Huge Milestones!

Yup, i wouldn't call the following achieved little milestones.
To me, those are great strides my little princess has taken. =D

Little White Throne
I decided to put ADri on her little white potty which i had bought many months back. After some immense struggle (that got perspiration trickling down my forehead), Adri successfully pee-ed and poo-ed in it! Just imagine that! My little one got it right at her first attempt! It wouldn't be hard for you to imagine how broadly i was smiling! =D =D

Put her on her potty on Tues and once again, she did her little business in it, and much to Mummy's delight, within a few short minutes and with greater ease. =D

Today, i put her on her potty again. Wanted to get that done before her grandmother turned up. To my dismal, my little one was terrible distracted when Granny and Daddy returned home. She didn't want to pee. The moment she got off the potty and sat on the floor (before i could put her diaper on her), she pee-ed!
Mummy was awfully amused. =)

Sip Sip!
Instructions on package wrote that an infant could start sipping from a straw at 8+ months. I decided to change ADri's spout to a straw and gave it to her last night. Adri resisted the straw a couple of times, liken to how she resisted the spout when it was first introduced to her, wriggling non-stop, just to set herself free from Mummy's grip.
The inevitable struggle ensued cos Mummy was rather persistent. Think u know the outcome - Adri finally realised what Mummy was trying to get her to do; she settled happily in my arms, sipping her water through the straw mug. =)

Gave her her straw mug today and my little Adri did not forget the skill she picked up the previous night! =D

For sure, the reinforcement (something that teachers strongly believe in) will continue.
i am looking forward to her (Adri) being diaper-free and to her drinking from a water bottle =D
