My Maxyn turned 21-months-old today. As much as I want to keep her as a baby, I know I cannot. All I can do is enjoy every moment I have with her while she is an infant and that is exactly what I am doing. Plus teaching her lessons and skills in a fun way.
I am proud to say that as early as now, Maxyn is almost potty trained. She still pees in her undies at times but she already knows the potty trainer and its use. She no longer wear a diaper in the evening. Aside from that, she sort of has an established routine already.
Established routines are important because this is what our kids will follow until they are old as these are the foundation. Routines help in forming good habits when it comes to sleeping and eating. Other routines can teach our kids how to be responsible. It also gives our children a sense of security. With established routines, our children will have that innate sense of what will happen next which can mean less chaos, better behavior, and easier for us, the parents.
Here is our girls’ routine. Greet everyone upon waking up. Eat breakfast. Play. Take a bath. Eat lunch. Sleep. Play outdoors. Eat dinner. Clean-up. Bed time.
we don’t have any routine. haha! there are times that Elijah doesn’t want to sleep in the afternoon, sometimes he sleeps at 6 pm. i just let him with whatever he wanna do. I make sure he’s eating at least four times a day. Un lang.. haha! Di ko sya pipilitin matulog kasi di rin susunod. :p
when i visited my best friend at her house, this is the routine that i witnessed: she & her children eat breakfast, play outdoors, lunch time, take a bath, siesta, snack time, bonding moments, clean-up, bed time. i find it kinda funny because it seems that they are just playing… ^_^
I believe too… that as early as now parents must have established routines for their kids. This an early developmental stage crucial for the child’s shaping mind
you always kinda remind me of my best friend. you’re both an inspiration to
PROUD MOMS out there, with regards to raising up your kids. thumbs up for you ^_^
I can’t seem to train Una to sleep in the afternoon. Gosh, lagi naming pinag-aawayan yan. 🙁 Minsang matutulog siya sa hapon, hirap naman matulog sa gabi.
