Misha: 27 months

Finally made the move to a toddler bed for Misha (10/11/2015). So far no major issues. Initially, I put a thin mattress on the floor just in case she fell off the bed...but she doesn't move much. After a few days I removed it and just put her small sofa bed instead. She did come down from the bed after her nap a few times but I quickly went in and put her back in bed and told her she has to wait for the bell. Within a week she seemed to understand what was expected and after opening the door she would say 'bell', I would say yes and then only she would come down. So I think the transition was pretty smooth. At this point she was still having sleep issues (very short naps and protesting naps) but she was quite good with obeying the rule of staying in bed.

Sleep
This has been an issue for the whole month although it is slowly improving. Initially she was crying for a long time before each nap and the minute she woke up (after a very short nap) she would start screaming or crying till I got her. But for the past 2 weeks it's been slowly getting better. Right now she will be calling out for a few minutes then sleep. And when she wakes up she will also just keep calling out (no more shouting...much). Usually she just says things like, 'Mummy go downstairs' or 'Mummy enough sleep'.

Talking
She is really talking a lot now. Sometimes in full sentences. Her favourite thing to say is 'I wanna...'
She will even say 'I wanna don't want...' sometimes.
She is also singing a lot of songs...Twinkle star, ABC (she knows almost the whole thing), Row your boat

Squint
Took Misha to the orthoptist on 3/11/15 to check her eyes and confirmed she has a squint in her right eye. So we now have to wear a patch on her left eye every day for an hour to help strengthen her right eye. She has been quite good with wearing the patch. It's quite sticky so removing it is a bit painful but I use the same patch for 2-3 days so its not always so sticky (not to mention it saves cost as well).

Potty training
She pooped with me holding her over the toilet...only happened once so far. Most times she insists on the toilet insert and she never poops when we are out of the house.

Halloween
We went 'trick or treating' at BSC and Misha was quite excited about it all...she even learnt how to say trick or treat and raise up her pumpkin container for sweets!

Cameron Highlands trip
Went for 3 nights with my parents and brother. We stayed in one room and she managed to sleep well in the Kinderkot. No naps though. Surpirisingly at the end of the day, after changing to pajamas she would simply go inside herself and lie down. Most times we were still getting ourselves ready for bed (bath etc)  but she just went in and slept! Must have been really tired I guess.



Sunway Lagoon
Jing had a company event there and this time Misha really loved the pool! Initially she was very hesitant to go in but after  awhile she put her feet in and slowly she got braver...even went down the slides! At the end of the day she kept saying 'I like it...swimming.'
