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 "Give me the toy.") Yes
• Understands the physical signals that mean she has to go and can tell you before it happens No, she will only tell us after she pee
• Dislikes the feeling of being in a dirty nappy Yes
• Has "dry" periods of at least three or four hours (this shows her bladder muscles are developed enough to hold her urine in and store it) No, her diaper is always full
• Isn't negative about everything No, she dun dare to sit on potty
• Understands the value of putting things where they belong Yes
• Demonstrates a desire for independence Yes
• Can walk and sit down Yes

Some important points to take note:
• If your child has started to show an interest in potty training, that's great.
• But don't push her to get through it faster than she's ready to.
• If she gets nervous, she could start withholding her stool, which can lead to constipation and other problems.
• Don't get upset or scold her which will only make your child less interested in training
• She'll be afraid of making any more mistakes and making you angry.
• She may also start withholding her stools, which can lead to painful constipation

True, I heard a true case from the Doc, a toddler is so scared of potty that he need to be carried by his grandma when poop poop

So I shall go slowly on Charis, NO RUSH! Let her take her time to get used to this new change.
Meanwhile, we will keep telling her that: 尿尿要讲。。。
And I need to get her some training pants and panties over the weekend.

Arrival of baby Nicholas

19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38...

Kolby can walk @13 mth

Kolby started walking on his own a few weeks ago.. He is so happy when he can walk on his own to me.. I am so proud of him.
8 June 2015, the day Kolby come to my life. Cannot believe 1 year has past, just in a blink of eye, my kopi boy is 1 year old. Happy birthday Kolby! Mommy loves you always! Be happy and healthy! It is my only wish.  Oh my, I survived 1 year without maid! Seriously I cannot make it without my mother. 真的是世上只有妈妈好! 家 有 一老,如有 一宝 ! 很幸运,我有两宝!!! And I am also happy that I have breastfeed my kopi boy for a year and still going on! The amount I pump in the day is only half of what he is drinking in the day, I am surprised that I can nurse him during the weekend, and at night. It is quite amazing how our body works when baby is around. I read from online that there is always milk for them. And it is true! Another good news is I managed to lose more weight, from L size to M size now, I managed to wear back some of my pre-preggy dresses and tops. I still have a tummy to slim down before I can wear back my pants.  I will continue to exercise to make it happen.
