The day a toddler flies

30th March
I was woken up by the ring of the telephone at 630am. Daddy and mummy were up already and daddy changed me and we scooted off to the Singapore Changi International Airport Terminal 3 in grandpa's car at 7am. My flight is at 930am and we had some time to spare at the airport.

Missed my morning nap and only started napping in the aeroplane after lunch but was awoken shortly when another baby started crying.

We arrived at Perth International Airport Terminal 1 at 330pm and I started sleeping again until we we out of the airport at about 430pm. Mummy said that was because of the luggage that came out late that caused us to get out of the airport late.

Took a taxi to collect my carseat and collect the rented car at Bayswater in Guildford. Daddy drove to the nearest supermarket at Bassendean and I had my dinner there.

Got onto the roads at about 630pm and we started our down to Pemberton Farm Chalets, Pemberton for our farmstay. You can find out more about this chalet here.

We reached there only at about 1030pm and I slept only at 12am. So much for the first day of my trip. :)

I am ONE!

Here's what I can do at ONE!
- Cruise
- Stand unsupported for a second or unconciously
- "talk" in sentences
- point to places that I want to go to and things I want
- carry out simple instructions
- like to see birds
- play feeding
- wave "hi"(but only depending on my mood)
- say yes (but only depending on my mood)
- sleep through the night if I sleep on my parents' bed
- press buttons
- play nesting games


Currently I weigh 8.3kg and stand at 75.5cm tall.

straw please

I'm officially a straw drinker now. :)

My sleep patern has gone hay-wire. I need company when sleeping. Mummy's would be best and I'll faithfully wake up between 1am to 3am until I get carried to the queen sized bed sandwiched between daddy and mummy.

Yawnz.

Sleep Training..conclusion

OK so I can sleep on my own after 15mins of crying and grumbling and whining. I think Daddy and Mummy are getting used to it already. Sometimes I can just sleep in 15mins without crying, if I am too tired.

Onthe night of day 5, I woke up in the middle of the night at 2am and only got back to sleep at 330am with mummy coming to carry me and staying by my cot patting me. I was crying so loud that she rather sleep with me in her arms. That was just one time that day.

Last night was a breeze. I only woke up at 6am :) I'm improving. :) I am a big girl now. hee

Sleep Training -- Day 4

I took 15mins to fall asleep. Even though I woke up in the middle of the night to cry abit, I still managed to get back to sleep on my own.

Daddy is so proud of me. :)

Sleep training -- Day 3

I took half an hour again to get to sleep.

Once mummy finishes the bedtime story and starts to shower me with cuddles and kisses, I see the bed as my enemy. :p

Not sure why, I woke up in the middle of the night and the cycle to make me get back to sleep starts all over again. Another half an hour at 1 something in the morning. Sigh

Daddy and Mummy didn't respond to me calling them and they only came in for a short while.

Hope that next few nights will be easier.

Sleep Training -- Day 2

Mummy and Daddy says (more like the magazine that they read says) this will be over in 3 days max. Day 2 of training. Maybe I was tired and I cried less. Only took me half an hour to get to sleep.

Mummy is so proud of me. :)

Sleep Training -- Day 1

Daddy and mummy is putting me on training to sleep on my own. They use this method where I will have to cry *sobs*.

Today, after reading me my bedtime story, they put me into the cot. It took me 1hr to get to sleep. I cried the whole time.

I managed to sleep through the night only waking up once in the middle of the night compared to the previous night. :)

More tomorrow.
