Potty Training - Partially Successful

For the whole of last week, Yuxin has been urinating in a potty. Hurray! After many months and times of trying to let Yuxin use potty and the results are showing now. At first, I was worried that she may not use the potty even when she is three. Now, my worries are gone.

Mommy was very 'kiasu', she actually bought three different types of potty to train Yuxin. Initally, I bought those standard sitting type potty. Then it was not successful. So I bought another one, which is those traditional type that I used when I was small. This traditional potty sometimes will stick to Yuxin's backside when she stood up. After sometimes, I bought another one which is an 'add-on' type and it is to place on top of adult potty. However, in the end Yuxin uses the very first one that I bought.

Although Yuxin can urine in the potty on her own now but she still don't know how to make 'big business' in the potty. For a few times, she done her businesses onto her shorts. She need to do it in a standing position. Usually, I will put back diaper to let her pass motions comfortably. If not, she will feel awkard and cry and don't know how to 'pang sai'. Hahaha...

Mommy cut her hand badly

Today, I had my first and horrible experience of 'lossing so much blood by a cut' in my life. Just don't know why I can be so clumsy. I dropped a bowl while I was washing it and it broke. I didn't even know how the broken bowl cut my hand. The very moment I broke the bowl, my hand was bleeding furiously. The blood kept pouring out. I felt painful & giddy. After a little rest I went down to clinic to see our family doc. The doc gave me a jab and said the cut is not very bad, it can do without stitch. He kept explaining to me, when such thing happened don't panic, just get a clean towel, press & hold on the cut to stop the bleed.

For me, when I saw my hand bleeding I was at a lost. I put my hand under running water to wash away any impurities. It was Yuxin's grandma who told me to get a towel to press on the cut. Then she applied chinese medicine "青草油" onto the cut, which is very painful. Luckily Yuxin had recovered from fever which started on last Saturday and doesn't need my full attention on her. She was obedient when the accident happened. She only said kept saying "mommy 流血". What will happened if Yuxin keep crying when she saw mommy was bleeding badly? I cannot imagine... Now, I can understand something better. It goes "I'm a mother. I cannot afford to fall sick. If I'm down, who is going to take care of my child."
