PBMT - Day 199

Getting very frustrated taking care of Adrian these days. Not that he's not behaving but feeling very depressed at times that Adrian still acts like a baby in many ways. The fact that he still does not know how to chew and drink from a straw cup have made Mama very stressed. After the OT&ST appointment the other day, she's decided from that day on - Adrian can only drink water from a straw but nothing else (no more spoon fed)!! So Adrian only drank minimal amount of water from the straw in the past two days (as expected) and her worse fear happens. We suspect Adrian constipated... he usually does his "business" early in the morning but nothing came out today. Mama gave up and spoon fed him water and he finished 8 oz of water in less than 5 mins! At the end of the day, Adrian poo'ed and just as Mama thought her mission was a complete failure; Adrian drank more than 6 oz of water from the straw cup when Papa gave him the cup tonight. He must have liked Papa more :-( Hopefully he'll slowly get into the habit of drinking from the straw cup.
