Well, lots have been happening lately and gosh, who knew that life with a little toddler being a total drama princess at times and at times a stunt and at times a circus staff, would be so time consuming...lol...
My little darling is all over the place, all the time, every time....
She is into everything, one moment cooking and cleaning, the next jumping from the couch to the chair, the next moment she is playing balls and writing on the walls, next she is playing with her baby and training her to go potty, then on to dancing and watching videos of herself, then playing with the stuff in the cupboards and messing the whole house, which i just happened to clean, upside down and inside out!!!... whew... just writing this makes me feel exhausted... the real thing is 10times more everything!!!
Oh yeah, we started toilet training Mona.
We bought a toilet seat for kids first, but she just would scream and we would try to get her to go and sit on the toilets. So we quickly put that idea and the seat back in the cupboard and instead got a potty.
For a while, the potty was just sitting there accumulating dust, then one day, i remember that she had a doll who came with a potty seat, i got it out and show her how her baby wants to go potty and that Mona can also go potty on her new potty. Mind you, she is not stupid, she just stood there, looking at me showing her how baby loves the potty, then said a frank and loud "No! I'm Ok"... lol
After a few days, however, she stared to play with the potty of the doll, and when she sat on it, it was to small for her little bumbum, so i asked her to tried her potty, which to our surprise, she did, and since then, she has been sitting on the potty, sometimes with her clothes on and sometimes with nothing on, but still nothing done in there yet, no matter how hard we try. We just have to keep waiting i guess...
A couple of days ago, Mona helped me to cook breakfast. We made eggs. She was standing next to me, on her chair and she added the salt, pepper, paprika and turmeric to the eggs. And it turned out so yum and she ate all of her eggs.
She loves helping out now, each time i am putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher, as soon as she hears me opening the dist washer or sees me next to the sink, she comes and says: 'Nona help" (Mona helps). I give her the spoons to put in the cutlery basket and then allows her to put the dishwasher liquid and close the door and put the machine on to wash. She is so happy when i thank her for helping me! She just loves it.
She also helps in putting the table. I give her to put her plate and cup and sometimes other non-breakables on the table and she enjoys the feeling that she is really helping out.
She often goes and put stuff in the bin or on the table and feel happy that we have asked her to help.

And when i am cleaning the house, i give her a clean cloth and an empty bottle of detergent in which i put water and she helps me scrubs the tables and other furniture... she just loves it... she says "Nona cleans" or "Nona cleaning" or "Nona help". It's just so cute!!
Anywhoo... here are some pics from past weeks, and will update with some videos sometime soon.
Enjoy...
