Tasik Kenyir Breakaway

We decided to take a short break, this time to Tasik Kenyir Resort and Spa… unfortunately, it was in the rainy season…we hardly saw Mr Sunshine….we had a dip in the swimming pool once, touring the town of Kuala Terengganu but did not managed to stop by at the places of interest, and on the last day of our stay, we got to go on a boat ride around Tasik Kenyir even though it was pouring….

It was a nice place…we hope to go there again when it is sunny…lots of outdoor activities can be done…

A few pictures here…pictures tell a thousand words…enjoy!

a successful training...

i've been longing to write about Jihan's recent achievement....it has been almost 3 weeks that she has successfully wee-wee in the toilet and 1 week of successfully poo-poo in the toilet...!!!

it happened out of sudden...we had trouble to get her to pee in the toilet as she kept holding her urine in the bladder...she would do that from morning till late afternoon until we put her back on diapers, then she would pee (a lot!!!) in her diapers....i wasn't that good at being so patient...she said that she wanted to pee, when i brought her to the toilet nothing came out...every few minutes she would drag me to the toilet but she came out dry....so 1 evening, i was peeing in the toilet bowl and she squatted on the floor in the toilet, and there it was her first pee without having me to scold and force her to pee....yeay!!! and now she would pee on her lovely toilet seata dn she just loves flushing the toilet....



and since then, she was dry by day and surprisingly by night as well, and there was never any accident before....and when we go out, she will pee at the public toilet, provided it is clean and non foul smelling...



but then i had another serious problem with Jihan....she was having constipation as she tend to hold her bowel content...i asked her to just poo-poo in her diapers but she was reluctant and kept telling us that it will leak to her legs...she ahd only 2 bowel movements per week insted of her normal habit of everyday and that was really worrying....her stool was quite hard and she only passed out a little....



then one day, she just decided to poo in the toilet and it was a success...the next day, she poo-poo 5 times in the toilet and since then she poo-poos daily in the toilet...



and now she keeps telling people that she is already a big girl as she is now fully utilize the toilet very well....and she got herself a Barbie tri scooter with a Barbie helmet for her excellent achievement....



P/S: she never use her expensive potty that we bought last year for the training....maybe i should keep that for my next baby....

BPA-free feeding bottles

i heard about BPA-free feeding bottles for quite some time but i did not take any action towards it...it's not that i was ignorant but i was quite usy to read thoroughly about it until recently....

you can just type the word BPA at any search engine and you'll be surprise at how much articles and beneficial informations you get from them and you would want to turn 360 degrees....BPA causes more harms than good...!

to my surprise my Jihan had been using a non BPA-free bottles since she was born!!!! after making some research, i decided to throw away the old bottles and change to a new brand...the older brand, AV*&T has not marketed the non BPA bottles widely in Malaysia yet, so it is quite difficult to find one...so, i resorted to MAM....i brought Jihan to to Mothercare and she chose the pink bottles....

Jihan seems to like the bottles without any fuss...it wasn't difficult for her to change from the old one to the new brand....

i'm waiting for the Year End Sale (YES) to buy a few bottles of similar brand for my newborn later...
