OOOH! And before I forget, we've finally weaned him off the pacifier!
It wasn't as hard as we thought it'd be, EG just said "Oh, we can't find it!"
He actually had a couple of days like this in SG last trip, but we hadn't tried it since coming home.
But yay! Hooray. It's done. My son won't be a social outcast.
That said, I'm grateful for the many years of sleep-FILLED nights I got because of this gem. Even though all the books and people said it'd be hard to wean him off later. HAH. Phooey to you, know-it-alls!
RIP, Aidan's paci.
*Warning* DON'T READ THIS AND EAT AT THE SAME TIME.
The mundane routine of our day can be often broken by a random gesture. POO ALERT!
At any given time, in any part of the world, there are 2 significant acts of purging a human body makes.
#1 A wee
#2 A poo
Ah, but once you enter the surreal world of baby love, you will acquaint yourself (and rather quickly I might add!) with a third form of expulsion.
#3 A poo EXPLOSION. When everything just DRIPS OUT.
This last one occurs especially after servings of fruit and vegies, like yummy tomatoes and peas and oranges...you get the idea. It's the perfect storm of bladder release meeting regular doses of roughage.
And for the last 2.5 years I've been dealing with said #3s off and on, but with Aidan being toilet-trained I hope I'm nearing the end of the mess that is a dirty diaper. Like, just DO IT IN THE TOILET ALREADY! I mean, you know it's coming, just tell me, and you get a chocolate reward (same colour what!) after! How hard a concept is it to master?
Case in point. Aidan paused in the middle of playing with his Lego and said, "Mama? Don't check me ok?"
"Sorry?"
"Don't check me ok?"
"Er ok..."
(Lightbulb clicks in my head)
"Did you just poo-poo?" I go check his bum. No poo.
(5 minutes later)
(A look on his face that I can only describe as um... strained.)
"MAMA! DON'T CHECK ME OK?!!!"
(This scenario carried on the next morning when he started thrashing about in his sleep shouting "Don't check me! Don't check me!!!") Methinks he has a morbid fear of nappy changes, no?
Anyhoos...here's to hoping he adapts soon. Wees aren't a problem (in fact he forces himself to pee to get chocolate rewards!) it's the #2s and #3s we're working on.
Plus, I'm running out of latex gloves.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH BOH !!!
Love and blessings from your favourite (only) nephew.
I've been taking heaps of pics of Aidan with our new camera, but I've yet to put them up. I will soon, I promise. As soon as I find my card-reader!
On another note, toilet training is well underway, and bubba's received numerous stars over the last week, and chocolate rewards, for 'going' in the toilet. Weeheee! Of course we've had a couple accidents along the way, but so far, none on the couch!
Anyhooos, just a short update, will post pics soon!
