My Dollie Baby

Subject: Poo Training
Racia is 4 years 3 months, 4 weeks and 1 day old today.

For the longest time, we have not been successful in potty training racia to poo. She has long since been trained to go off diapers and has no problem peeing in the toilet. However when it comes to pooing, she just refused and insist on pooing in the diaper.

My mission this maternity leave was to successfully train Racia to poo in the toilet. The past week, i have been prepping her that once her pull ups runs out, we will need to poo in the toilet!

Finally today, there were no more pull up pants. I took her to the toilet and we sat there for 10 mins and nothing came out.

I read up online and decided to use a reward system as an incentive to encourage her to poo in the toilet. I drew up a chart and she earns a sticker with every successful poo in the toilet. After 5 stickers, she gets to pick out a toy (any toy) she wants and i will buy it for her.

At the 2nd try this evening, daddy sat in the toilet with her for close to 20mins, i did everything that all the online articles suggested, i gave her warm water, daddy read to her and distracted her so that she is not too tensed. In the end, she successful pooed in the toilet.. This is really a milestone achieved.

Let's hope we will be successful tomorrow again!

Its Racia's 4th birthday today and we celebrated with her in school.

It was simple 15 minutes celebration during her snack break. I prepared a cake and some simple party bags for the children.

The children enjoy the cake and treat and I can tell that Racia enjoyed herself tremendously too!
She kept talking about her celebration when we were home in the afternoon.

Coming up soon: Part 2 of her birthday celebration - Marina Barrage for a simple picnic!

Its Racia's 4th birthday today!!

We got her cake to celebrate in school. I absolutely love the new range of Princess cakes from Bengawan Solo. We ordered one of the cakes from the alphabet/letter range. We were lucky that the "R" cake features Aurora, which is Racia's favourite princess.

Cost $38plus for 1 kg - Chocolate with fresh cream.

Here's a picture of the beautiful cake. Look out for more pictures of her party and celebration in school.
