Throw Me Out

Olivia has a potty. We are not potty training as such but we keep the potty next to her changing mat and we leave it up to her to say whether she wants to sit on it. We have also got her a story book about potty training, 'Nappy Duck and Potty Piggy', which is a real favourite of hers at the moment.

We will try potty training in the spring/summer next year when she is about 2 and a half and the weather means she can play outside and wear lighter clothing which will be easier to deal with the inevitable little accidents that go along with potty training. In the meantime we are trying to get her used to the potty and what it is for. She is fascinated with the toilet habits of the rest of the family, insisting on accompanying me on every toilet trip and demanding to know the contents of every one of Grace's nappies (' Poo poo? Wee wee?').

We are not really expecting much in the way of performance and she just gets praised for sitting on the potty but on one momentous occasion she did give Grandma a little treat, which she then insisted on bringing through to show to Mummy. Ever the blogger I insisted on taking a photo of the first little heart shaped potty poop...
