So, since we started on September by this mid October I announce that she's diaper free! Even if I put her diaper on it's not wet! Since last post I've had 1 accident wetting the bed at night, and a few pees before we reach toilet. So Alhamdulillah, I can save money now!
Her speech is growing each day. She still speaks in grammatically random sentences but I kept correcting her. Her vocabs increased, Indonesian and English. "Sudah selesai", "Masih ada", and a few more indonesian phrases that she managed to pull through. Some easy English sentences she managed to say perfectly, but there are still times that I don't even know what the hell she's trying to say.
She is now interested in vehicles (trains, cars, anything that moves), robots, dinosaurs, and other non-girls stuff. Her fave tv shows are Pocoyo, Tayo, Mr Maker, Hi5. Her fave movie is Toy Story and Wall E.She is very good in memorizing songs, even though sometimes she only got it partially but she got the words right! so I guess it's a good time to teach her phonics.
Her favorite activities are pasting stickers, building blocks, drawing, coloring. I'm trying to teach her phonics and get her to read more. Maybe during my maternity leave I'll try doing that. But she is such a random person. She'll just do whatever she wants to do.
Her reluctance to take a bath is still on going. Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are horrible. Got to put on earplugs and handle her with patience. Which is so difficult when I am tired as well. I am so dreading for the day that she can go take a shower willfully without drama.
These past few months she seemed to have become a picky eater. I am going to try to be more creative in preparing dishes. So difficult to ask my maid to be creative cos last time she worked in Saudi, they fed their kids with Cokes and Burgers.
She is in that phase called terrible two going three. Everything is a NO. And it is the time when she forcefully push her own ways and wants. In good days I can reason with her, but in bad days it's just a never ending screaming and fights. So tiring -____-.
I just wish these days will end soon, but then another phase will come along. Oh well, the beauty of having kids I guesss....
I always emphasized to myself, enjoy these times and more horrible and enjoyable times to come. Kids get on your nerves, but don't let your nerves give up on them. So don't fret and stress over them, it's just a phase they need to go through. Easier said than done.
