Ryan’s First Story Book
@ 6 years 1 day
I was blog hopping the other and read about Malaika’s ‘story book‘. I thought that was really cute.
Last week while Ryan was doing his drawing, I asked if he is interested to write a story book. He was excited and enthusiastic about the whole idea.
Title: My Big Building
(Small details: Car was drawn before the building and the little man inside the building)
(The car is now drawn after the building. I like it he paid attention to small details)
(The building has a bomb and the helicopter was there for rescue work. Little man is safe now. )
(Kaboom!!)
I asked him later where did he get the inspiration to his story. Bomb in building? No.. We never exposed him to violent medias. Well, he explained he was writing a story about building implosion. That I’m not surprised because Ryan is always fascinated with architectural of a building, how they were built, how people demolish old building for new one etc…
His story still need improvement here and there but is great effort coming from a 6 year old’s work. He proudly declare his ‘My Big Building’ story book is the latest addition to his book shelf.

Record Breaking
Lil B @ 1 year 1 month 3 weeks
Tonight my lil B set a new record. From 9pm to 10pm, he demanded I bring him to the toilet to pee not once, not twice, not three, four but TEN times!!!!
At one point I got so tired, my back was aching from the up down commotion, I just asked him to pee into his diaper but the little cheeky monster insists to pee into the toilet bowl. I tried ignoring his pleas but he was too loud to be ignored for I was afraid he will wake his brother up. Despite knowing his motive to delay his sleep time I had to gwai gwai fulfil his wishes.
It is not the first time lil B ‘jeh liu dun’ (using toilet break) as excuse to sleep late. I normally give in as I see that as a good sign he’s almost ready to be 100% diaperless (he’s diaperless during the day since a week or so ago) but tonight is a real record breaker. It was one holy smolly T I R I N G chore. *wipe sweats*

Potty Training
Lil B @ 1 year 8 months 3 weeks 3 days
This afternoon, lil B came to me uttering “Poo Poo, Poo Poo”. I asked him if he wants to poo, he nodded and said yes.
I quickly led him to the washroom, grabbed the booster seat and sat him on the WC.
I asked him to push and he did as told. Within minutes, voila!! The whole ‘business’ is completed. Lol. Like a pro. Yay!! Good job Darren.
Darren was introduced to the potty weeks ago. Every morning I make an effort for him to sit down on his potty to pee before his bath. He was reluctant at first but after numerous tries, he could relieve himself on the potty effortlessly now. I also made Ryan to sit on the booster seat a few times to allow Darren to see and get familiarise with the seat. I’m proud to say, if the timing is right, lil B could now relieve himself easily either using the booster seat or the potty interchangeably. I guess all that seemingly trivial efforts are slowly paying off.
Today is the second time Darren signaled to us he needs to poo. The first time it happened, I was not at home. Bummer. Anyways, my helper told me Darren was squatting at a corner with that ‘funny’ face and when she asked if he wanted to poo, he replied yes.
When she related that back to me, I brushed it off as a fluke shot. Come to my realisation, it’s about the same time Ryan started his potty training too.
So, well, well, I guess it’s time to embark on a more serious mode into this little mission of mine. No more procrastination.

Just a moment ago, I told the boys I had to pee so they could look out for each other in the play room. When lil B heard that, he ran to me and said ‘Didi’. Logically I asked if he wants to pee, he replied ‘yes’. Okay, off we went to the toilet and again he peed using the booster seat.
.
Lol. No.. That’s not the ‘pushing’ face. I asked him to smile thus the expression.

He kept saying ‘pee pee pee.. ‘ in delight when he saw his own achievement.

Finally.. he calls me ‘Mommy’
Lil B @ 1 year 8 months 3 weeks 3 days
My dear lil B has been calling me Mi Mi for the longest time. Today, he finally decides to put an end to it and has been calling me Mommy since.
