Toilet Train

If you're wondering whatever happened to my attempts of toilet training, I would say it's a delayed success. Hahaaha. In other words, no success so far. We have tried 2 weeks and I don't think she's ready yet. So now we still keep her in her cloth diapers most times.

She is just starting to grasp the idea of going to potty. Like when I'm peeing in the toilet she'll say, "ibuw potty". She sees a bowl she'll start to sit on it like sitting on a potty. I think maybe last time I was rushing things. I should have introduced her to it slowly. Let the idea sipped into her mind then train her. I have a lot of helps from youtube potty training's video. Free and easy!

That's where she learned the word potty. Previously I introduced toilet, pipis, pupup and NOTHING worked. Potty seemed to pretty much described them all. Either that or maybe it's just because it's youtube who said it -___-. Maybe I'll try again in a few months time. So far I'm still trying to discipline her (and myself) to at least go potty before sleep and first thing in the morning. Sometimes this lazy ibuw is too tired and fall asleep first.

A point to note: when you are teaching your child to be disciplined, you too should be as disciplined. YOSH!

Her First Days of Playgroup

Late post again!

Last Monday, 5 March 2012 was her first playgroup day. I went in with her for the first 2 days. Their program is play first thing when they went in. Then after 30mins, they sing, draw, read a book, coloring, etc. After 30 minutes they wash hands, go potty, then have 30 mins snack. After snacking before they go home they sing songs, read books, etc.

It sounds like something we do everyday at home right? But I find it's good for her to socialize. The first 2 days I went in she was so clingy (typical), and was such a crybaby. During the 3rd day I sent my maid to spy on her.... She seemed to be playing well, and she loved music time. The 4th day a bit chaotic with a bit of cries here and there. The 5th day was a bit better. Then after that... 1 wk holiday. It was such a wrong timing to put her in!

Anyway I'm crossing fingers on how she'll be next time she goes back to school. Overall, I think she enjoyed it. She always cries when it's time to go home. When she's home she refuses to take off her uniform and socks XD. SO cuuuuutte! She got along well with the boys mostly. So overall, I think she'll be just fine :).
