Potty Training… Done.
I was rather expecting to be updating my blog on how potty training was going for at least a few weeks. In my mind, poo and wee would assault our house on a biblical scale, accidents and false alarms would send our routine into chaos and J and I would emerge from the experience in a similar state to men returning from the trenches in World War I (both terms of shell shock and appearance).
As it was, I think that buying sixty pairs of knickers may have been somewhat overcautious. It took Evie and Jem just a couple of days to get the hang of using their potties, and just a few more of detemined potty-sitting for Scarlett to join them.
Poos have been a little more difficult but we’re getting there. In a surprise turnaround, this time Tettie has been the first to come to terms with pooing on potties, while Evie prefers to wait until she has a nappy on and Jem has used the potty a few times but only after running around, flapping her arms and making melodramatic squawking whoops for about ten minutes first. Not entirely sure what that’s all about.
So, apologies for lack of anecdotes but there hasn’t been much to tell really.
So, in the style of Gordon Ramsey, I feel safe to say: Potty Training… Done.
