Potty training

It all started on a tues morn...lil one has been taking off her diapers for quite some time now. but on tues, she totally refused to wear them after her bath. instead she put her panties on. told her to tell me when she wants to wee wee potty. tues was a successful day. no accidents for me to mop up n she did actually use the loo even though there were a few unsuccessful wee wee potty episodes.

yesterday was fine till later that nite. i was so tired that i passed out on the sofa. hubbs was surfing as per usual. next thing i knew, hubbs had her milk in his hands n had stepped in a puddle of wee:) he was not impressed. told him not to be angry but tell her that she must tell us when she wants to go. she prob did tell me but as i mentioned i had passed out.

today..she did a small wee on the potty then lost track while playing n wet herself. told her again that she must tell mummy b4 she does it. so after i mopped up, she said she wanted to wee wee potty. brought her there n she actually peed some more. she is now napping of course in diapers :)

frens say it shud take a week. we'll see. hubbs is pretty excited since that will decrease the RM spent on diapers. its getting more n more expensive. lil one also is pretty sensitive so we need to change her diapers more often. if not, she will have nappy rash.

insya Allah, she will be starting playsch in march. called up the owner yesterday n they have a place 4 her. told me she can start immediately but i said we will wait till march since i have just started potty training her.really hope she likes it.more so since i can have some time to myself n not get cranky w her. taking care of her 24/7 w/out breaks is taking its toll now.more importantly, she will get to make n play w frens. she has been pretty good about sharing so far but i can see that she is getting more n more possesive over things. she threw a wobbly at the playground the other day since there was someone else on the dolphin swing. infact, whenever another kid touches it while she is on a different swing, she will say ' no! don't touch'.she has been trying to strike up conversations w other kids as well. we feel that sending her to nursery will do a world of good, insya Allah. we really hope she will like it.

as for me, i am feeling pretty lethargic. main reason i think is becoz i am sooo not fit. other reasons, it has been pretty hot lately. can't even remember when it rained last. clothes take only a couple of hours to dry. Alhamdullillah it has been breezy so I have been able to stop myself fr using the air condition. but last nite was pretty stuffy..so switched on the air con in the living room n water came out of it hahaha. tells us dat we have been ignoring it for awhile now, merajuk la tu kut :)

Potty Training book saving!!!!!!
________________________________________
Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. issue) recommends Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!!

Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate; I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.

Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend

Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!
