Potty Train - 4th Day (Part 2)

In continuation to the earlier blog this afternoon, here is the report of the second half of the day. :P

Jayden did it again!!! I am so happy..

Other than he wee wee during his nap time, he stayed dry for the whole day till now (we're going to bed soon)! Since he napped in the cradle, the floor was wet when he was taking a nap. All I did was just to mop the floor clean and dry during his sleep. :o)

After he woke up from his nap, he accidentally wee a slight bit while feeding him milk as he has forgotten that he was diaperless.. Once he found that out, he held his bladder immediately, continued drinking milk until he was done, sat on the potty and continued pee-ing. :P

Throughout the day, he has been diligently using his potty for all his needs.. including the last but not least.. poo poo time!!! I was a little concern earlier on as he had not done his "big biz" till evening.. I thought he didn't wanna do it on the potty..

Thank God I was wrong.. Just now, he took the potty and sat on it.. Then he said to me "poo poo". Phew... Finally!!! I was darn happy!!

In the end, he did it so well.. and a lot too!! When he was done, he said "daah" (which means done) and stood up, took a look at his stuffs and said "yay" followed by "yuck... lak lak" (lak-lak means dirty/spicy/bad stuff/something he doesn't like) I do not know where he got the word and idea from but that's his definition and.. it's his word! :P

I think the potty training is so far so good.. It's soooo much much much much better than my expectation though.. I am a happy and proud Mommy!! Hehehe.. :P

Potty Train - 4th Day (First Diaper-less Outing!!)

Since yesterday's achievement of doing his potty successfully, Jayden seems to gain more confidence in his potty job.

This morning, Jayden came to me and whispered "p.. p" which I thought he was being cheeky and wanna play with me.. Then, he continued to whisper "p.. p.." and a sudden message came to my mind that he might be saying "Pee Pee"!! Immediately I replied "Oh! Pee Pee! Pee Pee in the potty!" Then, Jayden quickly ran and grabbed the potty, let me pull his pants down, sat on the potty and.. PEE!! Yay!! :o) This is the second success - a continuation from yesterday evening..

After that, I received a call from a customer ordering some stocks. Since it was still early before Jayden's nap time, I decided to deliver the stocks to her. I was planning to have Jayden on his diaper as I thought that he might not be able to do it outdoor.

However, Jayden was so confident that he didn't wanna wear diaper during out outing just now.. It was quite a few hours outing.. And guess what, he did it!! He kept saying 'pee pee' when he needed to do it and yes, he did it in the public toilet!! Yay!!! :o)

Jayden, Mommy is sooooo impressed and soooo proud of you! Great job well done J!! :o)

Potty Train - 3rd Day

Today is the 3rd day I put JJ on pants without diapers. I have been trying to leave Jayden without diaper whenever possible (when we are at home and he is awake). For the previous two days, there have been accidental wee wee, on the pants on on the floor. I admit that he is smart enough to 'wee' on the floor instead of rug, bed, couch or whatever furniture! Thank God!! :o)

Today is the most surprising day out of these 3 days!! Just now, Jayden took out the potty.. Sat on it.. And then stood up, bent slightly.. And WEE!!! Then he said: Yay!!! After that, he sat on it again.. stood up.. bent slightly again.. and POO!!!! Wow.. Thank God the treasure all gone into the potty... :o)

Jayden, Mommy is soooo proud of you!!! :o)

Winter Solstice Season

Happy Winter Solstice!!!

We sort of celebrated the Winter Solstice Day yesterday. It is a Chinese culture of have some yummy "tong yuen" (glutinuous balls) with the family on the day.

Nevertheless, we had our 'tong yuen' back in in-laws' yesterday. MIL cooked some colorful plain tong yuen. I gave some to JJ but after having his first bite of 'tong yuen', he was running around trying to escape me for the second one. Oh I forgot to mention that when he was having his first bite, he gave a shiver!!! Muahaha.. I guess he really didn't like it.. LOLs..

Hubby wasn't a real fan for tong yuen at all. So he didn't have much. I love tong yuen but never the plain one in sweet dessert. All in all, we didn't have much.

Guess what? Hubby never liked tong yuen in his whole life till I introduced to him the tong yuen with fillings inside. Upon having his first bite on it, he changed his perception about tong yuen and fell head over heels with it! :o)

Today, I am making red bean paste with black sesame tong yuen (it's tong yuen with black sesame filling). This is my all time favorite tong yuen!! So I am gonna have a feast on these little lovelies.. Hehehe

Jayden had his first bite on the black sesame tong yuen just now and he loved it!! He kept running around trying to escape for the plain tong yuen, but he kept saying "more ball ball" for the black sesame tong yuen. This little baby has gotten good taste ain't he?!! :P

Table Dance

Early this morning, about an hour after Jayden woke up in the morning, he insisted me to turn on his favorite Baby Noah DVD.. As a person who does not encourage too much movie time for young toddler, I ended up giving in after his persistent attempts.

Half way through the show, Jayden started clearing half of the table for some reasons. Then, he climbed on top of the table which was highly discouraged by me again, but this time I would like to see what he has in mind. So I asked him why he wanna climb onto the table as it was pretty dangerous to do so.

Then, the music was played (I think he can memorize the whole show) and he started dancing each time the music came by (there will be music everytime a new animal is being introduced). Without a camera in hand, I quickly grab my phone and here are some low quality shots of Jayden's table dance.. :o)
