer thing get as he be, too bland (we know how olopa be) plus this one u r trying to make him look the other way with serious jollof rice. i think we need to make him a state trooper. we all know troopers dont joke, they pull u over be sure to get a ticket.

my niece did the same to most of my females friends that came to visit when i visited naija in 2005. it was serious WAR!
sorry for the lengthy comment...

thanks for always checking in.

Ekoakete said...

LOL! I know the feeling. Anytime Akobi saw me so much as hug ololufemi, she would throw a tantrum, rolling on the floor and all... I guess it never occurs to them where they came from.

All that loving vs Quantum Of Solace? No contest. You made the right choice...

NigerianDramaQueen said...

-Bomboy is really a mama's boy!

isha said...

My goodness! Your kids keep me rolling me. LAWL! That's just so cute. Oya Mr Right, come and marry me quick quick, so we can start this baby making business. lol.

Sting said...

That's really cute that he did that. i bet u didn't realize u were his personal property?

One of my sister's dogs used to be so possessive of her. Whenever one of the kids would hug her, u need to see his reaction. He would leave whatever he was doing and bark at them. It got really bad, you couldn't even stand too close to her without him growling.

But ur son is cute sha.

LG said...

SOLOMONSYDELLE said...

How you dey, my sista?

@ Bola: na wa! My daughter told me the other day that her dad is her husband and he is my father and I should not take food from his plate.

?????

Just like you say. lol!

@ ShonaVixen: exactly, why did he not attack his father? So not fair!

@ Wordsmith: How body? Oya, read quick quick oh!

@ Jaycee: lol! Over protective is more like it. hahaha.

@ notjustok: Ah, you have finally made your way to the ...Easier... side, eh? Welcome and yes, prepare yourself oh! Especially if you have some rambunctious boys. lol!

@ Undacovasista: lol! haven't been to your side in a while. And, I need to step up my commenting overall. I just read blogs now and leave no comments. Okay, off to your side.

@ Nolimit: "next time tell him how he was "formed""

So he can beat me well, well, eh? Nope. I don't think so.

lol!

@ geisha.song: Its cute, but the guy has already discovered girls and always abandons me properly when he sees little girls his age. lol! i should blog about that sef.

I saw your blog and think that is a fun thing for all of us bloggers to participate in. I think I will have the kids sing for you. How does that sound? Let me know oh!

@ Chiefo: you are too funny. Voltron, State trooper...

Abeg, I just want peace in my house. I'd rather not sneak around to get a kiss from my hubby but as you can see Voltron/State trooper/Officer bomboy no dey make I gree! lol!

Good to see you!

@ luvvie: he is cute! lol! Thanks so much for stopping by, my sista!

@ Naapali: Come to think of it, the way that boy runs, I should encourage him in athletics. Who knows...

Anyway, how you dey?

@ Nefertiti: Hey you! Don't mind the boy. Like No limit suggested, maybe I should tell him how he came to be, lol!

@ simeone: jollof rice loving is something serious oh! In fact, last night I cooked curry chicken and from the minute hubby walked in the door and sniffed the air, I got some more kisses! lol!

@ Bumight: you this babe! I trust you. How nah? Hope school is okay and your nails are looking tight! lol!

@ T&T: my sista, don't mind the boy. Just yesterday he jumped off me when he saw this little girl with pink barrets in her hair. That boys love is only when his dad 'threatens' his position. lol!

@ Sherri: So nice to see you back! That recent post of your was so sad, but I thank you for educating me and reminding me that there is so much suffering around the world. far too often, it is children who bear the brunt.

People, check out Sherri's latest post, oh!

@ Ekoakete: hahahaha. Akobi is too funny! I personally think girls are much worse than little boys when it comes to this behavior.

And, you know what? My hubby agrees with you on the lovingvs. movie thing. So do I.

*wink, wink*

@ NDQ: lol! How body, my sista?

@ Isha: lol! "baby making business" rotfl!!!! My sista, take ya time and enjoy Mr. Right before you have small children blocking your man's access to you oh!

lol!

@ Sting: my sista! no mind am. He thinks I am his property indeed! Kai, that dog dey make me fear! lol! Na wa!

How nah?

@ LG: hahahahaha! why didn't I think about "shiken"? My sista, thank you for reminding me. Off to do that immediately. lol!

and i nearly choked laffing at Officer B's stunts. Just like his dad, if i had a child like that, after a while, i will really devote a lot of time to "get with" my iyawo just to really aggravate that child. lmao! it will become a sort of sport if you will. I mean, you can not try to block the very event that is responsible for your presence dude!!! didnt he get the memo? LMAO!!

Favoured Girl said...

Awww your son is so cute! I guess he knows that Daddy is a boy and Daddy likes you so:

Daddy = Competition

One of my friends said that her last son used to do that too. She and her hubby figured out that he was trying to prevent any "aburos" coming to take his position as the last born! Figure that's why your older kids don't care anymore? lol
