Being the first and only child 5.5 years ago, we spoilt Alycia rotten. Even her first potty cost close to a hundred ringgit! Silly me (being a naive first time mom) for I did not know then how impractical those fanciful and cute potties are.   It’s heavy and bulky.  I did not know then how troublesome it was to wash the potty with so many parts, gosh! I am one who likes to wash the potty after every pee and scrub the potty with detergent and a brush after every poo.  I even wash my own toilet seat twice a day!  Alycia didn’t want to sit on the cute potty with the head of a lamb as handle. In the end, it ended up at daddy’s office storeroom for 5 years! Instead, Alycia immediately took a liking for the 3 ringgit blue plastic no-frills potty bought from the market… and was potty trained in that cheap and practical potty! So was Sherilyn and now Baby …in the cheap cheap no-frills red and blue color potty which my mil bought from the market lol! Who says no-frills and cheap cheap things are no good eh?
The other day, the hubs brought back the expensive lamb head potty back from his office for Baby. I told him how impractical that potty was. He would never know coz he has never washed a potty! With Baby, I can’t recall a time that he changed Baby’s diaper or spoon-fed her. You see, the more kids I have, the less involved the hubs is with them (when it comes to diaper-changing, bath time and feeding time – all the back-breaking, not nice to do chores!). Play time and fun time are another story. He’ll be the first to volunteer!
That expensive potty has now become Baby’s new toy, like a rocking horse!
Daddy also brought back Alycia’s first booster seat. That booster seat has also become Baby’s other new toy!

I agree with you in 2 things. Cheap thing ain’t not good and the more kids we have, the less involve the daddy will be.
I totally agree with you one point, the more kids we have, the less involve the daddy. Same here too. Hub hardly carry Kelsey or Kelsey’s change diaper etc…
Talking about multi-functionality….at least Baby has some new toys….:D
At least they r put to good use now. 🙂
Anyting “new” in the house is a toy, isn’t it?? 🙂
