Congrats Wendy and Ruffy!
Sch- finally found one... 2hrs daily, went this morning to look see with Athena, she seems to be ok with, I like the convenient location, so settled!
Am VERY worried abt her falling ill (and passing to still very young Irvin)- bought gummy bears. One type is multivit, the other is something for building immunity (take for 10 days, stop for 10 days). Plus her usual codliver oil, and goatmilk tablets. That's about it for supplements hor? Got any chinese supplements?
Pottying- Athena basically knows how to pee and poo in toilet but she prefers to hold her bladder til she walks funny. She will tell us she needs to go if she's wearing panties, then we must get her there ASAP or get puddle. If she's wearing pull-up, she will NOT tell us. ZERO success with OUTSIDE toilets- the last time she got freaked out by stupid loud and scary automatic flushing that flushed every 2 mins, grr! She 100% poo in toilet though.
Spoke to Principal of kindy abt pottying- I asked if anyone will scold Athena for making puddles, she said of course not. H/e, she said other kids may point and A may be affected. I agree- A is very sensitive. So she says let A wear pull-up diaper, teachers will bring them frequently to toilet to ask if they want to void. Hopefully child-sized toilet more appealing, and positive peer pressure. Before child leaves for home, teacher will check to see if diaper soiled, to monitor.
I know A regresses on pull-ups... but this seems to be the mildest solution. On our side, still have 4 mths before she enters sch, we must persevere in pottying lor.
Barney frilly panties- my mum bought a few Barney panties with ruffles in Seiyu Bugis. Apparently quickly snapped up cos few days later, my aunt went for more... almost all gone!
