Surprise delivery

Thumper, for the record: at ripe of age 2 years, 4 months, and 10 days, you did your first (proper) poo in the potty.

You were playing around out the back (having a quick 'nudie run' before bedtime), busily clipping pegs onto the side of the peg basket, when you suddenly called out saying you had a wee. So I called out to DeepSpice to get the potty! You sat on it for a few seconds and then stood up. "A wee, a wee!" you proudly declared, showing me the empty potty. I duly congratulated you for your efforts and went back to cleaning up after dinner.

About 5 minutes later, you called out again, so DeepSpice went to see what was up. "A wee on my bike" you helpfully informed him. So after your little ride-on toy was cleaned up, we again left you playing happily outside.

Ten minutes later and we were once again summoned - this time you were carrying your potty to the back door. "A poo! A poo in the potty!" I have to admit that I was skeptical. But sure enough, this time, you had delivered - there was indeed a poo in the potty. My first concern was where else there might be poo. But thankfully your feet were clean and that meant the surrounding area was (most likely) clear too.

Just between you and me, at this point in time, I am so completely over nappies and I can't wait till you no longer need them. So congratulations and keep up the good work!
