Potty Training

Charis start to reject her diaper She will run away whenever we want to change her diaper Like last night, I want to change her diaper but she keep standing up and cried badly 宝贝很可怜的看着我。。。 But I have no choice, I have not start training her This morning, we took out the potty for Charis to try She dun want to sit on the potty But lucky she allows us to change the diaper without crying :) Did some reading on potty training And found some information to share: You may start start potty training your child if she: • Has regular, soft, formed bowel movements Yes • Can pull her pants up and down No • Imitates others' bathroom habits (likes to watch you go to the bathroom, wants to wear underwear, and so on) Yes, she will follow me to the toilet • Makes a physical demonstration when she's having a bowel movement (such as grunting, squatting, or telling you) Yes, she will keep pointing to her diaper • Has words for stool and urine Yes • Can follow simple instructions (such as "Gi

Her 婆婆 bought her a new toy from genting! A mini stroller with doll! Very excited over her new toy But she dun like the doll... Her 婆婆 got her a new pair of slipper too As Charis keep wearing hers But 3分钟热度 ,she only wear it for 1st few days After which, she 和 婆婆争 slipper。。。

In week 14 now

Yeah, in my 2nd trimester! ! ! Though I am only in my 14 weeks I can feel slight bubbling movement So excited over it! I can't wait for Baobao first kick~ Really looking forward to my next visit :) Hopefully I will know the gender too~ Already we are thinking of baobao name Girl names & boy names As if we are 1st time parents As usual dear give crap names taken after HK and TW artists again But... the feeling is great! And each time, dear mention he will work harder for #3 or more The feeling is much more super super SHIOK! Blocked ears is my only symptom now And one funny part is that I only know that I am hungry when I have gastric pain Jialiat hor~

Father & daughter

I strongly believe that he is trying to 收买 Charis over! 挑拨 our 母女感情。。。 by treating her so well Since he said he will NOT spoilt Charis ;p

Infant Care search

Brought Charis along to visit the infant care centre Going to look for IFC for baobao I have shortlisted 3 IFC but 2 are already fully taken up and have long wait list as well At first, this 3rd option is my final hope Since it is new and I pin high hope for it End up, still I need to queue in the wait list Very disappointing yet I have a surprise at home She bring up the maid issue and agree to have a maid at home Initially she dun like the idea of having a maid at home But our neighbour "enlighten" her and she 心疼baobao have to go IFC so young One sentence for my mum: She is GREAT GREAT GREAT MUMMY! On the hand, father in law fainted and is in hospital. He had stroke, all of us are worried Pray hard that he will recover soon! Some pictures dear took when we visited the IFC

Charis & BaoBao

Had a great time with Charis Her grandparents went to Genting since Friday morning Mom will be sad to hear that Charis did not look for her when they were away But I am very happy to spend my time with her alone :) Ever since I am preggy I have a guilty feel towards Charis Cos I cannot carry and play to her like before And I am afraid that I am not able to strike a balance for my two darlings Have been trying to let her know that I am preggy Showing her magazine with pregnant lady with a big bump and tell her that there is a baby inside and ask her to sayang baby which is my tummy Initially she will follow and keep sayang my tummy Now she totally bo chap But when I say I have baby in me She will show me her tummy As if she has a baby too Obviously, she still too young to understand But when Baobao start kicking me, I believe she will know By then I wonder will she feel threathen by baobao

Random post

Last night, I showed Charis my childhood album Realised that she did looked alot like me People commented that Charis look like me But I dun think so! And after seeing my old photo She did look very much like me The same hairstyle and flat nose, and we have the same grin No wonder, she will say Mei Mei when she see the photo... Charis can call us: Papa or ah pa 爸爸 = her daddy Mama 妈妈 = her mummy Mama or popo 嬷嬷 or 婆婆 = her grandma But she still dun know how to call gong gong 公公。。。 This morning dear called me up Saying that Charis is so sweet to him Charis hold his hand and lie beside him quietly Waiting for him to wake up After he is awake, Charis pointed to the wardrobe and call 妈妈,妈妈,弟弟,弟弟 He was surprised as we have never teach Charis say this word before Since we dun know the gender for baby 2 yet... Suddenly, she just say it out Just like the last time, when she say 妹妹 Of cos, it doesn't mind anything But it definitely bright up her daddy day!!! See my naughty Charis in action
Random photo! Charis can place 1 - 10 to the correct slot! Taken by her dad hp, resolution is very poor! 中秋节。。。 we went to MIL stall to celebrate, there is some KTV program going on Din take much, was busy eating and looking after her This is the most funniest scene, when her dad is nicely dressed up, she want to follow him out Wear shoes, and when her grandma say: 你没有带milk milk She went to take the bottle holder, Her grandma say again: 里面没有milk milk She went back to the kitchen to bring a milk bottle and put inside the holder And bring to her dad Cheeky girl, ask her to smile, she gave me this expression Buay tahan her~ My favourite one! Hi-5ing with her dad, she love Hi 5 show

Poor Charis having constipation

Brought Charis to see doctor last night She has difficulties in passing motion... Keep crying and crying when trying to poop The stool was struck, so we rush to a nearby clinic It was too late to insert any drug to loosen the stool so doctor have to dig out the stool with his finger We have to pin Charis down as she is struggling badly Glad that we brought her to the clinic He commented the stool was bigger than his finger He has to mash it then dig out the stool When we saw that, t was as hard as stone Charis is unable to push it out by herself Poor girl, no wonder she is crying so badly each time she try to poop Need to include more fibre in her diet meaning more papaya, tomato and banana Apple do not help much And one more thing, we have to change her FM again This problem is due to FM according to the doctor Jialiat, 18mth now, and we are still finding the suitable FM for her If only she will love her solid food more
