Now that Jamie can pass urine into the potty, she is now being challenged to pass motion into the potty as well. I said to her................
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me : Jamie, do you want these bright musical stars to be on the wall next to your bed? ***********************************************************
Jamie : Yes! ***********************************************************
Me : But you have to poo poo into the potty first, ok? ***********************************************************
Jamie : Yes ***********************************************************
Me : So where are you going to poo poo ? ***********************************************************
Jamie : ...in the potty! ***********************************************************
Me : **leaping with joy**** The above wallables can be found here!
Jeremy suddenly had running nose in the wee hours (suspecting he got it from CQ who is sick 2days ago) and the next thing I knew was, he's ill!! Without delay, I rushed him to the paed's clinic at Mount Alvernia. His appetite and milk intake has obviously taken a dip. Heartache to see him so unwell and not his usual self... haiz just hope that the virus will not pass on to any of us at home. [Updated on 2 Sept, 4pm : Jamie is now confirmed having running nose since this morning! And that's 3 now ;-( ]
*1st time sick @ 9mois
Today probably is one of my greatest satisfaction so far.... achievement in helping Jamie to be potty trained. YES! She finally allow herself to pass urine in the potty the entire afternoon till bedtime, 3 times!! How I did it? Well, I simply encouraged and with lotsa of lotsa of patience and understanding. Of course also with the help of this little gadget which captivated her so much! :D
A friend introduced this portable boys' potty to me few days ago which she has already placed an order with Amazon. I'm rather amazed by this little gadget and told her that she can consider passing this to me 2years later when Jeremy is capable of using it.
Did a simple patterns concept with Jamie this afternoon after chatting with a friend who did it with her 3yr old son. I'm pleasantly surprised that she's able to grasp the logic faster than I expected which I thought she needs at least few days more before I can see results. Well done!
After months of asking around, I've finally brought her to this dental clinic located at Suntec City. Thought this will be an easy job for her since we have been reading books about dental visits. But she simply refused to sit on the chair though the KidsCentral channel was switched on with the TV stucked from the ceiling! Finally she was willing to lie down....but it was on me then I lied down on the chair. The review : good set of teeth and no decay or whatsoever... but it confirmed that our girl's lower jaw somewhat is growing faster that her upper jaw. Dentist will review her next year.
After months of drooling... we finally see the little tooth emerging out !! Yea and Jeremy is 2mths ahead of his Jie-Jie when Jamie had her first tooth cut after 10mths of age.
Jamie chose an Art & Craft children reference book herself at the library on Monday. So I decided that we shall make full use of the book with her playdough. And here it is!!
After enquiring from a fren, I finally managed to locate the newly built NLB!! So, zoomed.... and both Jamie & Jeremy have their first National Library card ! So we will be visiting the library preferably once a week.
I brought Jamie to The Science Center again this round to catch the Dinosaurs exhibition.Not sure if she's able to appreciate these long extinct creatures but I'm rather doubtful of the origin of these bones.
I'm pleasantly amazed that I am still breastfeeding Jeremy with ease. Unlike Jamie whom I gave her breastmilk till around 7.5mths, Jeremy has more of it and I hope I can do it till at least when he hits 1year old. We all know the benefits of breastfeeding but the most satisfying moments I experience so far is the bond and affection that we both share. I have enjoy every moment I have with him.....
It's Jamie 3rd bday today and she seemed to be more playful & happier. I wondered if she understands the meaning of "birthday" ? Anyway, this year we had it simple for her, celebrated at home with CQ's parents, siblings & Jamie's cousins. It was relaxed, less busy and stressful.
Weather has been real bad since few weeks ago.. heavy rain early in the wee morning and humid hot sun in the afternoon. While we stayed at home most of the time, Jamie found her new "playmate" to keep her entertained for days!
This photo was taken when Jeremy was happily zooming left, right up and down the living hall one fine day. Look how fast he moved? omg, he looks rather huge in this walker!
(7.5mths old)
Here, I find my own sanity's world to recap all the children's developmental's progress as well as thoughts to share. Jamie, our first born, has turned 17, 9 years after I started this blog. Followed by Jeremy, turning 15 coming December. Joshua, the youngest in the family, just turned 11yo. Time flies ! I have just managed to retrieve access to this maiden blog after 9 long years of inactivity LOL
