Potty Training


Chhavi has never had night time / sleep time incidents ever since she was 5 months old. She does not wet her bed when she's asleep. But as soon as she wakes up, thats the first thing she does. So she has always had good night's sleep and she has given us the same too.

She has only woken up at nights only when she was hungry / sick. Otherwise she has been a very tight sleeper. Whenever she wakes up, I take her immediately to the bathroom and she goes quietly :) I prefer to put on a diaper though, since its not always possible for us to wake up as soon as she does.

As of now, we are trying to potty train her. Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated. No problems with her pees though. She mentions just when she's just about to go. But for pooping, its kinda late by the time we take her to the bathroom. Few days past, she has been pooping on the way to her play school and she gets extremely fussy and uncomfortable in the car, since we cannot clean it immediately and she cannot stay with the dirty diaper.

Today, I gave her a glass of warm milk when she woke up. Took her to the loo when she said she felt like pooping. She sat in the loo for a while and then she pooped alright :) Lets see how it goes from tomorrow.

Rhymes - 3


Chhavi knows a lot more rhymes than I thought she knew.

10 days back or so, she suddenly goes... Mamma, mamma, Aanki doodoo pony maadi...
It took me a while to even comprehend - I know she was referring to some rhyme... but I had to scourge thru my database to understand what she actually meant... Then it suddenly hit me...

It was Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony... what next ? I myself dunno the 3rd line of the rhymes... but Chhavi says it. Since I dont know the line, I cant understand what she's saying...

The last line is - and called it macaroni... I still dunno the third line.... need to look it up.

*********************************************************************************

Few days back, Chhavi started saying 'days of the week'.

She says - Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday - announcing the end of it. LOL. No matter how many times we teach her the rest of them, she doesnt remember those ones... so cute.

*********************************************************************************

My co-sister tried to teach her 'months of the year' and she was teaching them one by one and Chhavi was repeating them. When she reached April, instead of repeating April, Chhavi says 'May'. So I am guessing they are teaching her the months also at school.

Conversations with Chhavi - 2


The other day Chhavi was being very mischievous in the car.

So I tell her... Chhavi - policeman appaitha (ill call the policeman). Vatta ve tu policeman vottu ? (Will you go with him ?)

Chhavi: O K
Me (shouting): Ok, policeman, come here ...
Chhavi (suddenly not wanting to go with him): Mamma, kitki kaadi (open the window). Haav policeman-ge hogu heLtini (Ill tell the policeman to go away)

Complete conversation - half in kannada and half in konkani...
