Talking milestone and potty training

EJ's vocabulary is expanding by the day. It is just pure amazing (my fave word when it comes to him)! It's gotten hard to track all the words he's learned. My hubby and I just shakes our head in awe with this adorable creature who we proudly call our son =)

At 21-month old, here are the words he's learned and counting:

Distinct and clear:
mommy, mom, daddy, daddy, honey, hon, bye, go, run, think, eat, sit, feet, two, toe, boat, no, yeah, train, hot, pot, hen, food, yoyo, pool, bike, soap, swim, fox, heart, egg, shadow, kili-kili (yes, as in kili-kili! hehehe)..

Last syllable missing:
shoe (shoes) , tee (teeth) , no (nose) , mee (milk), baa (bag), ju (juice), cah (car)..

Funny:
pappi (airplane, helicopter), gigoli (balloon), buli (banana), penye (penguin)..

He is also a polite baby:
ted yu (thank you), pisss (please)

He can identify his body parts like: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, face, fingers, kili-kili (yes, in filipino), elbow, tummy, knee, feet and toe.

But EJ is not potty trained yet. He hasn't shown any readiness yet.

I bought a potty chair and when I put him there, he would cry. He loves to play with it though..hehe..

Partly the reason why he's not potty trained yet is that I am not ready too. Meaning I am a very lazy mom. I am still not ready to add "cleaning the mess" to my current chores yet.

From what I read about potty training, it can be very challenging. It involves "hit and miss" which I am not ready to deal with.

Of course I cannot just totally ignore this. I promised myself though that we would start the training by the time he turns two. Unless he'll show readiness before his 2nd birthday.

Hahaha! Gigoli is such a cute and funny word for a balloon.

About potty training, i also bought a potty chair for the little guy when he was 18mos, but he hated it so much. So i postponed it until his 2nd bday. And you know how our potty training story went. hehehe. it's still a miss.
