No, I’m not THAT crazy. I actually believe that when children are ready, they are ready. Of course, if you want to start them early to familiarise them with the act, there is no harm though you may be wasting a lot of precious time.

For T1, I taught her the act of running around naked when she hit 2, with some accidents here and there for about less than 2 weeks before she started feeling cold down there got it. During that time, all carpets were rolled up and any soft furnishings put away, especially the Persian carpets! She never had an accident at school after that but there was once at a story telling session before she hit 3 when she was SOOOOOOOO excited that she pee’d right there!!! I was so embarrassed!!! The girl had held her pee because she didn’t want to miss out on the fun and when she suddenly told me she had to pee, it was too late! Gosh! And there were soooooo many people at the bookshop as well! I swear I wanted to pretend she wasn’t my kid!!!

She still wore night diapers till she was 3.5 years old though but when she started waking up in the morning with dry diapers, we knew she was ready. However, Mommy still wasn’t ready to clean bedsheets at 4am in the morning, so we always woke her and brought her to the toilet at midnight for a dream pee. T1 has never, ever, EVER had an accident in bed. Good girl. Or the Hubs would have been having fun changing bedsheets at 2am. Tee-hee.

Lately though, T1 has been to the potty to poo 3 times because purely coincidentally, when I changed her diaper, I saw her butt winking at me so instead of wasting yet another fresh diaper only to be poo’d in seconds later, I’d sprint her to the toilet for some gold depositing. Sometimes, I’d catch THAT LOOK and I’d strip her like a man in heat and rush her there too. So yeah, she’s poo’d in the toilet 3 times in the last week. It’s a lot more convenient for me and easier on her bum too as it’s not soooooo messy as the poo hits the toilet bowl directly on target and not get all mashed potato-ed up in said diaper.

T2’s first toilet poo before 12 months – a reason to celebrate with Che-Che, T1!

I’m sorry if you were in the middle of a meal *burp*

She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
