Happy 2 years old...

updated by mommy..This is a backdated post.

We celebrated Isabel's 2 year old birthday in Summit Hotel on the Sunday this year. We booked a hi-tea for about 25 pax - all are family members from hub and my side. Coincidently it was the school holiday week, my side of family members managed to come down from Ipoh and Singapore to celebrate Isabel's birthday.

It was sort of a last minute decision. I was busy in office for the whole month and have no time to plan for it. Everyone was busy, so hub didn't want to do it at home (as usual). We just want to enjoy the party, not busy preparing, cooking and serving, which I agree. So I was searching hi and low on where to have it. Finally we decided on Summit Hotel for 2 main reasons - reasonable price and nearest to our home.

I was worried the food was not good but it turned out ok. Though the spread was not a lot but it is sufficient. They even helped me to decorate the place with balloons. The best part is, there were not many customers on that day and we had the whole place to ourselves. It "looked" like we booked the whole cafe for Isabel's birthday..hahaha...

Anyway, everyone had a good time catching up with each other. Isabel is definitely having a good time running around until hub was too tired and put her in the stroller and push her around in the cafe.....

Honestly, it was mainly for the adult to get together since Isabel is too young to understand what is a birthday party. To her, as long she can go "kai kai" and run around, she is a happy angel.

Isabel, mommy promised you that when you are bigger and has more friends, we will sure do a REAL princess party for you, ok? As of now, you are surrounded by people who loves you and I think this is a good celebration too.

Just arrived..the birthday dress was sewn by my mil...

Ready for potty training?

@ 2 years and 6 days old.

Yes..I think I am ready. All the while mommy didn't really bother to potty train me because she is waiting for my sign of readiness. But she did show me the blue potty that kor kor was using and I have been "playing pretend shi shi and ng ng" on it for some time. Mommy thought she will only start training me after kakak leaves in April.

This morning when I was walking down the stairs (just woke up), just when I was reaching the final steps, I paused and feel the urgency to "push". Mommy spotted this moment and asked me whether I want to ng ng and asked me to wait. Immediately she took out the potty and removed my pants and diaper (luckily I have not pooed yet), she put me sat on the potty. It was funny and after a while, I finally pooed in the potty. Yeah..this marked my FIRST time pooed in the potty..yes..mommy was too lazy to let me poo in the potty since young. I know many young babies were trained to poo in the potty even before reaching 6 months old..

When I heard the sound "pop", I was scared and stood up and looked into the potty. I saw a big brown thing inside the potty and get scared. I didn't want to sit on it anymore and requested to wash my buttock instead. Anyway, it was a good start. Mommy then washed my buttock, then brought me upstairs to change.

When we reached the room, while mommy was taking out a new disposable diaper, I stood in front of the toilet door and kept telling mommy, "ng ng..ng ng..ng ng.." but mommy ignored me. Mommy thought I wanted to go in and played water. She told me I have just ng ng. And suddenly I cannot hold anymore, I PEEed on the floor mat. Only then mommy knew my "ng ng" actually referring to "shi shi". I get confused.

Mommy felt so sorry to ignore my request but she was proud of me. She knew at least I know when to tell I want to shi shi. She knew from that moment, I am ready for potty trained. She could have started today but since everyone is busy with work before kakak leaving, she is putting this on hold.

In the afternoon, I told mommy I wanted to ng ng also. She ignored me again but I kept making noise in front of the toilet door. SHe gave me the potty but I refused to sit. I was holding a cup and she thought I wanted to play water. Anyway, I was making too much noise and she put me in and let me sat on the adult WC, WITH my diaper on, just to satisfy me. But later, she really heard sound of shi shi coming out. I peed in the diaper. Another round of sorry since she didn't trust me again.

In the evening, before taking shower, mommy wanted to cut my hair. Again, I told her I wanted to ng ng and this time, she understood my request. She put me on the adult WC and I did shi shi in the adult WC. Mommy is definitely proud of me.

Of course, I still have many incidents that I peed in the diaper without telling mommy. But I think I am ready for potty training provided the adult has the time to do it. I think it is fun to pee in the toilet because I get to wash hand and play water inside the toilet.

Kidzania

Last Saturday, daddy and mommy brought us to a place which is very fun to play. There were many children around and the children can run around without worrying about cars.



I was sitting in the stroller earlier and was pushed around (luckily daddy brought along stroller). I was facinated by the surrounding and there were so many things to look around.

Someone even passed me some money after scanning my "Ben10" watch..yes..I told mommy, "nice nice..Ben10"..

Mommy said it is money..to me..there are just papers..

After sitting for sometime, I get too bored and requested to be come down..so, I get to walk walk...I then saw kor kor inside a house and I kept calling "kor kor..kor kor..Darren.." But mommy asked me don't disturb kor kor because kor kor is building houses. I watched from outside..


I enjoyed walking around and climbing on those dividers. I like to lean on the railing too. I even want to participate and go in to those places but mommy said I am too young. They don't accept us..I cannot make money yet..:(

So, I "walk walk stand stand", has nothing to do..so I eat fries lor..daddy bought me fries and doughnuts...

Later, I get too bored and mommy was too tired chasing after me, she brought me to Urbano's school. I love it there...


We spent about 15 mins in the school, then proceed to the Urbano's house.


I love playing at tha ball pool...


Later, I played at the kitchen..



I get so tired after all the playing and fell asleep in the stroller while kor kor went to be a fire fighter. I was afraid of the fire engine sound and close my eyes and hug mommy's tight.

When I woke up, it was time to go home. I had a great day at Kidzania today though I cannot make or earn money..but it was still fun..
