I have two nearly toilet trained children.
After a week or so of
occasional accidents on the carpet or starting to go before stopping
himself and then going to the toilet, Tao is suddenly saying that he
needs to go before he goes. There isn't the biggest time buffer in the
world but it's plenty of time to get from wherever we are in the house
to the toilet. I have no idea how we will fare out and about if he ever
needs to go when we're out but I have flat nappies (for wiping up
messes), spare underwear and shorts in the backpack for him these days.
Need
to buy Ru some underwear, as she is used to either going nudiebum and
using the potty or doing wees in nappies. And I haven't yet had the
guts to take her out without a nappy.
We're going so well I'm considering palming off Tao's remaining waterproof nappies.
And
speaking of nappies, Ruan is quite possibly finally growing out of her
size1 BubbaJs. Although she could also just be chubbing up for a grow,
I'll hang on to them for a little while longer. Miss Skinnybum still
fits easily in 000 pants seeing as she now doesn't have nappies to bulk
her bum up.
Tao is still trying to learn how to read and
recognise letters. Still loving the puzzles. Ruan likes to dance and
tumble, and has recently discovered the joys of drawing.
I really
need to be doing a lot more with them, they seem to want/need the
stimulation. Been a bit slack the last few days, combination of going
to bed late and really wanting to work on the animation. Going to have
to try to organise time with webmonkey work and animation. Sigh.
Other than that, all is well with the world.
