Terrible Two or Terrific Two?

For sometime, Mummy was happy I wasn't quite the Terrible 2 that she has read or heard about... She was pleased that I showed concern and love for my little brother... She was pleased that I was co-operative most of the times... She was pleased that I have been showing that I have learnt well from the guidance and teachings..

BUT lately...

I started beating Little Ayden...
I will beat his head...
I refused to walk in to my school...
even if mummy were to try to carry me...I refused too...
I dont want to eat... ...
I misbehaved... ...

Mummy was thinking if it could all be due to the absence of my pacifier??
As I have now gone pacifier free!! And it actually wasn't too tough to kick it!

I think I am 80% Terrific Two and 20% Terrible Two... ...

Mummy says most of the time I am 95% Terrific Two and only occasional 5% Terrible Two!

Mummy's Voice: Being a Mother of 2...

Being a mother of TWO kids by age 28 has always been one of my "objectives" in life.
However, I had wanted 1 boy, 1 girl and if I were to have number 3, any gender would just be fine. So now, with 2 boys... I guess if I were ever to try for number 3....the chances of another boy will be very high...so i better prepare another AXXXX name by then. :D
Still, it is a dream to have a girl....Leann Leann when can I have Leann?

Having read Auntie Tricia's blog on Approaching Mother's Day earlier really reminded me to blog about it too... ...

Eversince becoming a Mother, time has been greatly devoted to the children... ...lesser time for myself as an individual, lesser time for us as a couple. But having the children around is a different kind of fun and happiness too. (Of course, not forgetting the frustrations too...) ;p

Everything else has to take further steps backwards as priorities are all now on the children.
Everything else has to be planned around them...hoping to give them the best I can, working around other solutions to still be able to work and yet take care of them... ...

having TWO is really alot of difference to ONE.
Time is spent either on Asher or Ayden.
No time to even blog...and I only can save drafts with header to keep the memory there...and do it only when I can. The only "free" time I have is when both of them are asleep at the same time during their nap or middle of the night.

As we settle into this new place...as I build and establish a good routine and practice...as I train the new helper(WHO IS LIKE A LOST SOUL AT TIMES) ...hopefully things will work out well and smooth in no time.

I slept overnight without my diaper and NO accident!!!

On Friday 11th Jun night ...
Mummy decided to let me try sleeping without diapers again...this is the 2nd attempt.

1st attempt was earlier the month... it was not planned for but happened simply out of daddy's pure laziness as I was sleeping with him on the bed and he did not put on diapers for me...and I pee...in the middle of the night on the bed...

so 2nd attempt, mummy let me sleep on the mattress on the floor... ...
without high expectations...she checked a few times through the night till morning when i woke up...mummy was very very pleased to find NO ACCIDENT!!! Asher is a big boy le!!!

Nowadays I seldom wear diapers anymore, only when I go to bed at night and when i go to school. Eventhough I know how to say when I want to pee/poo and I will ask to go...but still Mummy thinks we need more practice as we are hardly outdoors..so she is worried I might not do it well with a different environment or person.


Last night (12th Saturday night...)
We had family dinner with Jodi, Jaeden, Tiffany and Trevor, my grandparents and so on...
After the dinner we went Ikea...I had great fun with my cousins...soOoooO much fun that i forgot I wasn't wearing diapers and I had a pee accident at Ikea... heheheh...see that is what happens when I am overly excited.

When we were having dinner, I still ask Gong Gong to bring me go pee... ...Still need more practice!

My recent progress

I can say out my pee/poo urge since a week ago!

Adults listen!
You can introduce potty training to your babies young... but they pick up so fast when they are ready for it... ...

When I was much younger around 18 months old, Mummy tried to potty train me but not quite successful; One, it was tough to be consistent as she wasn't my only carer and it was tough to ensure the same routine practice. Two, I was probably not as ready compared to now too...

Recently after we shifted here, ( I was about 27months old plus) we started again.
No diapers during the day, many times even bare butt...no shorts for me...
Now I am able to say out my pee & poo urge since 1 week ago.
SO that is as good as saying, I completed the whole cycle from:

Mummy reminding me to go pee/poo in the potty
to
I running to the potty on my own to pee/poo
to
I being able to tell the adults I want to pee/poo...
all in just barely 2 weeks!

I can also recognise some of our names...
