It’s been awhile.
Like literally, awhile since I pen down my thoughts. It’s already middle of
September 2019 and Alhamdulillah, I have come this far as a wife, mother of 2
active boys and a daughter. I am back to the working world after taking a break
from my last pregnancy.
9 months coming
to 10. Indeed, I am blessed with the smooth working transaction from messy
portfolio to an up to date transactions of a new entity that I am focusing on.
Not to mention, I have such a great, cool and understanding male boss who
approve all my leaves or whenever I want to take leaves. I have colleagues who
covers me whenever I am not around.
Year 2019 have
been great so far, well except for the fact that both my boys were down with
Chicken Pox during Hari Raya. We had no choice but skipped Syawal the entire
month and quarantine at home. Sadly, we have to avoid having guest for visiting
our homes, to prevent from getting it as you know, Chicken Pox is contagious.
It seems like a
blessing in disguise when Adam caught the Chicken Pox. He started to toilet
trained properly, like he shows sign that ‘Ummi,
I am ready for 100% toilet trained’. We started toilet training in April
and it was a fail moment and he seems not ready.
I was quite
caught off guard when he said he wants to pee, wants to go toilet. That’s when
I stop putting diapers during the day and even during afternoon. Thanks to his
school too, which makes him slightly more confident to talk and say out.
Fast
forward to September now, he’s off diaper, morning and night. More like I need
to get more marvel/cartoon underwear as a motivation to use the toilet whenever
he feels like the need to relief himself.
Of course, the
journey was not that smooth. There’s a few occasion that Adam had to spoilt my
shopping mood. Like when I want to buy new pair of Melissa shoe at TANGS. I was
trying out the shoes when he urged me that he need to pee. Imagine me being
super kanchiong & kalang kabut put the shoes away and tell the salesgirl to
give me a moment while we run outside the mall and find toilet. The moment we
reached toilet, I was breathless. Macam lari marathon. Toilet train anak punya
pasal.
That was incident No.1
Incident No. 2
onwards was when I wanted to get myself a new tote bag for work. We were at
Kate Spade & Coach at Jewel Changi Airport. I was happily browsing through
the bags and try them out when then again, he wanted to visit the toilet. So,
yeah, he always spoilt my shopping mood, prolly more like ‘Ummi, don’t spend on expensive things please’.
Apparently
nowadays, I will still make the effort to visit the toilet every hour. It gets
better as days goes by and improve tremendously.
Diaper-less
before end 2019 – 100% success – CHECKED!
Next – milk
bottle-less. This might be the next challenging one cause Adam is a hardcore
milk boy. He LOVES milk and wants 2 rounds of milk before bedtime. He needs
that sucking sensation in milk bottle to doze him to sleep and I don’t know how
to make him off the milk bottle.
I had mummies who
approached me and ask me to try give him in a cup before bedtime. Buy an
interesting cup with that swirl straw before bedtime. I will find that kind of
cup and will kick start next month, with the hope it works.
Pray for me, for
Adam next milestone.
Until then, I
will end today’s entry here. To many more entries to come.
