huh.. now then I know cc cannot bring tutu ah. Then if I put Jr in cc full day cham le.. no tutu, no sarong, no Ah ma, no mummy, no daddy. So poor thing. Own bolster can bring? Bo bo is his next fav besides tutu. He need 2 bo bo at my mum's place n 3 bo bo at home!
slimz, phy, botanic gardans ah. I'm not familiar also. I'm onz if u all still keen.. no plans for Sat yet. But i dunno where to meet also.
dodo, I like ur quit tutu method! We joking tot of trying b4.. din know it can really work! I got spare ones.. see this weekend got energy to try out anot. I highly suspect jr will bang his head on the wall when he see me cut! Or maybe I shd pass him the scissors n guide him to cut up his tutu himself instead? Someone from another thread teach me the use vinegar... not a bad idea too.
2 yr old bday
Just keeping it small.. booking a hotel stay for the 3 of us only.. maybe ask my sis to come have a mini pre-bday celebration. Then actual day cut cake with grandparents can le.

good mah.. can kick off all the bad habits. my boy also sleep in sarong previously. luckily he stopped using it before starting cc. one of his classmates also kick off this habit of sleeping in sarong and tutu after starting cc. teacher said he poor boy... undergo cold turkey when starts cc. but he adapt very fast. within 1 wk, get used liao. bolster also no no. the teachers told me it's mcys rules that no bolsters to be brought to sch. only allow blanket. last time he must hug his 2 chou chou to sleep. now don't need already. sometimes even kick them away. seems like jr n my boy very similar in many ways hor.

i also think my gal is entering to the terrible 2 stage.
she now dun wanna clean her hands, bath etc.
n she will also kick a fuss on e fl.
i m also scare that she will hurt herself, e way she fling n turn.
so i tend to wait for her to settle down, her mood is ok then i drag her to toilet to shower.
too dangerous to have her throw tantrum in toilet
any advice on how to handle e kid at such stage?

cry baby, usually, if she's in a "safe" place, i'll stay away and tell her i'm waiting for her in another place. if she's in my room, i'll go to the hall and tell her to stop her bad behaviour and come to me in the hall when she's ready.
it works most of the time. but i must "ren" as i'll usually be seething with anger while she screams and throws a tantrum.

LV@biopolis allows my #1 to bring a sleeping aid, whether it's pillow, bolster, etc. Not sure about tutu coz at this age she didn't stay fullday.
Slimz, Bluelily and crybaby,
Shall we go Jacob Ballas then? Meet at the entrance.
Go in via Bukit Timah Road
If wanna go to the main park, then shall we meet at the Green Pavilion / Visitor Services Desk area? (Above the food court and carpark). If meet here, gotta drive in from Holland road.
What say you girls?

my gal quits her "tutu" within 2 days, i just cut into half and let her suck. She threw it away after finding it weird. After that, quited. recently just made her go cold turkey again, to quit her bolster @ cc. She keeps on biting, holding and smelling it during sch and the rest of the kids in the cc bring their bolsters to school too.
bluelily, my friend ever told me 1 method to quit "tutu" if jr is a clean freak. U can try tying a black thread around the "tutu". Then they will see it as "dirty", or another way is to make them throw away the "tutu" xin gan qin yuan.

Hi mamas, Long time neber come here liao.
Talking about tutus, my boy started to quit when I change a new one. He will cry for it at night but I will try to distract him by sing song, patting him telling it is late, everybody is sleepingliao. I muz say it is not easy, have to bear with his cries sometime jus act blurlor cos he dunno how to talk. Had a few days of sleepless nights.
After about 1 week or so, he quited.
Mummies, Don give up, xian ku hou tian, jia you!

tub, my boy loves soup. So whenever my mom prepares soup, he'll lap it up!
bluelily, I think my boy also like yours, don't like milk in other stuff. Only like bottle... still like baby!
RE: Terrible TWO!!
Ladies, I'm probably one of the most evil mother here. <font color="ff0000">I BOUGHT A CANE!!</font>
No choice! My boy every night watch TV until 1+am, simply refuse to sleep in his room, like to doze off in front of TV. Such bad habit! When we switch off TV, he will scream and cry. Buay Tahan!
So last week bought a cane at hardware store. Uncle asked me, "Want thin or thick one??"
"thin one can already"
"thin one beat very pain leh"
"HUH??? then give me the thick one"
Believe me, it looks scary enough... And it works.
Just flash it and my boy guai guai go back to his room already!
Hahaha.... **EVIL LAUGH**

my gal used to b like your boi's timing when she was still having e bad habit of latching to sleep
she onli started to sleep around 10+, 11 after we weaned her fr that a couple of mths ago.
mayb u can try to stop / limit his 4/5pm nap to a shorter period?
so that he b tired earlier at nite.
Then b4 he gets started on e tv, try to place him in either yr room or his room. but without e tv.
read / sing to him,, basically not too easily excitable activity.
so as to wind him down to e mood to sleep.
hope that helps.
for our case, we did force her (really made her stay in her room, even though she cries badly) for a couple of nite. N after awhile, she kinda get it.
n it helps that she seem to b scare of my hubby.
so if i shout for my hubby, she immediately lie down in bed.

deerdeer, sumana is semi-trained. she will pee standing up in the toilet and occasionally sitting on the wc if she's in the mood. for pooh pooh... still wants to pooh in her diapers. but she's not wearing diapers at home liao. can tell me 90% of the time. i was so stressed a few weeks back but after a while, i just let her go diaper-less and kept reminding her to tell me if she needs to go to the toilet. Meantime, we just had to keep cleaning her (*&&*%%$ as she made a mess. grumbled under my breathe but din scold her. now almost ok liao... well, most of the time.
tutu saga: still pending. sleeping time still need her TUTU! sigh also.

Oh now Jr will tell me he wanna shh shh.. .BUT.. everytime i bring him to the toilet.. his bird shrink back. No mood? Cham... Most of the time he say wanna shh shh cos he wanna play with the tap or dun wanna be on diapers. Poo he still say NO when asked everytime.
Steffi, re tutu, that's bad. Jr will also ask for tutu when he saw a video of himself with tutu on! With the exception of today, he seldom ask for tutu liao. Just that he cant zz... when he ask I say tutu at Ah Ma house.. then he's ok. But cant zz also v kelian.

Haha, think I typed too fast! The baby is my brother's lah.
Hmm, talking about that, think many of the dec mummies either have #2 already or on its way into this world. Should be time for the rest of us to consider if we wanna have another one
And no, I don't have a #2 yet. Now very comfortable balancing work and family.

Toilet training
My boy also still not really trained. He will still con us into sitting him on the toilet seat but no 'product'. lol.
That day took him to children's toilet at Taka.. haha, so funny to teach him how to use the kids' urinal. He wanted to wash his hands there!

Tutu
Seems like a few of us struggling to wean the 'magic mushroom'. Doesn't seem easy at all!
I'm lucky that I didn't allow my boy to use it when he was young... He only sucked his thumb for a while and I also consciously stopped him whenever he did that. So now, easy for us. He only needs his favourite pillow to fall asleep with. I remembered hiding his pillow for a few weeks and he would wake up in the middle of night and cried. When I returned him the pillow, all is well now. Peaceful sleep for both parents and boy.
