Milk, Straw, Pull-Ups and More
It has been 2 weeks since I asked Ryan to buy pull-ups for Frankie. Unfortunately, I haven’t have the time to train him. Yes, I have been so terribly busy the past weeks. As you remember I posted here that we have been wasting so much of his diaper because when he is getting ready to pee, he takes it off and pees on the floor. At least with the Pampers pull-ups after he takes it off we can always put it back on without having to worry with the sticky thing on the side. He has been good in telling us when he getting ready to go but the problem is when we get to the bathroom he was no longer able to hold it. I think we are making so much progress here for just over 2 years old and being a boy.
Another thing that makes me happy is he is not using the sippy cup anymore to drink his milk. Well, it wasn’t really meant to happen but one of his sippy cup leaked and we couldn’t find the other one. He got up early in the morning and gave him a glass of milk. He started crying and won’t take it. I thought of using a straw to see if he will drink it that way and to my surprise he did. He has been drinking his milk with the use of the straw 3 times a day ever since.
On the other hand, he has been getting better with his language. I understand how hard could it be for him since he listens to Bisaya 90% of the time and 10% english only when his Dada is home. I talked to him in English occasionally and he is catching up little words little by little. Words like eat, milky, yucky, teeth (toothbrush time), bath and other things that help me realize what he really likes. It makes life a lot easier, that’s for sure. He is also very behaved when his Tita Jenny and Tita Sheila watches him but when Mama is around he seems to be active trying to test mama’s limits. Well he is two so it is somehow expected but I am just thankful that he is so behaved when I am not around to give whoever is watching him a break.
