Hand's Up & leg's Up

Vernon will put his leg on the up position whenever u say Leg's up. He start to understand this when I was doing exercise. he keep observing me while I slowly pull my legs in the up position. from there I told him, this is leg's up. and I asked him to follow mommy. so now & then when he is on his bed, and when i say leg's up. he sure will lie down & pull his leg on up position.

I should take a snap shot of this picture......this is really fun when u see your kids is growing &

understand what u mean.

he usually will put his hand's in up position when he hear music is playing or whenever I say hand's up.

"The PoP-Onz pop ' n Stack blocks is a great addition to the pop-onz building system, with colorful pieces and animal friends that clips so easliy on the pegs."

Vernon can pop, build, and play the fun in easy way. and he also can see the connection. at first, he was attracted by the colorful blocks & the animals. after a while he start to drop the block everywhere in the living till he papa turn on the music of the Pegs. he start to searh where the music came from........ahahahhh he wonder where the music come...???

Potty train

To asnwer Q on potty train :

For the last 2 weeks, we actually try to bring him to toilet about every half an hour or after he had drink lots of water. becoz previously I try to use a disposable cup for him to wee wee, but he don't want. he want to grab the cup from u & play.

so we decided to change our tactics, which is to bring him to toilet more often. we will keep asking him go wie wie....want?? and daytime we try not to let him wear any diaper. so that he aware that if wee wee & get the floor wet is a messy thing. and every one time keep telling him......ssshh ssshhh whenever u want to wee wee okey...................................

after about a week, my MIL & Maid told me that he will awake from sleep to ask for wie wie, and then continue his sleep again after go wie wie. so from then onwards I can tell, he finally aware. but not for the big business yet......lah I mean "poo.."

hopefully he will soon manage to tell us whenever he want to do big business........hee.eee

Sunday 25-Mar-2007 today is papa birthday, we only buy a small cake & celebrate at home. no special outing as Papa say he is very tired where we cancelled our original plan last minutes - dinner with Nai nai & Kuku. Vernon is now able to tell people when he want to wie wie, i can say he is potty train success after 2 weeks trial.
