What an Achievement!

Last night, Greg, Yanti and I went out for dinner at Compass Point. I "gave" Yanti a day of MC to rest yesterday because she looked really unwell. We drove round the carpark at Compass Point several times but still we couldn't find a slot to park our car. Greg grew somewhat impatient.
Greg: Mummy, there's no space for you to park the car?
Me: Yup. I am still looking. Perhaps you can help me spot one?
Greg: Hmmm... Mummy, I push one car out and let you park ok?
Me (Looking puzzled): Push one car out?
Greg: Yes, I eat vegetables in school today you know. I have strength to push one car.
Me (laughed): Oh really?
Greg: Mummy, you stop your car somewhere. I will get out and push one car out so that you can park.
Me (agreeing to his request because i wanted to see what he would do): Ok. I have stopped my car. Which car would you like to push out?
Greg: *Paused for a while* Ok... JieJie, you go push that white car out. I wait here with Mummy..
Yanti and I burst out laughing... I think he enjoys solving problems for adults, regardless of whether the solution is feasible or not. I thought he's just so funny..

At his childcare centre this morning, Greg suddenly told me that he had wanted to pass motion. Not wanting to force him to sit on his school's toilet bowl, I gave him an option to either sit on the toilet bowl or I would put on his pull-up for him. He decided to give the former a try. And yes, he succeeded in passing motion into the toilet bowl, and he felt so proud about it. He quickly got up from the seat and counted his faeces happily.. he even said, "see Mummy, my poo poo is floating in the water. I need to flush them away because they are so smelly!" I guess he has not developed any aversion towards toilet bowl but it's just a matter of when he's ready to use it for passing motion. I know he still doesn't like to use the toilet bowl at home because it's too high for him. I suppose I shall let nature take its course, and when he's ready, he'd be ready I believe. Just wanna say, "Good job Gregory!! Mummy is so proud of you!" =)
