"Mummy, I have no urine to pass!"

Yesterday was the first day Greg went diaperless at childcare. He has been just wearing his brief at home since 2-3 months back and Hubby asked me why we have to keep buying him Pampers pullups almost every week. Greg doesn't like Drypantz and loves to wear only either Mamy Poko or Pampers ones at school. These pull-ups aren't cheap. I guess they fit him better and he prefers the cartoons/ designs on MamyPoko and Pampers. Sms-ed Greg's form teacher (Teacher Roze), and she's kind enough to let Greg try going without diaper at childcare for the first time yesterday.

Luckily, Greg didn't have any "accidents" at childcare. He strongly refused to put on his pullup when I went to fetch him from childcare. You see, I planned to go fetch Hubby at Harbourfront before we head for our home in SengKang. I was concerned that he might suddenly drop me a bomb to say he wanted to pass urine while we were on our way to Harbourfront as I would be driving and he would be sitting behind on his own. Since he refused, I got him to go toilet before we left childcare. Sigh... he requested for milo and yakult after that. I have some plastic bags(those with green strings and the type of plastic bag that you get when you go wet market buy tau hway zui) ready in the car. I was so worried that before he hopped onto the car, I asked him to pass urine again, but this time, into the plastic bag at the carpark. He just looked at me helplessly and said, "Mummy, I really have no urine to pass..". Aiyo, I felt so bad when he said that. I then told myself that I should trust him and should he really need to pass urine in the midst of traffic jam, perhaps it's time he learns how to control himself. I guess I was too anxious.

Well, when we arrived at Harbourfront, Greg revealed that he needed to ease himself. Waaahh... i felt so relieved and glad that he only said it then. *PHEW*. I wasn't that concerned when Hubby took over the driver's seat. At least I know I can rely on those plastic bags if Greg really needed to pass urine in the car. I could always get Greg off his carseat and get him pee into the plastic bag before tying it up. It only becomes a problem when he's left alone in the carseat behind, with either I/ Hubby driving. Hmmm... wonder if I should get Greg learn how to use those plastic bag himself!! On second thought, I doubt he knows how to tie the plastic bag and it's highly likely that he will spill the urine eventually...I can only now imagine the mess he would create! Haha..

Guess what.. Greg refused to wear his brief this morning when I was preparing him for school. Usually I would change him at the back of the car while Hubby drives us to the childcare. He was visibly upset that I did not bring along his favourite brief. I explained to him that his green brief was washed last night and is still wet. He refused to listen and kicked up a big fuss - whining away and throwing his tantrums. Immediately, Greg was sent straight to his time out corner (in the car!) and he went to childcare without his brief on. I wonder he will feel sad or blessed if he knows his mummy is a clinical psychologist!! Sigh.. what a day to start my Tuesday morning!
