I'm not looking forward to the toilet training process.

My kids were toilet trained at 3 and 4 yrs old. I use waterproof matteress protectors on all beds at home including ours. Can get them from Robinsons. For night training it was every 2hrs then 2 times a night then once a night.. It was extra for me as I was already waking up and doing night feeds for the younger one. It took about 2-3 months to get them totally off diapers.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the advice. I'm trying not to stress her coz I understand every kids progress differently & I know this will be a difficult period for her too. Which is why I have a reward system for her :)

hi Amie,

:) it is a revisiting my thoughts as we went through toilet training :)

Being the first time parent myself, i was diligent in toilet training my girl and when it came to my son, i actually delayed because i want my beauty sleep... :)

For few months now, our boy is free from diaper :) what we did before we started was other than prayer, we told our boy the plan, what he and we will do, he was keen so thus made the plan smoother... so I laid the waterproof fabric under his bed sheet, reduced son's milk before bedtime, and reminded him to go toilet before sleeping. For the first week, we actually stay up late and wake him to go toilet before we(either me or hubby) go to bed.

And I would wake 3-4hrs later (yes in the middle of the night) to check on him to make sure he is not wet and also get him to go toilet. On the second week, he is adapting well, he woke and went toilet on his own and went back to bed. Once in a while will come into our room to tell me about him peeing..

After 2nd week, he didn't go toilet that often, once instead of twice. We are thankful for the smooth transition..:)

When a child is ready, it is easier to train so don't rush or stress the child, if not, she will resist... try to encourage her and praise her when she manages to do it... and refrain from being angry or scold if she cannot, it is ok :)

加油!! your girl and you can do it!

jean.

Hi Susan,

This one is not the patch type, but is a pellet type which you can wear it like a wristlet or in a tag that can be hang onto your bag or stroller. Basically each pallet can last for 15 days or more. I tried it on my son by letting him wear almost 24 hours a day, at least there are lesser mozzies attacking him.

Hi Amie, How long does the patch last? I always attract mozzies so this sounds good but are they really effective?

Reluctantly, I choose to sprinkle (instead of rubbing) the ulcer with salt. It hurts to tears at that moment; and no more pain following the ordeal. Next day swollen, third day on the road to recovery.

Haha... I have the same problem with my girl (aged 2). She'd take her daddy's iPhone and run away with it. And when we asked her for it, she'd look genuinely clueless and the whole family goes hunting for it! -- problem: daddy's iPhone always on silent. :)

I bring Kai to the $10 haircut at Compasspoint level 3.

For you, Junior YS can sit on your lap while the hairdresser cuts his hair, and he will be entertained by a TV in front of him, although I'm not sure if the TV really helps, cos' there isn't much programme in it.. ha ha. Some of the hairdresser there are good. There's a woman called Fiona (if I remember correctly) - she's good and patient with kids :)

Christina - thank you :)

Tin - YS had a seizure attack, in medical term is called fits or convulsion. But since this is his first attack, the doc are not going to put him on long term treatment unless its going to happen again to him. He is fine now & has resumed back to school. Thank you for the concern :)
