Baby’s First Day Of Potty Training

You will be amazed to know that I spend around RM160 just on disposable diapers for Baby every month. I have been procrastinating potty training her as I have been terribly busy with my online store. Alycia and Sherilyn were potty trained when they were 2 years old. I know Baby is highly trainable too but I am just too lazy to get out from my comfort zone and break my back while potty training her. But now, all of a sudden, I feel the big pinch on our wallets. So today, I decided that I MUST potty train Baby. Before I took the diaper off her butt, I talked to her …. face to face, seriously and gently. I told her that she has to stop wearing diapers. I told her that she has to help daddy and mummy save money. I told her that the money we save can be used to buy…. ICE CREAM for her haha! Since she loves going to school and absolutely yearns learning ballet, I have been telling her that if she wants to go to school and learn ballet, she cannot wear diapers anymore. She seems matured enough to understand everything and I managed to knock sense into her head. So far she has been A-ok wearing a panty…. though she would go to the potty every 5 minutes initially… and I have been breaking my back washing potty. The potty is placed in the living room for her convenience to ease herself anytime.

I shall see how the 2nd day of potty training goes tomorrow. Wish us luck!!

  1. Get the maid to wash the potty instead of you doing it yourself.

    I know it can be quite mah fan..like my JL, likes to use the adult WC, there’s once she wanted to climb up herself and almost fell in it, now every time i make sure I follow and carry her up and down the wc.

  2. hey there,

  3. Good luck… I started potty training my daughter (about the same age as Baby C) when she was 1.5. Really saved a lot since then. Now she still uses diaper at night as I was lazy to get up in the middle of the night. But we did save a lot since she stopped using diapers!

  4. good for you… i’m delaying william coz his speech is slower than his peers and my prev maid was a useless bum, and now i’m letting the new maid settle down first before i put him off diapers.. lotsa excuses.. but i seriously dread all the “accidents” lar… haha. i think will be tough for me coz he loves his diapers, unlike his sister last time
