worrywart

im 偷偷 a worrywart.
ok, maybe its not really a secret.
there are like a trillion things in the world that can make me go crazy with worry.
alot of things unhinged me and make me feel very very unsettled.
so out of the 1,840,582 and counting things that worry me, 2 things fell into place on their own recently.
and believe me, im so glad of it.

1) yz is officially daytime toilet-trained!
this happened about 1 mth back when he started to tell us that he needs to pee.
and pee he did! succesfully in a cup (now in a toilet bowl). :)
and he's able to poo poo in his potty now too.

as yz's verbal skills developed slightly earlier than his peers, i was always confident that he will be toilet-trained easily too.
i forgot that apart from the ability to say so his urges, the willingness to do so is an integral part of toilet training too. :(
and hence, even though yz can communicate perfectly to us when he wants to pee/poo, he refuse to do so with his diapers off.
and for awhile, i let him go diaperless thinking he will eventually pee/poo out of no choice.
BUT the boy chose to hold back his pee!! and cried hysterically when the urge to pee/poo was so bad that he has no choice but to do so on the floor.
it was a stressful period for both me and him.
that was half a year back and hubbi made one of the most sensible suggestions in his life.
he told me to try doing so half a year later when yz is 3 yo.
i was reluctant for i thought 3yo is a tad old to start toilet-training.
but i follow suit the suggestion as i really didnt want yz to associate toilet-training to stress.

and as life is, 1 mth before he turns 36m, yz decided to be toilet-trained.
he requested to be off diapers and in underwear!
then he told me he needs to pee and managed to do when i brought him to the toilet! :)
and the poo poo part follow smoothly with the usage of his potty.
im so happy that its such a smooth process after all.
for now, im just glad he's toilet-trained in the daytime. will slowly do so for the night time.
maybe another half-year bah! :P
worrywart i am but lazy bones i am too!

2) yr's drooling is almost over!
as yz didnt have such a problem when he was young, i was really at a loss when yr started drooling massively since young!!
all those bibs i got for yz which were relatively unused suddenly come into good use for yr!
and he needs more than what i have! *gasp*
i was quite upset over his drooling as apart from the need to change his bibs/clothings ever so often (as they get drenched pretty fast!), there is also the risk of rashes on his chin.
but as yr crossed the 9m mark, the drooling suddenly gets lesser and lesser.
and now, a few hours can passed before he drools that little bit.
ahhh... im so glad. :)

yah as you can guess by now.
out of the 1,840,582 and counting things that i worry about, more than 80% are about my kiddos. @_@
