Flower Bath
Interested to know about my verdict on flower bath to cease Justin’s Teh Pao?
I bathed Justin with flowers twice before Chinese New Year, and he really became less clingy to me, but more attached to hubby. However, I changed the formulation of bathing with 7 different types of flowers to bathing with 7 hibiscus only. They’re the only flowers I could get at home as my neighbours sprayed some pesticide in his garden before CNY and most of our plants are near to his. Better be safe than sorry.
For the first two times, Justin didn’t want to bathe in the water. I think he’s confused why there’re flowers in the water, and kept taking out the flowers. See?

However, after staying a week in Penang with me only at my parents’ place, he became clingy again and refused to be carried by my maid or hubby. So, I decided to try the flower bathe again.
During his evening walk today, I took him around the garden and plucked some flowers. He was having a good time as he never knows that he can pluck those flowers! Hopefully he’s not doing this behind my back, if not my MIL will kill me!
After that, we washed the flowers and placed them in his mini bath tub. He was eager to go in and play with the flowers, while I decorated him with these 2 yellow flowers which I have no idea what’s the name.

Both of us were having a good time and Justin refused to come out from his tub.

Well, I went out for a while with my friend who’s back from Finland at night, and he sleep at MIL’s room first before I carried him back to my room when I returned. MIL said he’s doing fine, and didn’t cry for me. That’s effective enough.

Hide those novelty socks with the hem of a pair of tailor-made trousers. Team with an appropriate shirt and tie and you are good to go (remember to leave those flashing Cufflinks at home).,,

Does dat really work? hmmmmm *wondering*
Any type of flowers will do? Fill the tub with water and just dump the flowers into the tub, rite? Easy job and I guess no harm in trying though.

Egghead, your Luke only clingy, but not jealous yet. Wait until your wife’s pregnant again then try out.
Msau, I don’t believe it too at first, but just give it a try. No harm right? I just put any flowers, dunno if there should be certain types or not. SQ also starts to get jealous leh?
Tracy, well, it works for a while but then the spell broke, and I gave it a try again. I think it works if we believe it gua…
Zara’s mama, yeh, lots of people told me that Justin doesn’t look like Chinese, not even look the same as me or hubby. Maybe I always want a mat salleh baby, so came out the results like that.
