Don't you just love toilet training!

At the ripe old age of 2 and 3/4, Miss Prue has very suddenly decided to toilet-train herself. Not to be rushed, all other half-hearted attempts have always been abandoned within a couple of hours. On Tuesday, the day before the commencement of swimming lessons (9 days out of 10 in town), madam says "I will wear undies now". Hmmm, great I think, but why now, and why 10 days before our holiday which will have about 8 hours of car travel to get there and 7 days of not knowing where the nearest public toilet is???

Anyway, it seems to be going well so far, only she has commandeered the toilet near the bedrooms as 'moine', and mine alone. The rest of the family are meant to schlepp to the laundry toilet, where there are frequent daddy long legs so Prue is not using that one.

God help us is all I can say.


PS we are up to 3 inches now between Wednesday and today! Rain, that is.

Nurse Nyngan, excuse me, but there will be no need for another room, thank you very much. !

Gotta love it.... William has begun training himself too. I think being the youngest of three, it is just second nature to him. I find the BabyLove brand of "pull-ups" fantastic for car trips. Much cheaper than the Huggie variety & just as effective. William is my only one who will use the potty. The other two used to scream blue murder when I put them on it. Will just sits himself down & then brings you the evidence for congratulations!!
