Introduction to Toilet Training

One day, while I was preparing to go to work, Ashraff looked at me up and down. Like macam baru first time dia tengok Ibu dia bersiap pergi kerja.

And out of the blue, he asked "Ibu pakai pampers tak?"

I'm like ??? All these while did Ashraff thought all of us actually wear diapers just like him?? My God!

But anyway, Ibu calmly replied "No, Ibu tak wear pampers. Ashraff pun nanti tak payah wear pampers." (Not a good answer I know, but I'm rushing to work..so, that's the best I can answer).

Now that he has somesort of opened the toilet training subject, I guess might as well I introduce him to some of the toilet training tools we have like potty chair and potty toilet seat.

So yesterday, I took the initial step of introducing him to water closet and how we actually put the potty toilet seat on top of the thing fo him to do his business. Ashraff was nodding all the way, followed by an occassional "a-ah".

Later, I sat beside him and said to him "You are now a big boy Ashraff. So big boy tak payah pakai pampers. Ibu tak pakai pampers, Ayah tak pakai pampers, Tok Mak and Tok Abah tak pakai pampers. Even cat pun tak pakai pampers."

And to my antonishment, he replied "Ashraff kena pakai pampers kan? Ashraff kecik lagi..."
And he walked out of the room leaving me ???

I think I have to come out with different strategy the next time around...*LOL*

This kid never fails to amaze me with his answer (and questions).

masa haariz first time dengan jaya nye wee-wee kat toilet, we all tepuk tangan ramai2.. muka dia bangga gila. then lepas tu, papa dia plak masuk toilet..kitorang tepuk tangan jugak.. saje nak tunjuk kat dia..sape yg boleh wee-wee kat toilet tu terer laaah..ehehhe. since that, dia motivated nak wee-wee kat toilet. sampai mama dia yg tak larat kejap2 kena teman kan dia.

this is our "issue" at home now. how to toilet train, i seriously donno how. even stopping amir's milk was easier. by 18 mths dah tak nak susu. we'er aiming to make him diaper-free (at least during the day) before baby#3 comes. pengsan the thought of 3 packs of diapers every 2 weeks...

Haariz's mom : Ha'ahlah kan? Nak bagi encouragement sket...So kira haariz dah almost diape-freelah kan? Bestnye! save a lot b4 baby comes.

Eiseai: Babe, amir is younger than ashraff. Ashraff is almost 3, babe. And Ibu is still clueless. At least amir dah stop minum susu. Ashraff still like satu minggu satu tin besar. Senget sebelah jugak nak beli..hehe..Nasib baik Aliff minum susu free. But u mmg kena drastic gitu, sebab nanti lagi banyak tanggungan when baby#3 comes..

i potty train hureen sekali sekala je. dia suka bila diaperless but i have one major prob i.e. her sister hannan. bila hureen terbabas, she will tell and i leh bawak pi toilet. masalah besar is, hannan sibuk nak go to the mess. so susah nak handle 2 kids. sorang dah masuk toilet pastu kena berkejar bersihkan lantai before hannan datang. unless ada 2 person then ok la. sorang jaga si kakak, sorang jaga si adik.

ckp bab susu, now i beli 10 boxes of 700g enfagrow A+ for both kids. bab kopak toksah ckp la but they enjoy minum susu sama2. yelah, beza umur 1.6 tahun je. nasib baik la coming baby ni susu cap gantung.

on diaper, i'm planning to buy more washable diaper yg ada kat babyloft.com tu. save bnyk. tapi kena rajin basuh la.

anyway, i've replied your email. dapat tak.

Hudhud: Aik? Sudah start toilet train ke? I thot u wanna wait till your confinement to train. Lahai..nampaknya tertinggal bas lah Ashraff ni..
But in your case, susah jugak yek since u don't have a helper.

Selagi boleh cap gantung, teruskan. Mmg save a lot esp di kala ekonomi meleset..hihi..

Oh, that washable diaper / cloth diaper. I've heard bout it too. Ada one malay lady is selling it. Nanti i try carik the contact, just in case you wanna buy somewhere else rather than babyloft.

I got your long email:) Thanks tapi tak sempat nak balas lagi...
