its over!!!

critical day was over!!!! we had survived 2 days without tutu and no mention and asking for it too. well done, yu xi. she has decided to self wean at 2 years and 7 month old like yu ze.

 

yu xi is better in a way cos she never ask about it at all since she throw it away. yu ze was still asking it for that day that he threw away. he is ok after we explain that he threw it away. he will still go on a repeat mode of asking once a while throughout that day and only stop the next day.

 

i'm so happy that self wean can be so easy and no sweat.

today is critical

today is the critical day. self wean tutu is a happen or not depends on today's response and reaction. there is not a single request of it since morning. however, she did peep into the dustbin seems to be looking for her tutu when she throw rubbish in it. she didn't see it and just walked off.

 

before nap time, she was crying for her sheep. uh oh, is she asking for her tutu (the design on it is a sheep).

 

me: mei mei, what sheep you want? 

yu xi (still crying): mommy, papa take my sheep.

me (still blur): papa, take your sheep?

yu xi: yes, papa take my sheep. (then she walk into our room and point) see papa, take my sheep (her pillow with sheep design on it).

 

then i realise what she is asking about.

me: oh, ok. (facing darling) papa, why you take her sheep?

darling: ok ok, give you. (take the pillow back to her room for her and she went to nap)

 

looking at each other, we just smiled. phew!!! she is not asking for her tutu.

 

we send warning to fil and sil before they came over too. not to mention anything about her tutu. they day ended in peace with no request at all. let's hope this will stay for a few more days to confirm the self wean is a success.

tu tu spoilt

i accidentally make a super big hole on yu xi's tutu. it was dirty so i wash for her. i try to make the hole a bit bigger so that she will eventually throw it away. however, i was a bit too hard and tore too much.

i return the tutu to her after washing. she bite for a while, took it out and see. then she realise the hole is so big.

yu xi: tu tu spoilt.

me: throw in dustbin

yu xi: no (continue to bite)

took it out again and looked at her tutu.

yu xi: throw in mommy's room

me: no, cannot. mommy's room has no dustbin

yu xi: throw in the fan

me: no, cannot its dirty. fan is not dustbin

she bite on it again and walk out. then she came back without the tutu. i found the tutu in yu ze's room dustbin. all went well till around 7pm, she suddenly appear with the tutu again. she picks up from the dustbin, wash and starts biting on it again.

7pm - tutu pick up, wash and bite again

7:10pm - tutu in kitchen's dustbin. she walked to kitchen quietly, threw tutu in the dustbin, gave it a last look and walked off.

9pm - tutu is being rescued from kitchen's dustbin to hide inside mommy's drawer. in anticipation for yu xi asking for it tomorrow.

she went to bed at 8:30pm without it and didn't ask for it too. 

good job, baby. if you really decides to wean off tutu from today, both you and gor gor did a self wean at 2 years 7 months old. will you then work towards diaper free after this and be diaper free in the day and nap at 3 years old like gor gor?

rabbit again

mommy & yu ze

yu ze drags me into his room again to draw a rabbit. he draws the purple one and says it's mommy. blue (mommy draw) one is yu ze, like thomas is also blue. 

drawing

bedtime activity for today is drawing. yu ze wants to draw rabbit so i got him to follow me stroke by stroke in the drawing.

say cheese with his rabbits

yu ze draws the purple rabbits by copying the pink one. he says
1. this is a family.
2. pink is mommy, blue is papa, purple are yu ze and mei mei.
3. papa and mommy wear specs so must draw specs for the pink and blue rabbits.

 

he drew the 2 purple rabbits while i drew the pink and blue.

 

yu ze's house

then he proceed to draw a house himself. he ran out of the room to take papa's key to show papa. he says must draw the key so we can open the door and go home. he doesn't know how to draw the key and get papa to help.

henna

henna

they have deepavali celebration in schoool. yu ze came back with henna on his hand.

 

me: yu ze, what was that?

yu ze: flower. i don't like this. this is smelly, yu ze don't like. chocolate (the paint) is for eating not drawing.

 

i like how school plans such activity for the kids to expose them to different types of religion and festive celebrations we have in singapore.

yu xi's favourite conversation

whenever we are back home late and pass yu xi's bedtime, the following conversation (similar content) will sure happen.

 

yu xi: mommy, how we go home?

me: we are going home now.

yu xi: how? how we go home?

me: we going home now.

yu xi: i want to go home, take tutu, ah low (bolster) and more ah low (2nd bolster) and barney and bj

me: ok. going home now.

 

this same conversation will get repeated depending on how far we are away from home. 'faint'
