Constipation No More


Actually Ern is sitting on a potty to do her 'big business' (past motion) in this picture!.

It all started many months back, she called me out that she wanted to past motion at 3am. I was worried if she would catch a cold inside the air-conditioned room, hence I put up her blanket on her. Ever since, she always asked for a blanket! *roll eye*

Well, all along Ern doesn't have past motion problem until 4-5 months back. Instead of daily 'depositing', it became every alternative days. Sometimes, can drag to 3 days!

We have seek PD advice and we were told to introduce more fibre/vege to Ern. We added more serving but not much improvement.

One day after talking to Charlotte's mummy, I was told the fruit/vege intake for Ern is consider a lot. So, Ern shouldn't have this problem. So, I draw a conclusion that my lil fella 'simpan her treasure"!!

Then, I decided to introduce and 'programmed' past motion is part of Ern's routine. I make her understand the importance of past motion. Of coz she doesn't understand what I was tying to tell her. In the end, I have to 'force' her by threatening her like:

" If you don't "ng ng" (past motion), worm will stay inside your tummy"

"If you don't "ng ng", you are not a good girl".

She freaked out on the worm trick and sit on potty obediently. She did past motion daily ever since. (thank goodness) Right now, we don't need to remind or threaten her anymore as she would tell us she wants to 'ng ng' before lights off.

Other than threatening , I did a role play with her.



I asked her to 'ng' bear bear, just like how we 'ng' her! hahaha...I tell you, it works, ok?! So back then, whatever tricks worked on Ern, we buy that! :-)

Yesterday night before she fall into sleep, she was talking to herself by doing role play (i guess):

"Bear bear, you ng ng in potty ok?"
" Come, quickly!"
" Ng..ng..ng" (she made the sound)
" Are you done?"
" Wait for Ern Ern..Ern Ern take wet tissue to wide your 'pi ku' (bum bum)"
" Good girl..no worm!"

I just couldn't stop laughing (inside my heart) after hearing her conversion. She has grown up so much!
