I'm a full-time mummy

Yes, people!

Finally the day has arrived!

It's my 32nd birthday today!

Don't know what to say except I am blessed with an understanding and supportive hubby and 2 cheeky kids, a helpful MIL, wonderful in-law siblings, bonding well with my one and only elder brother, made a new bestie (I have 2 now! Yay!) and meet with lots of you wonderful people!

Never would I imagine getting married,

getting pregnant,

giving birth naturally,

quitting my job to be a SAHM,

breastfeeding exclusively,

finding my passion in blogging,

getting pregnant again after almost 2 years,

breastfeeding throughout the 2nd pregnancy,

giving birth naturally again,

tandem nursing 2 kids,

being alive to write this post and thank God for everything I am blessed with,

and everyone for being a part of my life...

Here's wishing you all a happy and blessed day!

(it's my birthday, I want you guys to be happy and have a memorable day!)

If you are a parent, you will surely have or need to use this: Baby Changing Station.

Now, what is a baby changing station? It is a table on which you lay your baby down to change his or her diaper. So, regardless your child is on disposable or cloth diapers, like I said earlier, we as a parent will surely own one.... or at least need to use one when we are out and about.

To be honest, we don't own one but we do McGyver-ise one of our office tables to be a baby changing station. Now of course, we don't just simply take a table and use it as a baby changing station! We have to consider whether the table is sturdy enough to support the weight of our child, whether the surface of the table is comfortable to place our child on, and whether the size is wide and long enough for our child to be placed on the table. And as our child grows up, we have to consider the functionalities as well, whether it can be used for other purposes later on.

When we go out, I like to check out the baby rooms facility provided by the place we go to. Some of the places (like malls) have wall mounted baby changing station which is space saving and strong while some places make use of changing pads and placed them on some table or racks.

Do you have a baby changing station?

What features do you think is important in a baby changing station?

One of the things I wanted to see and finally get to see it! I blogged about starting Ben back on his potty training few weeks ago after months of delaying it.

Just a brief of history, I only started potty training Ben when I was in my last trimester of pregnancy with baby Alyson  - imagine having a bulging and heavy belly bump and running (Yes, RUNNING!) to the toilet to and fro everytime Ben says 'Shh shh' (aka pee-pee). I could actually stand that for a month or so and then after Alyson was born in Sept 2011, I stopped Ben's potty training as I can't cope with potty training until recently in February, we decided to resume the potty training.

My 3 year old boy finally sitting on his potty to poop! He started doing this at 35 months old. Prior to that, only peeing into potty, no pooping, thank you very much!

The moment we tried suggesting him to sit on the potty, he either ran off or straight away saying loudly 'NO!'

I am so happy to see this finally happening! Maybe you will think 35 months old is a tad too late for a toddler to poop in his potty but we try not to rush Ben's potty training and let him decide on his own (of course, a little prodding and suggestions here and there hoping one day he will try sitting on the potty ahahaha) but the point is, if he doesn't want it, we let it slide and try the next time.

No point trying to force our child into doing something when he is not ready. It might backfire and made him terrified of trying the next time, hence the reason for our subtle approach and just let things go on its own.

Looks like it's working! Yay! More updates on Ben's potty training next time!
