Updates of Trenyce's Progress

Checklists:

1. Potty training: Accomplished!
Period of Training: 5 weeksIt took a while more than my original target (was to complete within 2 weeks) to potty train her as in-between the training, she fell sick and then the weather was turning cold so it was not a good period to train her. Hence, the training went on-and-off for the first 3 weeks and finally, she completed her training roughly about 2 weeks after her 2nd birthday. (Horray! Finally some $aving$ on my diaper co$t$!) However, she still cant identify the difference between urinating and passing motion. She will say "umh umh" for both.

2. Sleeping without Pacifier: Accomplished!
Period of Training: 5 days
I was on leave during the week-long holi due to Deevapali and Hari Raya to take care of Trenyce as PILs were away for their China holi. I took this opportunity to help Trenyce gets rid of her Pacifier habit. There is pros and cons of getting rid this habit of hers. You would probably be wondering why. Well, let me xplain. When she has the pacifier in her mouth, she will just go to sleep quietly, no sound, just munching her pacifier and falls asleep on her own. But when she doesnt have any in her mouth, she talks alot before she falls asleep and I am "forced" (in a way, otherwise she wont sleep lah) to sleep together with her and I meant together on her bed! The most comical part is she sings in her sleep. We usually play a cd for her when she naps in the afternoon, MIL spotted her singing "Jingle Bell" in her sleep when the cd is at the "Jingle Bell" song :p

3. Eating on her own: On-going
Period of Training: On-going
The moment Trenyce was able to sit on her own, we allowed her to join us on the dinning table. We will give her a bowl and a spoon with some food (rice or noodles, vege, egg or whichever is avavilable) usually small chewable chunks so that she wont get choked accidentally. Normally, more than 70% of the food will be "shared" with her high chair and the floor. Recently, I noticed that she is able to eat on her own without dropping more than 50% of her food on the floor. She is also able to eat drumstick by herself. (Just a note: This is merely causal eating not the "formal" eating. We still feed her for lunch and dinner.)

4. Health: On-going
Period of Training: None
As of today, Trenyce has fallen sick 3 times for this year.
Fever: 2 times
Cough: 4 times
Flu: 3 times
