My third toilet training

Toilet Training 101

 i've been pending this for some time..waiting for the right time..(more like waiting for me to be ready mentally and time-wise..heh)to toilet train my third child.
so from my limited experience for 2 kids, here's the checklist of the child being ready: 
- able to indicate she want to urinate or poo (heck, she can talk like 5 words sentences already) 
- enough common sense to know that PU (pass urine) supposed to be in the toilet - can understand simple instruction and steps (step up, PU, step down, wash hands) 
- able to walk to the toilet herself (sheesh..who am i kiddin)
okay..so the largest hurdle is yourself.. as the most important thing is persistence and your time to to the training!
my prev babysitter used to say
'boleh bah..tiga hari saja"
huhu she's the one who pushed me to toilet train my first daughter.. 2years and 8/12 not toilet trained yet
 so with increasing usage of pampers..mind you, almost 1 pack of 70 finished last week for both of em, for her n baby, i felt it was high time for me to do it..

well, so moms, it really is up to YOU..no ifs and buts about it..your child won't like be miraculously one day be off pampers without your help. so i planned..and actually took extra leave of two days during a prolong weekend holiday just to take this thing off the shelf.
Day 1 
9am 1st PU (pass urine) in toilet..yaayy 
10 am..2nd PU..few drops// 11 am.3rd PU well done i thought 
12 pm- she slept..so had to put on that nappy 1.20 pm woke up 2pm after off nappy, tantrum..dun want to wear pants after going to the toilet..nak pamperssssssss! felt like crap..no support from maid also..who basically waiting for chance to put on nappy back also husband like OIC..or PBB for the matter..watch onli..well who would want to be part of a child's tantrum rite?
Day 2 
10 am PU in toilet 
12 pm slept..put on nappy 
2pm woke up..refused to BO in toilet..BO in nappy changed nappy..then no pampers 
3 pm said want to PU..hurried her to toilet..but stained her pants with urine a bit..well. at least not on the foor, no cleaning up hihi 
4.30 pm 1st success!! said want to PU..off pants, went on toilet, and wallah..:)
Day 3 
no nappy 10.09am..surprise! she told me she wanted to PU calmly and off pants and calmly PU on the potty! subsequently PU in toilet with no accidents alhamdulillah :)
alhamdulillah..knew my sweetiepie could do it..it just takes a bit of push and lotsa praises like you're a big girl now, just like kakak n dibah iman big girl, clever girl, pandai shishi in toilet dah see..kakak n dibah also not wearing pampers like iman! so, all the best and goodbye nappies! (at least during the day for now)

ok now back to thesis writing:)
