Morning to night

twice over.

Yesterday, Small got up, spent a *very* long time on the toilet giving me a running commentary on his bodily processes and telling me slightly surreal knock knock jokes, and then successfully wore pants for the entire day including two hour long car journeys to and from school.

Today we didn’t get the knock knock jokes as he’s already used his overnight pullup, iyswim, but the rest of the day was equally successful. He’s even started telling A at school when he needs to use the loo, which is what he is doing at home. Actually, I forgot to blog that on Monday didn’t I? He did pretty much the whole day telling me when he wanted to use the loo, apart from the parts around our library trip where I prompted him.

So that’s all come together pretty well. I will of course, having blogged such amazing success, spend tomorrow night cleaning his car seat 😉

Big is having a great time at holiday club. They’ve done lots of hama over the past few days, as I’ve taken in hama beads and boards from beadmerrily. There’s also been playing, painting, sewing, playdoh, and today they’ve put up a tent in the back yard. Home from home it seems 😀

  1. holiday club sounds great! and once more well done to Small 🙂

  2. These pants are made for wearing
    And wearing’s what I’ll do
    I am such a big boy now
    That they’re never covered in poo!
    Sorry – mild sleep deprivation gave rise to randomness. Well done Small and I’m glad Big likes holiday club. I hope you’re drumming up lots of new customers for Bead Merrily.
