Not all my training pants were dry up early in the morning but most of them were ready for me to use. Luckily I moved them nearer to my air-con compressor unit that released the hot air which speeds up the drying process. So I decide to kick off my training again. (I know I still don’t have enough training pants to tie me thru two days if it rains the next day.)
With the experiences I gathered yesterday, I told myself not to get frustrated anymore with Yvette. And knowing this change is not easy for Yvette to cope too.
I recorded her “toileting pattern” and this was the progress today.

Overall I noticed Yvette couldn’t hold her urine after drinking water or breast milk.
On our trip to United Square with Yvette, I realized I can’t be “Wonder Woman” anymore. Last time I still manage to be able to carry a lot of stuffs plus carrying Yvette. But today I experienced great difficulty. Yvette always wanted to be on the ground and I brought too many things. It’s so hard to keep her in my arm. I am trying very hard to lug those stuffs I brought back home by taking a bus. Luckily the bus wasn’t very crowded. If not….
