I love this afternoon slot when I get at least 2 hours to do my own stuff. I just completed some chores and thought I should blog a little before going on to have some personal reading time etc :)
Thankfully, after testing the system for a few days, Candra's fighting less for naps and bedtime already.. Phew... those few days of crazy tantrums from her really drove me crazy.
Actually, I have been feeling rather snappy since yesterday... and of course, during such times, Candra's whines will really get to me a lot more.
We have been trying to get some potty training done for quite a while.. sometimes, this little girl makes us feel that she's just being resistant to change and of course, she often refuses to be disrupted during her favourite meal and video times. I must admit that I lost my patience at many points in time, frustrated that she's just not getting it....thankfully. yesterday, she asked to go to the toilet to pass urine for the first time and today, a second time. :) We thought she would do better for 'big business' first but to the contrary, she miraculously picked up the skill of going to the washroom to urinate must faster :) When she did it for the first time, I felt that God was reminding me to be patient with my child. He reminded me that no matter how tough training may be, I must trust that my child will learn and because of that, I ought to be patient.
Well, this little girl's not doing it perfectly yet.. but I can tell she is learning and now seriously trying to cooperate with us. No more diapers for her at home now, so she's really got to cooperate if not mummy will have lots of cleaning to do.
She's always super excited when we get all excited about her doing her big and small businesses in the toilet bowl :)
I am so happy we have reached this next milestone for our girl.. :) Finally.. heehee
