Jessica, Ester> Only train the child when he/she is ready... Thankfully, Luis is toilet-trained during the day really early (@ around 18 months). Recently, when he turned 3 (ie 36 months), seems that he is also to be toilet trained at night too... However, we do meet with a few "accidents" at night....Now, he is really good, wake either myself or his papa up to go to toilet to pee during the night.
Jessica, like you, I am also a big fan of Pampers Active and never really waivered or change, and it never ever leaked when I use it on Luis.... However, I also do try other brands occasionally....
Just nice, while I save on diapers for the elder one, I will have to start spending on diapers on this NB soon....
ppp> Long time no see and no hear.... Wow, it seems just yesterday when we met at Ester's place for last year's Lantern Festival gathering and your younger gal - Nianru is 13 months old already.... Do come in to chat chat when you have some time.....

many mummies simply take off the diapers. he will pee in his pants for a week or so, but gently tell him that he needs to inform u when he wants to pee. an incentive is to let him flush the toilet whever he pees successfully in the toilet. its interesting that many kids enjoy "flushing" the toilet! so its a motivation for them.
anothet way i know is tat some mummies buy potty training stickers. they will stick the sticker on the bottom of the potty, and when the child urinates on the potty, the sticker will change colour or magically appears! quite interesting, and many mummies claim that it works. The stickers i had seen it selling on the BP at SMH

my elder boy also uses the baby toilet seat for poo-poo. Its the kind that we put on top of the adult toilet seat.
at one point in time ,i wanted to buy the potty sticker, but the BP out of stock, and by the time the new stock arrived, my boy already knew how to go to the toilet already.

up till now, i still let my boy wear diapers to sleep during the nite time , even though he is toilet trained! cos scared he wet his bed accidently . but in the morning, the diaper is still totally dry. He also doesnt wake up in the night to pee. Guess he can hold his bladder quite well.. hehehe

MLB> Ester's suggestion sounds good but for FTWM like us, it's better to coordinate and arrange with your caregiver to practise the same routine everyday....not just weekends... Be patient and have fun!
Ester> Like you, because of the few accidents, my hubby also felt that it would be better to let him wear diapers when he is soundly asleep. Surprisingly, he does not allow us to wear his diapers when he is awake. So, either hubby or I must remember to help him wear diapers when he is soundly asleep and for more than 10 days liao, his diapers are also dry, either he wakes us up or control his bladder till the next morning then pee....
Furthermore, we bought the add-on to the adult toilet seat but Luis didn't like that. Since about 2 yrs old, he managed to seat himself on the adult toilet seat and balance himself on it... which is a very cute sight! Now that he knows that his poo is sometimes really smelly, he would ask us to go out and wait for him to finish his business, then help to clean him up...haha!
SheRhino> Good luck! Am sure, you gal will be fine after a while....

wah luis can balance himself on the adult toilet seat, so smart! randal is afraid to sit on the adult seat, always need to sit on the baby toilet seat.
mlb
yes , agree with luvbabe. u need to ask ur caregiver to help u toilet train ur girl. when i started toilet training randal , the teachers in school also did it when R attended school Otherwise, if u only train on weekedns, ur girl will be very confused, and not know which is the right thing to do. Jia you !! i belief very soon, ur girl can do it!

SheRhino> *hi5*....yeah, they are so young and so sensible.... really feel good, hor?
Ester> Yeah, he can balance himself and told me he would rather balance himself than sit on the baby toilet seat. This is good too, especially if he need to do big business outside of home....
miorei> jia you! am sure your girl can do it!

Regaring toilet-training, dunnoe why when I ask my boy "Wan to go Toilet She She", he quickly shake his head vigourously...he also refuse to try the potty...think he's too comfy in diapers.
Hey Luvbabe, when are you due? You got plans to go Fidgets before no. 2 arrive?

My boy if I recalled correctly is older than your gal...he's 30months already...so triple signzzz for me...but I guess for the time being, I'll just have to leave this part aside until he's more comfortable with it ba. Anyway, I got more problematic issues with him lar...
Hmmm...Are you planning for No. 2 already?

Springdance,
I kinda worry as kid get older, difficult to train leh and I'm not sending her to nursery soon + she don't drink much water...so timing her on pee so difficult. She's weird..like to follow adult action like wants to drink from cup (no plastic or paper cup), wants to eat using chopsticks, using fork, spoon, wear her on own shoes but not TOILET TRAINED! PENG SAN! She can tell me "pang san, you!" i faintzzzz...
Er?? no. 2...no way. Stop at no. 1 & only. M the oldest in this thread (should be). Turn 40 liao. I dont mind to disclose my age lah. Young at heart can liao. I envy those marry young and gave birth young. Y? U see..when my girl turn 20, i'm 60...so scary. Can't see her when she's 40 or so. My HB lucky worse...7 yrs my senior. How to have no. 2? No $$$....hee! hee!
So young mummies...have more babies! ha! ha!

Hey Jessica
Actually I think your gal quite clever ..can imitate so many things already. Dun get so stressed out about toilet training ya, she's still so young. Actually there are many other toddlers with more "real" problems..my boy is one example that has super slow development in many areas.
By the way, may I know why you have no intention to send your gal to playgroup classes? Perhaps she may start to imitate other kids in school going toilet when she sees them doing so.

Confirmed:
-sherhino,sam & sha
Hi Jessica,
IMO-if your gal is a #1,i would suggest you try convince your HB to send her to Pre-Nursery. Though they are just 2yr+,dun understimate these kids..you will be totally amazed by what they can do ,be it good or bad habits..that's part and parcel of growing up.
btw i like what you say "young at heart"!! i totally agree with you. Hi 5!

Hi SheRhino & MLB,
ha! tks for yr encouragement on "young at heart". Aiyo..when i turn 4 few mths back...sob sob..no more 3 liao. So mummies whom are still 2 or 3 nos...do treasure ah! we have some preserved on pre-nursery on few factors...find she can learn better at home and find out CCC whom are on 1/2 day do not get to learn chinese as mostly conduct in the late pm...so loose out on learning chinese if i sent her on 1/2 day CC. If full-day...not worth as i'm not working unless I wanted to start work but still dont feel like going to work leh...but sooner or later I need to go back workforce as need $$$. So we will see how when she's abt 3 yrs old.
SheRhino & Sprindance,
Fidgets...how do u go there? Is quite far.

Actually I think your gal is really lucky to have you stay at home "Quan Xin Quan Yi" take care of her..
Too bad I can't afford.
Due to my boy's delayed developments problems, I've started sending him to school since he was 2yrs old..hoped that the interaction with other kids can help to "motivate" him to imitate and learn.
Luvbabe
Me was out busy with an event yesterday! Dun think I can take leave tomolo...still got alot of billing issues to settle for the mega event although the top guns have returned back to their country.

Hi Luvbabe & isabelle,
Tks for yr concern. HB took 2 days leave to take care of Shannon. Much better now. Ya, weather these days unpredictable.
SheRhino,
Hope to meet up with u & yr kids since we r SAHM. Me staying near Ikea, if u come by, give me a note, ok? Can pm yr contact no.?
Hi Springdance,
Decided being a SAHM based on few factors ...i've no one to look after my girl (both parents are not here..MIL passed away), maid --- no way, infant care --- too x plus also my wish to care my girl though initially HB don't like the idea but he finally see the pic. as I am the best caregiver. Not sure if married late, give birth late is blessing for me as that time, I have to take care of my dad whom is on dialysis, having diabetes...lots of $$$ to pay monthly hence delay giving birth as afraid will be mentally & financially burden. When he's gone.....tried to have 1 but only came late. House paid off...no car...hence burden relief a bit. We just need to trim a bit..so long didn't go restaurant n have a good meal liao. But luckily HB still ok to go for holiday near by la...no more europe trip ...too x
(. sorry, didn't follow the thread till recently...what happen to yr boy? Did he improve after u send him to school? It's ok if not convenient to discuss here.

Gone are the days chinese is boring as now schools try to make this subject more fun. Happen to chance a chinese video on roadshow how this "yue" - moon character form and "san" - mountain. If they teach us in my generation...i wld be interested too. Luckily s'pore teach simplified chinese n not trad. chinese...too many strokes liao. U going holiday this weekend?

Sorry to know about your MIL..I can see that it must have been a difficult decision for you about deciding on care-giving responsibility for your gal. Actually, I must let you know that I really admire SAHM managing without any helper... Coz this "job" demands alot of hard work 24 x 7 and it doesn't come with any annual leave. You are one great mommy!
About my boy, well, it's a long story...basically he has always been rather delayed in development in terms of motor skills since he was young and now his oral skills. He's going through therapy sessions last few months but we may not keep up with the sessions next year coz it's a large demand on us financially and his improvement is slow.
Luvbabe
Yup am definitely grateful for my MIL being there to take care of my boy although most of the time, she will let him watch TV while she go about doing laundry or cooking.
Wow!! Going to start your ML soon huh? You intend to take a break until THE day arrive?

Springdance,
Admire SAHM w/o helper? ha! on the contrary, I admire those mummies got helper, MIL/mum to help out. Initial stage is really tough, near depression stage. Hate when HB goes to work...feels lonely, that's y decide to join this thread. I truly admire those whom got 2 kids w/o helper! crazy, madness!

jessica,
me too same like you..admire those who have help from MIL,own mum or helper especaily when you need to do something urgent and cant bring kids along,our personal time and doing simple things with hubby and so many more.
BUT other than that,i still prefer to look after then myslf. Quit job like your case(no1 to look after).
i don't really like to stay home with kids cos if face them too long at home i can go crazy at times(with their arguments,fightings,silly nonsense from my #2 etc).so every 1-2days,we will go out,to window shop,lunch,dinner,zoo,ikea etc
though it's a short outdoor trip,i tell you its GOOD but can be tiring for us cos come back lioa when they nap or sleep,we have to continue with the housework...

Spring> Yes, am starting my ML soon....to spend some quality time with Luis before I pop... I felt very guilty towards him coz had been working long hours.
Actually, I will offer again... Since we are "neighbours", feel free to bring your boy over to my place to play together with Luis if you want... Just give me a ring!
