This is hilarious! We are entering the world of potty training rather slowly! They do grow up so fast but definitely a stage I would like to see the back of very quickly.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! When GG takes a book into the loo with her it can be hours before we see her again!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant post!
ReplyDeleteBoth Little G and I are not good with dirt so potty training will be NOT fun for either one of us! Last time she saw a poo in her potty she freaked out so much that we had to throw away the potty and get her toilet seat thing - she does love the flushing part!
This really made me laugh - we've just come through it all - I need trauma therapy!
ReplyDeleteHilarious post - laughed all the way through. Then I remembered POD keeps taking her nappy off *borrows potty training manual*
ReplyDeleteVery amusing, especially paying 20p for a false alarm. You should have a read of Chapter 1 of Adventures in Potty Training which lists some of the possible consequences of abandoning nappies for pants:
