Today CE is 37 months old. I don't think I'll continue to do the monthly updates for him. Blame it on my laziness, forgetfulness and there aren't many new things to update every month. :p But since I skipped his update last month, I'll do a brief one here.
Naptime Experiment
This experiment, which started about 2 months ago, has failed. He's now back to wearing diapers for naptime. Although he was doing quite well at the beginning, I have to stop the training as he was sick and on medication (too drowsy to be aware of the need to urinate while sleeping). Then after that, his 'performance' wasn't consistent. Some days he's okay, some days I've to change him and the bedsheet halfway through his nap. You see, he disliked the rubber mat or towel to be put under him. So when accidents happen, he wets the bed as well. Moreover, he doesn't realise it that he's wet the bed. He doesn't wake up immediately. I take that as a sign that he's not really ready yet. Anyway, on the days that he doesn't wet his diaper, I'll use it again at night. I guess I'll wait till he's really ready.
Milk & Fruits
His milk intake has been reduced to 2 times a day (skipped the afternoon one) since I started to let him nap without diapers.
Have introduced rambutan and lychee to him. He loves them. He's tried durians when he was smaller, didn't reject them. He's not too choosy when it comes to fruits. His current favourites are banana, grape, mango and dragon fruit.
Behaviour
He's become a big cry baby. The start of the Terrifying 3 stage? When he doesn't get what he wants :
(1) he jumps on the spot like a rabbit and/or
(2) cry out loud and/or
(3) keep repeating what he wants.
If he doesn't do ALL 3, then it's any combination of the 2. :D
Others
When he speaks, he likes to end with "... ah", especially his questions. "Mie, can we play games ah?" Aisay, speaking like a cina ah pek.
Makes request to go for movie. To him, movie = popcorn. Obviously, he's only interested in the popcorn. hehehe
Not so obedient anymore. Will sometimes protest when I ask him to brush his teeth or bathe. I guess as they grow older, they have their own preference and won't follow our orders willingly all the time.

Don't worry, take your time. My #2 is still wearing diapers to sleep at night and she's 4yo :(
He's doing great! Little guys go at their own pace with the potty training!
enJOY your day!
I am lazier than you, stop jotting down Sethy's milestone about months ago :P Glad to know that CE is growing up very well! Must be a hard time for mommy to cope with his 'Terrifying 3' crankiness :)
CE is a big boy already. :) I have the same thinking as you..hehe..I also want to stop doing the monthly updates for Gwen. Same here, Gwen's also beginning to protest..haih..
Oh ya...the Kao magiclean can be washed? Wah..I never thought of that..hehe..anyway I'm lazy to wash lah. Just buang lah. The one I bought from Daiso, I never recycled. How do you wash them, by the way?

Don't worry, u can always train him again when he shows signs of readiness.

happy 37th month old, getting more lengchai :)
i stopped since many many many months ago. haha Dun worry la. When he is ready u'll know it.
CE,the next time aunty Jo-n's daddy brings his own grown mango and when I see your mummy, I'll pass some to you, ok?
u've got a great fella there. he's been obedient for 37 months! our fella's started to ignore our requests months ago. hehehehe
and i gotta say that i agree with the diaper thing. soon he'll be ready for it i'm sure. every kid's got his / her own pace.
When he does that behavior thing, just don't give in.
I'm sorry Slavemom coz I've "accidentally" deleted ur message at my post there when I clearing some of the junk messages.
I also encountered some problem with training my gal to urinate at night and have bed-wetting at least once a week in past month. But lately she is going great, and she will tend to wake up in middle of the night now. So when I see her wake up (me being a light sleeper), i will get her to go to toilet, which she did not resist. :)
Be persistent, soon your son will adapt to waking up at night and going to urinate.
Ginie, when he's ready he will be really ready...so just let him be. SP only went diaper free at 3.5 years old, just b4 he started kindy.
Ya I agree with other mummies, when he is ready he will be really ready. So don't worry. Good to hear that he loves fruits!
happy 37 months old to CE!
gv him some time on the diaper thing...sure he is ready when he is really ready :-)
CE is okay with durians? Bravo. Coz most of the kids dont like its taste.
I like durians alot, you?
