Potty Training

It was a long holiday for Mommy & Daddy (Labour Day and Wesak Day holiday replacement). Poh Poh and Gong Gong came for a short stay in our new house. I can call Poh Poh already, but can't call Gong Gong yet. So, I'll just say 'Hi' whenever I wanted to address him. Or sometimes I'll just call him Poh Poh too! To me, as long as he knows I'm talking to him, that's ok :)

Poh Poh suggested to Mommy to get me started on potty training, since she's on a long holiday. So, in their first attempt, she removed my pampers and let me wear just my pants. Every 5-10 minutes, they will surely ask me if I want to go 'shi shi'. I will nod and Mommy will removed my pants and let me sit on the potty (they transferred it from the batroom to the living room now, for my convenience). After sitting there for less than 1 minutes, I'll stand up and say 'boh boh' (No, in hokkien) and then run away. Sometimes Mommy will carry me to the bathroom and ask me to 'shi shi' there. But it always ended up with me saying 'boh boh' and struggled to be let down. So this kept on repeating for a few times, until they stopped asking me. And then it happens..... Mommy has to clean up the floor and called it the day by putting me in my pampers again. They tried this for a few days, and I did told them once correctly - so at least there's a little achivement on my part :)

Since then, everytime they asked me if I wanted to 'shi shi', this is what I'll do - with my pants on, hehe :)

To buy or not to buy?

I heard Mommy has been asking Daddy this question lately - do you think we should get a car seat for Szeyi? They have bought me to Anakku twice and ask me to sit in this bulky chair with belts all over. The first time I took a look at it, I straightaway shook my head and struggled not to be put there. Instead, I asked to be put inside the cute walker opposite it!

Later I found out that Anakku is having a promotion for this particular car seat (30% less), so that's why they have been considering of buying me a car seat. But when they finally got me in, I screamed and yelled as they tighten the seat belt on me. Since then, I never like a car seat.
So, one day before the promotion ends, they tested this out on me while we're in the car, going somewhere:

Daddy: SzeYi, sit down. Don't be naughty
(I love stepping on Daddy's cassette holder and like seeing them popped up)
Mommy: Come SzeYi, sit down. Let's tie the seat belt. See Mommy is having seat belt, so is Daddy. And so is Doggy and Ribena Berry here.
Szeyi: Mama, nen nen
Mommy: Ok, you wear your seat belt and mommy will give you nen nen
Szeyi: (Climb back into the back seat and let mommy tie the seat belt)



After this, both of them decided that I don't need a car seat after all. Yippee!

Caught in the act!

I have never felt so happy like today. Amah gave me full freedom to do as I wish as she attempted to cook dinner with me messing around in the kitchen.

I was too engrossed enjoying myself until I didn't notice that Daddy & Mommy came back! And guess what they caught?

Oops! I was not even wearing my clothes. It was too warm these days and I wouldn't let Amah put on my clothes. And my favourite spot in Mommy's kitchen is to play with her plastic containers.... Since I'm tall enough to open every drawers, Mommy has moved everything away, but Amah asked her to leave these containers there so that I can at least entertain myself when she's busy with other things.

We're moving!

It's been awhile since I last blogged. We're moving house so everybody is very busy. Well, it has been nearly 2 months - we actually moved on the 8th day of Chinese New Year aka 25th Feb 2007. I didn't get to go online... will have to catch up again real soon.

Well, here's a view of my room, with all my toys and things.

Tigger

I got a present, a CNY gift from Aunty Lean Nee, mommy's good friend on Feb 16, 2007. When I first got it, I was quite afraid of it, coz it'll vibrate when it's tail is being pulled. At that time, I still don't know how to pull its tail.

Now, after 2 months, I could actually pull it's tail, and know that it's called Tigger. Thanks a lot, Aunty Lean Nee :)

Drinking on my own

I can finally drink on my own now - which mommy's really proud of. She has breastfeed me for 15 months plus and according to her, I weaned off without any problem. Of course occasionally I'll pulled at mommy's blouse and ask for nen-nen (normally I did this very discreetly, I'll direct her to the room first), but after sometime, when I discovered that there's not enough for me, I voluntarily opt for the formula, to mommy's dismay.



Mommy: Szeyi, do you want nen-nen?
Szeyi: Nodding head
Mommy: Mommy breastfeed you, ok?
Szeyi: Shake head
Mommy: Then mommy make formula for you?
Szeyi: Nod Nod



Now I can hold my own bottle :)
