My little Yakult boy
Which kid doesn't love a bottle of Yakult?
Whilst he started off calling it "Ya-yot", Noey quickly improved on his pronounciation of that bottle of the precious liquid. He asks for "Yalk-kult" whenever he can, be it first thing in the morning or even in the middle of the night when he is roused by a bad dream. Sadly for him, Mummy here hands over the bottle of Yakult rather sparingly. In fact, even when he gets to have a bottle, I usually drink some of it first so that he doesn't drink to whole thing. That's probably why the first thing he does when I hand the bottle over to him is to put some distance between himself and Mummy and quickly finish it off! (Which was what he was doing in that photo above, by the way.)
If only he was half as interested in his milk!
YEAH! Why are kids such yakult fiends?!?!? I don't remember being one!! I always did wonder how come they drink their milk so slowly but they can polish off their yakults and juices and ribenas in record speed!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, i've always been giving YK the reduced sugar version, until recently, i allowed him to try the orange flavoured yakult in its full sugared glory, and he immediately said, "Mmmm! It's MORE delicious!" hahahahaha!
hee hee. Sat was the first time kate tried yakult. it's gonna be one of those 'special occasion things' like chocolate! :)
ReplyDeletei'm still trying to teach Bean how to use the straw.
ReplyDeletekopikia :: ok, i remember liking yakult but DD still loves it, even now! guess i really shouldn't be surprised by Noey's love for it. hey i didn't know they have reduced sugar versions (or is that vitagen?). think it's too late to intro Noey to that instead?
ReplyDeletelyndis :: oh! oops, noey's bad influence. he gets one about once a week :P
michelle :: maybe yakult would give him the incentice to learn real quick? heh.
If nat doesnt see it, he doesn't ask for it! So he doesnt go for supermarket runs with us which means, no yakult at home!
ReplyDeleteThough to my mum's dismay, he rejects chrysanthemum tea and barley drinks, preferring milk (at certain times) and water most times.
I love Yakult myself! Yes, try him on the reduced sugar ones. They taste really similar so he may not be able to tell the diff. :)
ReplyDeleteooh yakult! yum!
ReplyDeleteYum...I haven't tried giving yakult to Caitlin yet, then again I'm not sure where to find it here, hmmm. Caitlin loves her yoghurt though and will literally lick the little pot clean! :)
ReplyDeletelilsnooze :: he's a milk boy :) noey loves chrysanthemum. i guess it's cos the packet versions are so sweet. and he'll ask for a yakult at any opportunity!
ReplyDeletechocklitmum :: i just did get the reduced sugar ones -- vitagen? he likes them the same and i have abit more peace of mind. thanks!
daphne :: you can always find some in our fridge!
ker :: i wish noey loved his yoghurt. i think i give it to him so often he's bored with it.
You know what I used to do? Open up the yakult, drink half, fill the half back up with plain water, close the lid again, and stick in the straw. Looks like a full new bottle, but less cold and less sweet! heh, they won't know any better. Now I bochap already tho :)
