POTTY TALK

No Mommy blogs go without potty talk and it's my time now..If you have been reading my blog for sometime now ,you would know about my failures in training Jenna to use the potty but finally i have succedeed.YAY!!!

Last year after several failed attempts i lost hope and i had this vision that Jenna would be wearing diapers for a very long time and this year i decided that i have to train her .Jenna was ready from the time she was 18 months but will not sit in the potty,i would say she was just stubborn .On Feb 2 nd i started with utmost confidence that i will definitely or should i rather say together we will succeed in this mission.The advantage i had was Jenna never pees on the floor,she wants the diaper to do her business.So well i just hid all the diapers and said we have no more diapers . When it was time to go, she begged ,pleaded and cried with me for the diaper and when i was about to give up,i just thought Ok !let me try one last time and made her sit on the potty and she peed.I know she could not hold in anymore..Thank you Orange Juice and Water!!!I gave her stickers and m&m's for her success and she finally got it.In the last five days,she had had only 1 accident and thats because i was late to take her in.Initially she didnt want to poop in the potty,only pee pee and from day 3 she did both.I'm amazed at how fast she got trained ,i'm so proud of her and she says she is Big Girl.Night time she is still wearing pull-up and i think it will take some more time to master that.Right now,day time she is completely trained and i'm so relieved : )

HALLOWEEN

This Halloween we dressed Jenna as a witch, an adorable one.. Our first choice was a pirate but we didnt get one ... But she was a pretty witch,i bet u would agree : )

We trick or treated in the streets of Old Town Pasadena and in our neighbourhood.Jenna had fun ,she wished everyone Happy Halloween...sounded more like happy hallolee... haha!

She waited patiently to get home to have her candies and i didnt give her much one or two... the rest is mine : )

2 YEAR OLD WELL CHECK- UP

Today was Jenna 's 2 year old well check,and as usual when we entered the parking lot Jenna started crying that she wanted to go home and the crying carried on for the next one hour .

Jenna now weighs 24.7 pounds and is 34 1/2 inches in height.She does not seem to be gaining much weight and that worries me.She has become such a picky eater,she loves all the junk food and i'm to blame for that since i'm not a healthy eater either.I try my best to give her vegetables and fruits but she has become very persistent,if she does not like it she will not eat it.

Her vocabulary has increased suddenly and she puts two or three word together.She says her name is Sana instead of Jenna(we are still working on the J). She say Sana wants to go out,Sana wants milk,Sana sleepy... i love when she talks like this.

We have even experienced the toddler tantrums in public and it makes me go crazy,but i just keep reminding myself that this is just a phase.

She can sing the entire alphabet song and can count till ten.She is an amazing dancer ( I'm not bragging ) I'm sure u will accept if u see her dancing : )

And as i told in my last post we are still working on the potty training and soon we will succeed : )

MIXED FEELINGS

We are just back from my mom's native place .It's a beautiful place and we stayed there for 10 days. I used to visit this place when i was young during the school summer hols and it been nearly four years since i went here.

Its a small village near the sea shore and what made this trip even memorable was Jenna joining us this time.It was Jenna who enjoyed thoroughly ,since the place is near the seashore she got to play with sand, and in the farm too.

She loved feeding the goat and chasing the hen and i sat back and enjoyed watching her. I would say these 10 days was very relaxing for me since i had no work ,just some good food and fun times with the cousins there.

I have even gained few pounds and thats a good thing here in my village..Fat is healthy and beautiful. I had to reassure my concerned relatives that i was not sick and suffering from any disease.

Another 4 weeks to go and i will be heading back to the U.S.Hubs will be joining us in 10 days for his 2 week vacation.I'm waiting eagerly to see how Jenna would react to watch Daddy after nearly 2 months...

The next few days are going to be very busy as i have started planning for Jenna's 2 nd birthday party.Can't believe my lil girl is 2 already?Sometimes i feel she is still a baby and sometimes i can see the terrible two's striking??
