As they grow...

They are achieving their milestones, one by one, day by day. We are becoming more and more proud of them, but sometimes it can give us headache too *sigh*

He is 25 months old, and he is near to perfect in toilet training. 99% of the time, he tells us before he pee and we are in time to get him to the toilet. He does forget 1% of the time, especially when is too engrossed with something; watching Barney, playing a new toy, etc.

However, when he poo, he is only capable of telling us when it is at the tip.. and by the time we bring him to the toilet, he has done it in his pants! I know, he is getting there. We’ll just have to wait another few weeks and he’ll be 100% toilet trained :)

On the other hand, his milestone of walking has given him so much freedom to explore. Now he is walking all over, switching ‘on/off’ all the switches along his way, switching on the fan, dragging big stuffs (things heavier and bigger than him), climbing everything cabinet and sofa.

Yesterday, he was going under the altar table (a bit taller than him) and climbed it’s based, sitting on it, hang onto the sides.. swinging. We were afraid that he might knock himself on the sides or even bring it down, so we moved it to the smaller living room. I was carrying him while apps moved it. When I let him down again, he went to the altar table’s location and started crying.. non-stop without tears! Hmmm, Champion never did this...

At MIL’s, he loves to climb the coffee table, and jump onto the sofa from there. I didn’t quite believe it, until I witnessed it myself. Arrghh!! What a headache.

He seems to be more mischievous than Champion. Even at 25 months, Champion is a very good boy compared to 13 month old lil’ President.

I’m afraid that it would be difficult to discipline lil’ President when he is a bit older. I wonder whether he will listen to me just like Champion does? I hope he does.. coz’ it’s all for his own good :)

Hmm... brothers, but their personalities are so different.

Yikes.. and they are both boys..

I guess all kids are different and develop differently too. Gee.. I will have something to look forward to.

Amazing that they are from same parents huh? hehehe..well, i am sure lil president will behave.. maybe u have to use different techniques..
i can't really imagine myself to have another kid...i don't think we are ready at all. :)
U n apps are doing a great job raising Champion and Lil president! :)

It is interesting to watch all these different stages in a childs life. And you are so right that each child has their own personality. I have two and they are so different, like night and day but each one is special in their own way.

Egghead said...

is a good thing mah that they have distinct personalities... kinda remind you that you have two different sons... not two sons of the same kind :)

zara's mama,
Yep, they are both boys!
They are both very very different. I am keen to see more of their personalities as they grow up :)
I'm sure Zara and her sibling will amaze you too :)

May be I was naughty and apps was a good boy *wink* So, like parents like children ;)
He better behave, or else I will have to start my military school.. hehehe :) (not that bad lah, just disciplining)
Don't worry about that.. you'll handle them well when the time comes.
Thanks. Its a tough job, with help from apps and parents, we hope we're doing our best ;)

starry nights,
Very interesting indeed. I like to see how similar they are to apps and me :)
You can say that again ".. they are so different, like night and day but each one is special in their own way." :)
Your children.. different gender or the same?

egghead,
Yeah, in a way it is fun too :)

jazzmint said...

hehe...no worries I think Championz will help you to control Presidenz...

geeth said...

jazzmint,
Eh, you're correct. Now and then, Champion will tell me what is his brother doing, coz' he knows what is good and bad. That's a relieve :)

Wah, jump from coffee table to sofa? Sounds like a lil dangerous eh? BB also likes to run fast and jump into something.

But you have a lil golden finger to report to you what dangerous act lil president has done. :)

geeth said...

allyfeel,
Dangerous isn't it!
Same loh.. run, run, fall on me.. and I hurt my lips/nose/chin, etc, but he not pain!

Yeah, so good that I have my reporter. Very useful indeed.. especially in dangerous situations :)

geeth said...
