Not only are you dry, but you're dry at nights too. I can't believe how quick you took to this! Plus, 3 weeks after starting, we had to do a 5hr car journey and stay away for a few days in unfamiliar surroundings, and you still managed to stay dry!
I cannot explain just how proud we are of you!

Potty Training (3)
Day 3 of potty training.
You are doing so well! Really really well! I am so proud of you!
Today Amazon delivered 'Princess Polly's Potty' and 'Toilet Training' by Gina Ford. Only one is for you, the other is for me. You were so excited by the princess book, but I realised very quickly, that you need a 'boys' version. I have ordered Pirate Pete and his Potty. It'll be here tomorrow ;)
Anyway, you were jumping off and on your potty so excitedly today, and not a single spill! We played, you watched films and we talked a lot. (Mummy finally got her car insurance sorted)
Halfway through the day you screamed 'Mummy, Nappy!' at me. I ran over, but it was too late, and you'd messed your pants. You were so mortified and upset, and you told me I was angry. I could never be angry at you for this, you try so very, very hard. We cleaned you up and put your poo in the potty. I gave you lots and lots of cuddles, and told you how much I love you, that I was so proud of you for trying, and for telling me.
You then told me we needed to put the poo in the toilet, so we went upstairs and transferred everything. I cleaned up what was left, and we changed your pants too. You seemed a lot happier when you flushed the toilet and watched everything go.
The rest of the day you continued to wee in the potty without any trouble and told me few times that you'd had an accident. I kept telling you it didn't matter, and that we'd do it right next time. You were a lot happier.
I also called you upstairs for a surprise. Daddy & I had bought you a Star Wars Lego duvet set. I will never forget your face when you walked into your bedroom and saw it, and the way you gasped and held your hands to your mouth! It was wonderful :D
You're sleeping so soundly now, and you were excited to sleep in it. Daddy really needs to help me replace our broken washing machine..
I love you so very very much xxx

Teachings in the way of the potty...
My little boy, we are potty-training. Potty training! We thought about it a while back, but you were more interested in wearing your potty on your head, so we left it for a while.
You have 2. A lightning McQueen 'all-singing-all-dancing-makes-revs-when-you-'flush'-it' one, that lives in the bathroom. When you first got it you decided you'd rather use it as a step. Your other one is a purple 'pourty'. This was your 'hat' potty that has lived in the living room for months, and had everything but what we wanted, in it!
Yesterday I figured we could try it all again. You're 2yrs and 7months. After a few accidents, you did lots of wee's in the potty and I have never been prouder! You spent the day running around the house with nothing on your bum ('I'm NAKED, Mummy!), and telling me you were using the potty. We didn't quite get there with number 2's. You managed a tiny one all by yourself, and shouted me through. I cried with happiness, I was so proud!
There were quite a few kick-off's yesterday, and on one particular visit to the time-out step, you shouted through that there was a 'massive poo on the time out step!'. As if it had magically just appeared there!
Today I figured you'd done so well, that we'd try you in 'big boy pants'. You had a pair of black pants with Francesco Bernoulli on the front, from Cars 2. We went out and about and i took your potty with me. You told me several times that you need a wee, and we made it to the potty. No accidents at all, and we had a great time! We bought you 2 sets of 'big boy pants'. One with Spiderman (Fiderman) and one with Star Wars. Of course ;)
We got home, and you stood on the fireplace and wet yourself. I'm not sure why, but you told me you wanted to so you did! Later you decided to poo on the floor. Again, because you don't want to use the potty.
Our washing machine has also just died, so this is definitely going to be a challenging week. I'm really glad I'm getting to teach you to use the potty though. I'll never forget it. I'll try harder to be a better Mummy and have more patience.
I love you so much xxx
