It has taken me what feels like forever to potty train Nora. It’s not just having an over active toddler that makes it difficult, it’s also me being tired and lazy.

But I keep reminding myself that Nora is getting older and that my mom potty trained us all by 10 months or a year the most! Mom told me to just let her wander around our home with just her panties and no nappies and after a few accidents, she would know what to do. The problem is majority of our home is carpeted… I know that is a lousy excuse.

A couple of weeks ago before I even knew I was going to Malaysia, I bought her a travelling potty which arrived a couple of days before I bought the tickets. How convenient! Jules said that my mom would sort her out… but I also know my mom’s mentality is, she is your child you sort her out and I’ll advise where I see fit.

The good thing about mom’s house (as most houses in Malaysia) is the floors are not carpeted. So when Nora is at home, she runs around in her panties… and a few accidents happened… and I tell her off… and my mom console her *sigh*

But today… as I was uploading some photos to send to Jules, Nora looked at me desperately and cried out ‘poopoo’ but nothing happened when I took her to her potty. I told her that she’s a good girl anyway for being aware.

So, I sat down again only to rush to her a minute later when she again cried out poopoo. I told her no matter how many times this happen, I am happy that she does it. When she did stand up, I must be the proudest mom to see a poo in a potty!!
