waterproofing
oh yes. I was supposed to let you know what I got as a gift. It's called Waterproof-Mattress Pad by Osteocare. (my fren got it from Kiddy Palace) It looks like our regular mattress protector, but the underneath part is wateproofed. I've not tried it yet though...
I'll type out the entire thing for you:
Designed with your toddler in mind, Osteocare UK waterproof mattress pad is soft and comfortable for a restful night sleep. It provides waterproof protection for your little one's mattress, keeping it dry and safe from wetting. Now you can train your little ones to sleep in diaper-free comfort with no worries.

thanks. I think I'll just pop by to enjoy the pedi. got to tell them don't massage or anyhow press, scarely induce labour!!!
holding pee
although N1 is toilet trained since she was 2, she still can't hold pee.
She'll tell us, "I want to go toilet". Then that is about a 5-8min lead time you have to go hunt for one. If you can't find one, or it's not convenient to bring her, then you'll see the pee rolling down her legs. and the poor girl will cry, cos she knows she's not supposed to pee like that.
We've tried to train and extend this lead time. but it really depends on the urgency of the moment.

I've always wanted to ask all mummies w boys, how to train boys to stand and pee. obviously we can't demonstrate... does it mean it's a daddy's job?
waterbag
shane, you ah... so double minded. one day, you'll say I dun want to think about #2 anymore. then another day, you'll say, I wish I've the same luck as with #1 for delivery!
You know, i've a colleague whose #1 is 6, and #2 is 1. Even at 6, the boy has jealousy issues. but it's different fr when they're younger. He'll RATIONALISE the issues w the parents. E.g., when mummy tells #2, "good boy, you finished your water!", #1 will remind her, "I also finished my water, am I not a good boy? Why didn't you tell me??!?!?!"
haha! interesting ya? the challenges we face at any point!
