The Toddler Diaries 'Friday'

Sorry about the lack of blog yesterday but wasn’t really in the mood. Newsflash from yesterday, success at last, the target has landed, in other words Bethany did two poos and wees on the potty. To be completely truthful, she was aided slightly by my mum who noticed the beginning of a straining face and produced the potty at lightning speed. Still it’s a start. Today we had even more progress, she said she needed a wee and then produced one on the potty. Chocolate buttons all round. Don’t panic, that’s one button each not a whole packet. Well actually two.

This morning Mr Incredible and the fairy princess went to Rainbow kids. Bethany now insists on walking instead of going in the buggy, which is good for her but rather hairy for me and very bad for my stress levels as she veers towards the busy main road. Still, on the up side the buggy’s lighter and we did all make it home in one piece.

Interesting incident at the shops this afternoon. Noticed Joshua looking at a toy in one of the shops, didn’t take too much notice. Half way home realise he still has said toy, and no we haven’t paid for it. Completely oblivious to what he’s done! Return boy and toy to shop and pay for item. Fortunately it was only a charity shop!!!

After this we decided to make brownies while Caleb was asleep. I asked my little helpers to break the chocolate into a bowl. Stupid I know, but I was so focussed on getting the brownies done before Caleb woke up that I didn’t think it through. When I looked to see how they were getting on they were merrily munching their way through it. Of course they were, what was I thinking!! Bethany managed to cover herself from head to toe in chocolate, and I had to steam clean the kitchen floor (thanks mum). I think it’s bath night again.
